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

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 legs, separated by a single 15-minute fast-charging session.
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first leg is considered.

🚗 Driving Profile

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