Plan now uses a vehicle preset, 90% start SOC, Wh/km from preset, and cost-aware ranking on longer corridors. Adjust on the planner page if needed.
This rates how much planning the route needs, not road quality. Charger spacing comes from stations recorded in the EV Grids cache and changes as coverage grows.
Ranked by estimated charging-stop count on ~95 km via NH27 / Agra–Lucknow Expressway, using each preset's configured range and consumption. This is not a recommendation based on price, safety, comfort, or overall vehicle quality.
Fewest estimated stops
MG Comet EV
~230 km range · Often no DC stop
At ~95 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.
Jump to chargers, overnight hotels, meal stops, or pick your EV model — each page links back here and opens the trip planner pre-filled for Kanpur → Lucknow.

Long-tail guides for NH27 / Agra–Lucknow Expressway — operators, state hubs, and NH-specific EV charging notes linked to this route.
Leave Kanpur at 88–92% SOC with your real vehicle preset selected (not a random long-range SUV). For ~95 km on NH27 / Agra–Lucknow Expressway, EV Grids will place DC searches when estimated SOC crosses your threshold. Charge in Kanpur if below 50% SOC. Summer: AC load increases consumption. Charge to what the next leg needs — often 80–90% — then open Google Maps with your chosen primary and backup as waypoints toward Lucknow.

Kanpur to Lucknow covers about 95 km in 2 hours on NH27 / Agra–Lucknow Expressway (North India). Short UP corridor — ideal first highway EV test with minimal charging needs. Real consumption still depends on speed, AC, payload, and elevation — enter Wh/km from recent drives instead of brochure range.
NH27 toward the Northeast has genuine sparse stretches. Split long days; Siliguri-style hubs matter more than brochure range.
Kanpur → Lucknow is a short hop (~95 km). Most highway EVs starting above 75–80% SOC need no DC stop, but still select a backup near Lucknow if you left home below 60%. This is a good first test of EV Grids: plan, open Maps, ignore the urge to skip backups.
Local notes drivers actually use: Charge in Kanpur if below 50% SOC. Summer: AC load increases consumption.
May–June heat around Delhi–Jaipur–Agra is brutal on Wh/km. Winter mornings can cut range on hills toward Himachal and Kashmir; fog adds time, which adds AC or heater load.
Open Plan now to pre-fill Kanpur and Lucknow. Pick your vehicle, set start SOC honestly, and keep search threshold above reserve. Prefer lower-cost if you have memberships; Fastest if you only want high-kW DC.
This is an EV Grids calculation, not an observation: 95 km at roughly 165 Wh/km needs on the order of 16 kWh of road energy, and the planner keeps a 20% reserve in hand.
A compact (about 40 kWh usable) pack reaches about 195 km before reserve, so it can usually complete this leg without charging. A mid-size (about 50 kWh usable) pack reaches about 240 km before reserve, so it can usually complete this leg without charging. A long-range (about 70 kWh usable) pack reaches about 340 km before reserve, so it can usually complete this leg without charging.
At 95 km this is a single leg for most presets — the question is whether you start high enough, not where to stop.
Drive faster, run the air conditioning harder, or load the car and every number above moves the wrong way. Enter your own Wh/km on the planner and it will re-space the stops for NH27 / Agra–Lucknow Expressway accordingly.
On NH27 / Agra–Lucknow Expressway you will typically see a mix of Tata Power, Jio-BP Pulse, Statiq, ChargeZone, plaza DISCOM guns, and the occasional mall DC. EV Grids ranks by detour and reliability, not brand loyalty. Memberships change ₹/kWh; they do not reserve a stall.
Do not wait indefinitely at a dark site between Kanpur and Lucknow. Use the backup you already selected; if a swap breaks a later leg, use Fix trip. Keep operator apps logged in. Hotel or mall Type 2 is a valid recovery if you have hours — better than a tow.
Report a permanently closed or moved pin via EV Grids feedback with this corridor slug (kanpur-to-lucknow) so badges and ranking can be updated.
