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 607-kilometer drive from Sendai to Hamamatsu requires approximately 463 minutes behind the wheel, a journey that crosses no international borders and remains entirely within Japan. The normal climate conditions along this corridor mean that battery performance should not be significantly impacted by temperature extremes, allowing drivers to rely on standard range estimates. Practical planning should account for at least one or two charging stops, given the distance, but the dense network of stations makes it feasible to use smaller battery packs or top up opportunistically. The terrain between these cities is generally flat along the Pacific coastal plain, minimizing elevation-related energy consumption, though drivers should still monitor state of charge during the long stretch.
