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 United States, residential retail average, as of 17 May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value (0.162 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 283 g/kWh (United States, U.S. EIA Open Data, as of 17 May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 229-kilometer drive from Seattle to Vancouver crosses the US-Canada border, a factor that may require drivers to have compatible charging accounts or payment methods for stations in both countries. However, Vancouver’s cold climate can reduce EV battery range by up to 30 percent in winter, meaning drivers should plan for a brief charging stop near the border if temperatures are low. The terrain between these coastal cities is generally mild, with some elevation changes through the Fraser Valley, but range anxiety is minimal given the high station density. For practical EV travel, a quick 10-15 minute charge at a fast station near the border ensures a stress-free arrival in Vancouver, especially during colder months.
