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 Canada.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 113 g/kWh (Canada, Ember Climate, Monthly average, April 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

Driving an EV from Toronto to Quebec City covers 806 kilometers and requires approximately 599 minutes of drive time, a journey that crosses Ontario and Quebec entirely within Canada with no border complications. While the raw count of charging stations appears ample, their distribution and reliability in cold conditions become critical; a driver may need to stop every 150 to 200 kilometers to ensure a comfortable buffer against range loss. The terrain is largely flat through the St. Lawrence River valley, which helps mitigate energy consumption compared to mountainous routes, but cold temperatures still demand careful pre-conditioning of the battery before departure. Practical implications include expecting at least three to four charging stops, each lasting 30 to 45 minutes, and verifying station availability in real time, as the sheer number of stations does not guarantee operational units in winter conditions.
