July — monsoon on Western Ghats routes
Monsoon rain on ghat roads means slower speeds and higher consumption. Pick backup chargers and avoid relying on a single gun near landslide-prone stretches.
- 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.
- Wet roads and slower traffic extend drive time — keep extra buffer SOC.
- Check highway advisories; have a backup charger picked on both sides of risky stretches.
Suggested planner settings: 30% reserve SOC · 35% search threshold · hills & weather on (includes monsoon adjustment Jun–Sep)
