๐ก How to Plan an EV Road Trip
Usable range per leg = rated range ร 80% (to account for real-world conditions and charging from 20โ80%). Charging stops = (total distance รท usable range) โ 1, rounded up. Each stop typically takes 15โ30 minutes at a 150 kW DC fast charger.
Pro tip: plan to arrive at chargers with 10โ20% battery and charge to 80%. Charging from 20โ80% is the fastest window. Going from 80โ100% takes nearly as long as 10โ80% due to taper. Route planning apps like ABRP plan stops automatically.
800 km trip in an EV with 400 km range: usable per leg = 320 km. Stops needed: 2. Time per stop (150 kW): ~20 min. Total charging time: 40 min.
