Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 5 stops totalling 49 min for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 versus 3 stops totalling 54 min for the Dolphin Boost 150kW.
The official WLTP figures (14,5 kWh/100km for Dolphin Boost 150kW and 16,3 kWh/100km for Scenic E-Tech Electric 170) 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 15,7 kWh/100km (Dolphin Boost 150kW) and 20,4 kWh/100km (Scenic E-Tech Electric 170). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 49 minutes of charging for the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170, range recovers by 561 km. During the 54 cumulative minutes for the Dolphin Boost 150kW, range recovers by 470 km. Per minute: the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 recovers 1,3× faster. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.
A Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 100 (equivalent segment) consumes about 6,2 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~89 €. That is 1,7× the electric cost of the Dolphin Boost 150kW and 1,2× that of the Scenic E-Tech Electric 170. 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 Scenic E-Tech Electric 170 arrives in 7h50 with 5 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.
On this trip, the energy used costs 51.95 € (Dolphin Boost 150kW) and 74.95 € (Scenic E-Tech Electric 170). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 100 (~6.2 L/100 km) would cost about 89 € in fuel.
