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 Germany, day-ahead market, as of 18 Oct 2026 (0.172 EUR/kWh); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 258 g/kWh (Germany, energy-charts, as of 18 Oct 2026).

Driving an electric vehicle from Stuttgart to Dresden along the 507-kilometre route, which takes 315 minutes of drive time, requires careful planning for cold-weather range reduction. Both cities are located in Germany’s cold climate, which can cut EV battery efficiency by roughly 20 to 30 percent, meaning a real-world range may be significantly lower than official estimates. Since this is not a cross-border journey, no additional charging network complexities arise from country changes. The relatively flat terrain of the A4 and A9 motorways helps mitigate some range loss, but a single charge is unlikely to suffice in winter conditions. A practical expectation is one or two charging stops, each adding 20 to 40 minutes, depending on vehicle and charger speed.
