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 ~165 km via NH160 / NH848, 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 ~165 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 Mumbai → Nashik.
Popular searches for Mumbai → Nashik — each page answers yes/no, typical charging stops, and opens the planner.
Long-tail guides for NH160 / NH848 — 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 ~165 km on NH160 / NH848, EV Grids will place DC searches when estimated SOC crosses your threshold. Monsoon: allow extra time on Kasara ghat. Wine-country weekend — plan return charge in Nashik. Charge to what the next leg needs — often 80–90% — then open Google Maps with your chosen primary and backup as waypoints toward Nashik.

Mumbai to Nashik covers about 165 km in 3–4 hours on NH160 / NH848 (West India). Short Maharashtra getaway — Kasara ghat adds consumption; many EVs need no DC stop from full. Real consumption still depends on speed, AC, payload, and elevation — enter Wh/km from recent drives instead of brochure range.
NH16 is the east-coast highway: humidity and AC load matter as much as distance, and coastal weather can slow you into a later arrival SOC than a Deccan run of the same kilometres.
At ~165 km, a 350 km+ ARAI car starting at 90% with 20% reserve often makes Nashik with zero or one DC session. 250–320 km class cars should plan one stop and a backup. Do not copy a long-range SUV itinerary into a Tiago EV.
Local notes drivers actually use: Monsoon: allow extra time on Kasara ghat. Wine-country weekend — plan return charge in Nashik.
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 Nashik. 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: 165 km at roughly 165 Wh/km needs on the order of 27 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 165 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 NH160 / NH848 accordingly.
On NH160 / NH848 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 Nashik. 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-nashik) so badges and ranking can be updated.
