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 China.
- Market dataCO2: energy x grid average carbon intensity of 440 g/kWh (China, Ember Climate, Monthly average, May 2026, older than 45 days, last available value).

The 1,135-kilometer drive from Wuhan to Chengdu, with a driving time of 774 minutes, requires careful charging planning despite both cities being in a normal climate. This density suggests a charging stop roughly every 17 kilometers on average, though practical stops will likely occur every 200 to 300 kilometers depending on vehicle range. The normal climate means no significant range reduction from cold temperatures, allowing drivers to use standard range estimates. The terrain between the two cities includes mountainous sections, particularly through the Sichuan Basin approach, which may increase energy consumption on uphill grades. EV drivers should plan for at least two charging stops, accounting for potential elevation changes that could reduce real-world range by 10 to 15 percent compared to flat-road estimates.
