| Total time | 8h17 | 8h09 | 8 min · Born |
| Charging stops | 4 stops | 5 stops | 1 stop · A290 GT 160kW |
| Cost of energy used | 58.73 € | 69.63 € | 10.90 € · A290 GT 160kW |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 5 stops totalling 68 min for the Born versus 4 stops totalling 76 min for the A290 GT 160kW.
The official WLTP figures (15,3 kWh/100km for A290 GT 160kW and 15,8 kWh/100km for Born) are measured on a mixed cycle averaging ~46 km/h. At a steady 130 km/h, aerodynamic drag weighs much more heavily - it grows with the square of speed. Caralogy calculates a motorway consumption specific to each vehicle based on its aerodynamic profile (SCx), weight and power curve - not a uniform correction factor. For this trip, the simulation yields 16,5 kWh/100km (A290 GT 160kW) and 19,0 kWh/100km (Born). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.
During the 68 minutes of charging for the Born, range recovers by 559 km. During the 76 cumulative minutes for the A290 GT 160kW, range recovers by 532 km. Per minute: the Born recovers 1,2× faster. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.
A Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 100 (equivalent segment) consumes about 6,2 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~89 €. That is 1,5× the electric cost of the A290 GT 160kW and 1,3× that of the Born. The gap narrows in winter but never reverses.

The advantage comes from the combo real range + charging speed. On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the Born arrives in 8h09 with 5 charging stops.
WLTP consumption does not reflect motorway reality. Aerodynamic drag grows with the square of speed, so real consumption is 15 to 25 % higher than WLTP combined. Caralogy calculates a highway consumption specific to each vehicle based on its aerodynamic profile (SCx), weight and power curve.
Total time = driving time + charging time. Driving time is calculated at an average speed of 130 km/h on the motorway (adjustable). Charging time is calculated based on the real power curve of each vehicle, respecting the optimal 10 → 80 % range and the maximum power accepted by the chargers on the route.
No. The displayed cost covers only the energy consumed during the trip: kWh × energy rate, with a mix of home charging and DC fast chargers. Battery wear is a long-term ownership cost, not a trip cost.
Electric: 58,73 € (A290 GT 160kW) and 69,63 € (Born). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
