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: not shown, because no electricity market price is available for Japan.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 407 g/kWh (Japan, Ember Climate, Monthly average, March 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 719-kilometer drive from Sapporo to Sendai requires approximately 610 minutes behind the wheel, making it a demanding single-day journey for an electric vehicle. Both cities experience a normal climate, so no significant range reduction from cold weather is expected, which is favorable for maintaining consistent efficiency. The route is not cross-border, simplifying logistics as no international charging standards or payment systems come into play. For EV drivers, the high density of stations suggests that multiple short charging stops could break up the long drive, but the total travel time will likely extend well beyond the 610-minute drive duration when factoring in charging sessions.
