July — monsoon & landslide risk on Northeast highways

Monsoon rain on NH27 and hill approaches raises landslide and washout risk. Range drops from humidity, slow convoys, and detours — enable hills & weather adjustment and plan backup stops.

  • Enable hills & weather adjustment on EV Grids for climb/descent energy use.
  • Charge to a higher % before the climb; regen on descents is helpful but not a full refill.
  • Wet roads and slower traffic extend drive time — keep extra buffer SOC.
  • Check highway advisories; have a backup charger picked on both sides of risky stretches.
  • Landslides and road closures can add hours — do not rely on a single charger in a narrow valley.
  • Monitor IMD / state highway alerts; split long NE legs with an overnight hub (e.g. Siliguri).

Suggested planner settings: 32% reserve SOC · 38% search threshold · hills & weather on (includes monsoon adjustment Jun–Sep)

Top pick

MG Comet EV

~230 km range · Often no DC stop

Easiest

At ~100 km, this leg is within a full charge for a MG Comet EV (~230 km ARAI) when you start at 90% SOC and keep a 20% reserve.

What to expect

Only ~100 km but steep climbs. Set Wh/km higher than highway average and enable hills adjustment.

Top up in Guwahati before ascending if starting below 70% SOC.

How EV Grids helps

Enter your real Wh/km for hill driving — brochure range understates Meghalaya climbs.

Check gun availability when Google reports live connector counts.

Quick tips

  • Charge fully in Guwahati before the ghat.
  • Shillong city DC is limited — arrive with buffer SOC.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a stop Guwahati to Shillong?
Often no extra stop if you leave Guwahati at 80–100% SOC, but range drops fast on the climb.
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.
