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 Australia.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 480 g/kWh (Australia, Ember Climate, Monthly average, June 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

This high density of infrastructure means drivers can expect frequent charging options, reducing range anxiety even in the hot climate of both cities, which can moderately impact battery efficiency. The route is not cross-border, simplifying logistics for Australian EV owners. Given the hot climate, battery cooling systems may work harder during summer, slightly reducing real-world range, but the abundance of stations mitigates this risk. A single charging stop of 20-30 minutes at a fast charger would comfortably cover the distance for most modern EVs, making this a straightforward journey.
