Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 5 stops totalling 36 min for the Taycan Turbo S versus 5 stops totalling 68 min for the Born.
The official WLTP figures (24,3 kWh/100km for Taycan Turbo S and 15,8 kWh/100km for Born) 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 28,3 kWh/100km (Taycan Turbo S) and 19,0 kWh/100km (Born). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 36 minutes of charging for the Taycan Turbo S, range recovers by 539 km. During the 68 cumulative minutes for the Born, range recovers by 559 km. Per minute: the Taycan Turbo S recovers 1,8× faster. At this rate, the charging stop blends into the trip rhythm - just enough time for a coffee. At a lower rate, it dictates the pace.
A BMW 530i (equivalent segment) consumes about 8,0 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~115 €. That is 1,1× the electric cost of the Taycan Turbo S and 1,7× that of the Born. 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 Taycan Turbo S arrives in 7h36 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 101.47 € (Taycan Turbo S) and 69.63 € (Born). For reference, an equivalent BMW 530i (~8.0 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in fuel.
