Now there nothing special about going from Faridabad to Jaipur. The distance is 260-280 kms (depending on route taken) and can be easily covered by Nexon EV Max.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended route and the fast charging options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/1_62.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>So then what is the catch? The catch is that there is a new expressway &#8211; Delhi Mumbai expressway to Jaipur and there is connector to it from Faridabad making it an ideal route to go to Jaipur. Expressways and current Indian EVs are not a good match. With the problem statement set, how to get around it?<\/p>\n<p>You will be thinking here is another hypermiling in an EV story. Na, it is not. Below is how I tackled it:<\/p>\n<p>Now, we started after breakfast at 9:30 AM as the previous day was Diwali Day. Now you get on to the connector to DME, the speed limit allowed is 100 kmph. So I targeted 90 kmph which is decent as per the highway. The challenge comes the moment you get on to DME, the speed limit is 120 kmph. Now I chose to start off at 90 kmph, it is slow for expressway standards but I wanted to be cautious. As the time progressed and I was content with the discharge I drove at 100 as well for some time. Reached the lunch stop on Dausa &#8211; Jaipur highway with 14% SOC left, charged to 39% while having lunch and then moved on to the hotel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result<\/strong> &#8211; Covered 281 kms in 104% SOC. 5 hrs including 1 hr lunch stop<\/p>\n<p>While coming back, we left Jaipur at 2 PM and thought that we will have lunch after entering the expressway which takes around an hour to reach. We reached the rest stop with 73% SOC left, so charged to 90% while having lunch. With previous day&#8217;s experience under the belt kept speed at 100 kmph for most of the expressway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result<\/strong> &#8211; Covered 286 kms in 106% SOC. Travel time &#8211; 4.5 hrs including 30 min lunch stop<\/p>\n<p>Total trip was 601 kms &#8211; I spent Rs 1310 (Rs 1030 on commercial charging and Rs. 280 on home charging). That makes it Rs 2.1 per km of running cost. I didn&#8217;t need a fast charger to charge my car to 100% because Fairmont had a Sunfuel type 2 charger setup, I charged my car to 100% overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Used cruise control through out on the expressway and as much as possible on the highway. I have attached the zconnect graphs for both the drives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learning<\/strong> &#8211; I can drive my car at 100 kmph, if there are ample charging options within 200-220 kms of the starting point.<\/p>\n<p>Discharge curve and speed graph &#8211; Faridabad to Jaipur<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/2_62.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/3_64.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>Read BHPian comments for more insights and information. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/600-km-roadtrip-my-nexon-ev-max-some-crucial-lessons-learnt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Used cruise control through out on the expressway and as much as possible on the highway.
