Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 2 stops totalling 10 min for the 225xe F44 versus 7 stops totalling 119 min for the i3s I01.
The official WLTP figures (17,9 kWh/100km for 225xe F44 and 14,6 kWh/100km for i3s I01) 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 9,1 L/100km (225xe F44) and 17,5 kWh/100km (i3s I01). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
A Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech 130 (equivalent segment) consumes about 6,8 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~97 €. That is 0,7× the electric cost of the 225xe F44 and 1,4× that of the i3s I01. 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 225xe F44 arrives in 7h11 with 2 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.
On this trip, the energy used costs 144.19 € (225xe F44) and 67.83 € (i3s I01). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech 130 (~6.8 L/100 km) would cost about 97 € in fuel.
