Both vehicles drive at 130 km/h. The difference comes from charging stops.
Analysis
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 3 stops totalling 53 min for the I-PACE EV400 versus 5 stops totalling 80 min for the iX xDrive40.
The official WLTP figures (18,0 kWh/100km for I-PACE EV400 and 21,3 kWh/100km for iX xDrive40) 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 22,5 kWh/100km (I-PACE EV400) and 26,6 kWh/100km (iX xDrive40). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.
During the 53 minutes of charging for the I-PACE EV400, range recovers by 466 km. During the 80 cumulative minutes for the iX xDrive40, range recovers by 547 km. Per minute: the I-PACE EV400 recovers 1,3× faster. 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 1,9× the electric cost of the I-PACE EV400 and 1,5× that of the iX xDrive40. The gap narrows in winter but never reverses.
The cost per kilometre depends on the electricity rate applied to each segment — based on the energy source used at that point of the trip.

The advantage comes from the combo real range + charging speed. On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the I-PACE EV400 arrives in 7h54 with 3 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: 60,17 € (I-PACE EV400) and 76,31 € (iX xDrive40). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
