How this works
We model battery drain using three factors: base rolling resistance (distance × weight), gravity work (elevation gain × weight × 5.5 Wh/m per tonne), and grade penalty (steeper roads increase rolling drag). Descents recover ~30% of potential energy via regenerative braking where available. This is a planning estimate — actual drain varies with driving style, speed, and auxiliary loads.
