Range, Scenarios & Charging
Route Planner & Charging Stations
Search any city, adjust trailer configuration, temperature and speed, and add a destination to see if the route fits within range. Charging stations are shown on the map.
Charging Explained
From wall socket to megawatt — the physics of power, connector standards, and exactly how many kilometres each minute of charging buys you.
Step 1 — How power is calculated
Step 2 — How power converts to range
Range formula: km = (kW × hours) ÷ 1.05 kWh/km. Based on Windrose Gen 2 at standard load, 80 km/h. The 1.05 kWh/km figure changes with speed, temperature, and trailer weight.

From November 2024 to November 2025 a Windrose E700 hauled steel coil for a major Australian logistics fleet — mostly in B‑Double configuration (prime mover + two trailers, 9 axles) at up to 68 t GCM, laden outbound and empty return. Every figure below was measured on public roads, including the sustained ~14% grades of Mt Ousley (NSW). Results are grouped by driving condition; implied range is shown on a 705 kWh energy basis.
Two trial areas: ① Victoria (Western Port → Melbourne & Geelong) · ② New South Wales (Port Kembla → Sydney over Mt Ousley)
Each point is one measured leg · hover for route detail
705 kWh ÷ measured kWh/km · theoretical to 0% state of charge
| Date | Leg | Location | GCM (t) | kWh/km | Range @705 kWh (km) | Grade / conditions |
|---|
Implied range = 705 kWh ÷ measured consumption, extrapolated to 0% SOC; operational planning should apply a state-of-charge floor. Consumption measured on-vehicle. 1 Jul 2025 legs were run in heavy rain with 33–52 km/h winds. B‑Double = prime mover + two trailers (3‑3 axle groups, 9 axles total). Mt Ousley climb segments are short, steep sub-sections of the Port Kembla → Sydney legs and are also included within their parent-leg averages.
From Q3 2023 Windrose and KLN Kerry Logistics have run joint road tests of Windrose zero-emission heavy trucks in Kerry's China operations. The flagship 2024 round-trip ran 1,191 km between Kerry's Beijing (通州马驹桥) and Kunshan (淀山湖) distribution hubs in three/four en-route charging segments — every one of them measured on public expressways with on-vehicle telemetry. Regional Kerry hub routes (Jinan, Nanjing, Qiandeng) and Goodman (嘉民) 50 t counterweight stress runs complete the programme.

Implied range = 705 kWh ÷ measured consumption, extrapolated to 0% SOC; operational planning should apply a state-of-charge floor. All figures measured on-vehicle on the Chinese expressway network (G2 / G15 / G2503 / provincial motorways). Beijing–Kunshan flagship round-trip (Oct 2024): 1,191 km outbound at 29 t (2 charging segments, ¥914.62) and 1,174 km return at 27 t (3 charging segments, ¥713.86) — vehicle 沪A91976D (EP2-5). Regional legs (EP2-2): Qiandeng Kerry → Jinan Kerry (31 t counterweight, 4 segments) and Jinan Kerry → Nanjing Weishitong (26 t computers, 2 segments). Counterweight-sandbag legs (50 t) reflect the WH11 LFP stress envelope.
