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 South Korea.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 368 g/kWh (South Korea, Ember Climate, Monthly average, April 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 252-kilometer drive from Ulsan to Cheongju, with a duration of 195 minutes, is a manageable single-charge journey for most modern electric vehicles under South Korea's normal climate conditions. Since the route is not cross-border, no additional border-related charging considerations apply. The terrain between these cities is largely highway, which can reduce efficiency at sustained high speeds, but the normal climate means no significant range reduction from cold weather. Practical implications for EV drivers include planning a single charging stop of around 15-30 minutes, depending on the vehicle's battery capacity and starting state of charge, with the dense network of stations offering flexibility in choosing a stop location.
