Mysore to Ooty EV charging

South IndiaNilgiri hill climb — short but steep.
~130 kmNH766 / NH1814–5 typical drive

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.

May — heat on ghat sections

Hot weather plus elevation changes eat range faster than brochure figures. Use the seasonal planner preset below for safer stop spacing.

  • 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.
  • 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.

Suggested planner settings: 30% reserve SOC · 35% search threshold · hills & weather on (includes monsoon adjustment Jun–Sep)

Frequently asked questions

Mysore to Ooty in EV?
Feasible from 90%+ with careful driving; use Wh/km for ghats.
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.
