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 512-kilometer route from Wuhan to Zhengzhou in China requires a drive duration of 350 minutes, presenting a straightforward but demanding journey for an electric vehicle driver. The normal climate on both ends minimizes range reduction concerns, allowing drivers to rely on standard efficiency estimates. Given the distance, a single charging stop is typically sufficient for most modern EVs, especially if starting with a full battery in Wuhan. The route is not cross-border, simplifying logistics without customs or grid compatibility issues. Drivers should note that while stations are plentiful, the concentration in Zhengzhou is low, so topping up before entering the city is advisable to avoid last-minute range anxiety.
