Cost of energy used

The 261-minute lead of the Panda 1.2 8v 69 (combustion) comes from not needing a charging stop: 1 stop of 5 min versus 12 stops totalling 266 min for the Spring Electric 65 (electric).

Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The Panda 1.2 8v 69 (combustion) makes 1 stop of 5 min, the Spring Electric 65 (electric) 12 stops totalling 266 min. Road safety reminder: on a trip of this duration, it is recommended to stop for at least 85 min total (17 min every 2h). The energy cost is 79,04 € for Panda 1.2 8v 69 versus 77,25 € for Spring Electric 65.

Motorway consumption: the Caralogy methodology

The official WLTP figures (5,5 L/100km for Panda 1.2 8v 69 and 14,6 kWh/100km for Spring Electric 65) 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 4,7 L/100km (Panda 1.2 8v 69) and 18,7 kWh/100km (Spring Electric 65). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.

What about a 200 km round trip?

On a 200 km round trip (e.g. a weekend getaway), the electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle completes the entire journey on home energy at 0.20 €/kWh - with no charging stop. The time advantage of the combustion car on long-distance motorways disappears entirely, and the economic advantage of electric strengthens considerably.

Energy cost breakdown for your trip Paris → Marseille

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.

Frequently asked questions

The advantage comes from the combo real range + charging speed. On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the Panda 1.2 8v 69 arrives in 7h06 with 1 fuel 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 79.04 € (Panda 1.2 8v 69) and 77.25 € (Spring Electric 65). For reference, an equivalent Fiat 500 1.0 Hybrid 70 (~5.8 L/100 km) would cost about 83 € in fuel.
