|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 7h11 | 7h06 | 5 min · 530e G30 |
| Charging stops | 2 stops | 1 stop | 1 stop · 530e G30 |
| Cost of energy used | 169.23 € | 147.89 € | 21.34 € · 530e G30 |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 1 stop of 5 min for the 530e G30 versus 2 stops totalling 10 min for the 330e xDrive G20.
The official WLTP figures (15,9 kWh/100km for 330e xDrive G20 and 14,8 kWh/100km for 530e G30) 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 10,7 L/100km (330e xDrive G20) and 9,4 L/100km (530e G30). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
A Peugeot 508 1.6 PureTech 180 (equivalent segment) consumes about 7,2 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~103 €. That is 0,6× the electric cost of the 330e xDrive G20 and 0,7× that of the 530e G30. The gap narrows in winter but never reverses.

On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the 530e G30 arrives in 7h06 with 1 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.
On this trip, the energy used costs 169.23 € (330e xDrive G20) and 147.89 € (530e G30). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 508 1.6 PureTech 180 (~7.2 L/100 km) would cost about 103 € in fuel.
