Roughly 840 km (13–14 hours) via Kolhapur, Belgaum, and Hubballi approaches.
Plan 2–3 DC stops; ghats near Goa diversion affect range if rerouted.

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
- Pune to Bangalore stops?
- 2–3 DC fast charges for typical EVs. Long-range may do 2 stops.
- One day or two?
- Two days recommended for new EV drivers; one day possible with planning.
- Vs Mumbai–Bangalore?
- Shorter from Pune — fewer total km but similar stop count.
- 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.
