May — pre-monsoon heat advisory
May and June heat across India often adds 10–15% energy use on highways (AC, battery cooling). Bump reserve SOC and search threshold for this route.
- AC load and hot battery packs reduce real range — add 5% reserve SOC in May–June.
- Plan DC stops earlier than winter; verify live charger status before you leave each city.
Suggested planner settings: 25% reserve SOC · 35% search threshold · hills & weather on (includes monsoon adjustment Jun–Sep)

Frequently asked questions
- Chennai to Coimbatore in one day?
- Yes for most modern EVs with 1–2 DC stops from 85–90% SOC.
- Should I set Wh/km on EV Grids for this route?
- Yes, if you know your car's average consumption. Vehicle presets pre-fill Wh/km (e.g. Nexon EV Max ~155 Wh/km). Highway driving with AC in Indian heat often uses more than the brochure figure — enter your own Wh/km for tighter SOC estimates and safer stop spacing.
- How do lower-cost and max ₹/kWh filters work?
- Enable Prefer lower-cost stations to rank Tata Power, Statiq, ChargeZone, and other networks by indicative ₹/kWh. Optionally set a max ₹/kWh cap to skip pricier sites when the operator is known. EV Grids still checks you can reach each stop with your reserve SOC — if a cheap station is too far, we suggest a reachable alternative.
