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 ~530 km via NH48 / NE1, using each preset's configured range and consumption. This is not a recommendation based on price, safety, comfort, or overall vehicle quality.

Citroën ë-C3 Aircross
~350 km range · Typically 1 DC stop
The ~530 km drive is longer than one comfortable leg in a Citroën ë-C3 Aircross. EV Grids estimates one DC session on NH48 / NE1 when you start around 80–90% SOC.
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 Mumbai → Ahmedabad.

Long-tail guides for NH48 / NE1 — operators, state hubs, and NH-specific EV charging notes linked to this route.
Leave Mumbai at 88–92% SOC with your real vehicle preset selected (not a random long-range SUV). For ~530 km on NH48 / NE1, EV Grids will place DC searches when estimated SOC crosses your threshold. Charge in Surat or Bharuch if your pack is smaller than 300 km real-world range. Verify Gujarat operator tariffs in the app before you plug in. Charge to what the next leg needs — often 80–90% — then open Google Maps with your chosen primary and backup as waypoints toward Ahmedabad.

Mumbai to Ahmedabad covers about 530 km in 8–9 hours on NH48 / NE1 (West India). Major industrial corridor via Surat and Vadodara — flat terrain with improving DC coverage at toll plazas and city bypasses. Real consumption still depends on speed, AC, payload, and elevation — enter Wh/km from recent drives instead of brochure range.
NH48 (old NH8 in stretches) mixes expressway plazas with industrial-belt chargers; detour into a city mall is usually slower than a highway CCS2.
At ~530 km you should assume two DC sessions for mass-market Indian EVs, or one long session plus a top-up for 75 kWh-class SUVs. Split mentally into halves; if the second half includes a ghat, charge higher at the last plains stop.
Local notes drivers actually use: Charge in Surat or Bharuch if your pack is smaller than 300 km real-world range. Verify Gujarat operator tariffs in the app before you plug in.
Western Ghats monsoon (June–September) is the planning event: wet climbs, landslides, and slower trucks. Gujarat heat is a summer AC problem more than an elevation problem.
Open Plan now to pre-fill Mumbai and Ahmedabad. 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: 530 km at roughly 165 Wh/km needs on the order of 87 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, which puts this leg at about 2 DC sessions. A mid-size (about 50 kWh usable) pack reaches about 240 km before reserve, which puts this leg at about 2 DC sessions. A long-range (about 70 kWh usable) pack reaches about 340 km before reserve, which puts this leg at about 1 DC session.
Split 530 km into thirds of roughly 176 km. One stop late in the first third and one early in the last third spaces the charging better than a single long halt in the middle.
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 NH48 / NE1 accordingly.
On NH48 / NE1 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 Mumbai and Ahmedabad. 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 (mumbai-to-ahmedabad) so badges and ranking can be updated.
