EV Gulf Index

Real range in Gulf heat

Factory numbers come from a cool lab. This index estimates — with a published method — how much of each car's rated range survives a 45–50°C Gulf day, and shows real owner-measured numbers wherever they exist.

The method — in full transparency

1) Real-world baseline: We start from a vetted Gulf real-world range where we have one; otherwise we discount the optimistic official (CLTC/NEDC) rating by 18%.
2) Heat model: We apply the same published Heat Index model at 45°C (bounds: 48°C max-AC highway and 40°C mixed) to produce a summer range BAND — never a single fake-precise number.
3) Heat Score (0–100): The expected % of the official rating that survives a typical summer day. A car with an inflated official number scores lower — fairly.
4) Field verification: Once 3+ real owner tests exist (never any demo data), we show the measured median next to our estimate — and the model becomes "field-verified".

The index covers pure EVs only — range-extenders and plug-in hybrids are excluded because a petrol backstop makes "range surviving the heat" a non-issue for them. Every number carries its source and confidence tier; estimates are modeled and vary by driving and battery age — field-verified figures are the most accurate.
