| Cost of energy used | 65.82 € | 59.02 € | 6.80 € · Model Y Performance |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 2 stops totalling 21 min for the SQ6 Sportback e-tron versus 2 stops totalling 21 min for the Model Y Performance.
The official WLTP figures (17,2 kWh/100km for SQ6 Sportback e-tron and 17,1 kWh/100km for Model Y Performance) 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 21,5 kWh/100km (SQ6 Sportback e-tron) and 19,0 kWh/100km (Model Y Performance). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 21 minutes of charging for the SQ6 Sportback e-tron, range recovers by 408 km. During the 21 cumulative minutes for the Model Y Performance, range recovers by 418 km. Per minute, both recover at the same rate. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.
A Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (equivalent segment) consumes about 7,8 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~112 €. That is 1,7× the electric cost of the SQ6 Sportback e-tron and 1,9× that of the Model Y Performance. 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 SQ6 Sportback e-tron arrives in 7h22 with 2 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: 65,82 € (SQ6 Sportback e-tron) and 59,02 € (Model Y Performance). An equivalent Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (~7,8 L/100 km) would cost about 112 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
