The “long distance suitability” is a 5-star rating indicating how suitable a vehicle is for long trips. It is based on the 1-Stop Range: the total distance a vehicle can cover with one 15-minute fast-charging stop. 2025 thresholds: 0 <200 km; 1 200–325; 2 325–450; 3 450–575; 4 575–700; 5 >700. Half-stars are linearly interpolated.

Charging Overview

Category Details
Home/Destination (AC) Type 2 (left-front); onboard 22 kW AC. 0→100% ≈ 4 h 45 m via 22 kW; ≈ 120 km/h.
Fast DC (CCS) CCS Combo 2 (left-front); peak 210 kW; ~150 kW avg (10→80%). 10→80% ≈ 26 m; up to ~930 km/h session rate.
Plug & Charge Supported (ISO 15118-2).
Autocharge Not supported.
Battery Preconditioning Supported; automatic when navigating to a DC fast charger.

Actual AC/DC speeds depend on grid connection, site load, ambient temperature, cable rating, and initial state of charge.

Home & Destination Charging (0→100%)

Charging is possible via a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always via a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the EVSE used and the car’s maximum AC capacity. Availability of 1-phase vs 3-phase varies by country.

Charging Point Max. Power Power Time (0→100%) Rate
Wall Plug (230 V / 1×10 A) 2.3 kW 2.3 kW 45 h 13 km/h
1-Phase 16 A (230 V) 3.7 kW 3.7 kW 28 h 21 km/h

3-Phase 32 A (400 V) 22 kW 22 kW† 4 h 45 m 120 km/h

† limited by onboard charger where applicable.

Fast Charging (10→80%)

Connector: Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2). Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest time. Charging power drops significantly after ~80% state-of-charge; typical rapid sessions end at or before 80%.

Charging Point Max. Power Average Power Time (10→80%) Rate
CCS 50 kW 50 kW 50 kW 78 m 310 km/h
CCS 100 kW 100 kW 90 kW† 43 m 560 km/h
CCS 150 kW 150 kW 115 kW† 34 m 710 km/h
CCS 175 kW 175 kW 130 kW† 30 m 810 km/h
CCS 350 kW 210 kW† 150 kW† 26 m 930 km/h

† Limited by charging capabilities of the vehicle. Autocharge: automatic initiation at supported CCS stations (not supported). Plug & Charge: automatic session initiation per ISO 15118 (supported). Real-world rates vary with temperature, battery state, site load, and driving style.

1-Stop Range Definition ⚡

The 1-Stop Range is calculated using the standardized driving profile and assumptions outlined below.

It represents the total distance covered in two trip stops, separated by a single 15-minute fast-charging session.
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.

🚗 Driving Profile

  • Begin with a fully charged battery
  • Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
  • Perform a 15-minute fast charge
  • Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC

📋 Assumptions

  • Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
  • No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
  • The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
  • The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition

⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.

5-Star Rating Definition

The 1-Stop Range represents the distance a vehicle can travel after a single 15-minute charging stop. To highlight the influence of temperature, this range is calculated under three identical weather conditions used in the Real-World Range benchmark. The 1-Stop Range in combined conditions is the basis for the star rating, which offers a quick and comparable measure of long-distance suitability across different vehicles. This rating helps drivers immediately see whether a car is practical for extended trips relative to its peers.

Assignment of Stars in 2025

  •  0 less than 200 km
  •  from 200 km to 325 km
  • ★★ from 325 km to 450 km
  • ★★★ from 450 km to 575 km
  • ★★★★ from 575 km to 700 km
  • ★★★★★ more than 700 km

Based on 2025 thresholds: 3 stars awarded for 490 km average. Half-stars interpolated. Vehicles with a rating between these values receive a rating based on a linear scale.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80% Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
