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 ~110 km via NE1 / NH48, using each preset's configured range and consumption. This is not a recommendation based on price, safety, comfort, or overall vehicle quality.

MG Comet EV
~230 km range · Often no DC stop
At ~110 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 Vadodara → Ahmedabad.

Long-tail guides for NE1 / NH48 — operators, state hubs, and NH-specific EV charging notes linked to this route.
Leave Vadodara at 88–92% SOC with your real vehicle preset selected (not a random long-range SUV). For ~110 km on NE1 / NH48, EV Grids will place DC searches when estimated SOC crosses your threshold. Charge in Vadodara if below 60% SOC. NE1 is fast — watch speed-related consumption. Charge to what the next leg needs — often 80–90% — then open Google Maps with your chosen primary and backup as waypoints toward Ahmedabad.

Vadodara to Ahmedabad covers about 110 km in 2 hours on NE1 / NH48 (West India). Short Gujarat expressway hop — most EVs need no DC stop from 70%+ SOC. 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.
Vadodara → Ahmedabad is a short hop (~110 km). Most highway EVs starting above 75–80% SOC need no DC stop, but still select a backup near Ahmedabad if you left home below 60%. This is a good first test of EV Grids: plan, open Maps, ignore the urge to skip backups.
Local notes drivers actually use: Charge in Vadodara if below 60% SOC. NE1 is fast — watch speed-related consumption.
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 Vadodara 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: 110 km at roughly 165 Wh/km needs on the order of 18 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 110 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 NE1 / NH48 accordingly.
On NE1 / NH48 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 Vadodara 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 (vadodara-to-ahmedabad) so badges and ranking can be updated.
