Trip mapped at a glance. Charging stops visible, total duration predictable. Caralogy simulation at 130 km/h.
| Measure | 530i G30 | A6 Sedan | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 7h01 | 7h26 | 25 min · 530i G30 |
| Charging stops | 0 stops | 5 stops | 5 stops · 530i G30 |
| Cost of energy used | 83.51 € | 537.27 € | 453.76 € · 530i G30 |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: no stop for the 530i G30 versus 5 stops totalling 25 min for the A6 Sedan.
The official WLTP figures (6,1 L/100km for 530i G30 and 7,8 L/100km for A6 Sedan) 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 5,3 L/100km (530i G30) and 34,1 L/100km (A6 Sedan). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.

On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the 530i G30 arrives in 7h01 with 0 stop.
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: 83,51 € (530i G30) and 537,27 € (A6 Sedan). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
