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

Quick tips

  • Charge in Kanpur if below 50% SOC.
  • Summer: AC load increases consumption.

Frequently asked questions

Kanpur to Lucknow without charging?
Yes for virtually all EVs from 50%+ SOC. One of the easiest UP highway legs to start with.
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.
