Assumptions behind these numbers
- Model assumptionStart charge 100%, arrive with 15% in reserve, charge up to 80% at each stop.
- Model assumptionUsable battery: 100% of each vehicle's listed capacity (the listed capacity may be gross or net; no correction is applied).
- Model assumptionSpeed: consumption starts from each vehicle's listed real-world efficiency, times a speed factor of 1.00 (1.00 = no speed adjustment).
- Vehicle dataWeather: each vehicle uses its own hot, normal and cold factor from our vehicle data, so consumption = efficiency x 1.00 / factor. Hot is 25 °C and above, normal is 10-25 °C, cold is below 10 °C.
- Model assumptionCharging speed: average power = min(vehicle peak kW, 150 kW cap) x 0.60 taper, plus 5 min per stop.
- MethodRange, energy and cost all use the same consumption figure. Energy is measured at the battery; charging losses are not included.
- MethodCharging stops are estimated from range and the charging window. They are not verified charging stations.
- Market dataCost: estimated energy cost at the average electricity market price for Italy, day-ahead market, as of 18 Oct 2026 (0.229 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 327 g/kWh (Italy, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

The 918-kilometer drive from Rome to Palermo, with a driving time of approximately 650 minutes, represents a significant Italian peninsula crossing that requires careful EV planning. Although the route is not cross-border, it does involve a ferry crossing to Sicily, which adds logistical complexity. Both cities share a normal climate, so no significant range reduction from temperature is expected. For a typical long-range EV, at least one or two charging stops will be necessary to cover the distance, likely around the halfway point near Naples or the ferry terminal at Villa San Giovanni. Drivers should account for the ferry crossing time when planning charging sessions, as the sea leg does not allow for recharging.
