The 6-minute lead of the EV6 RWD Long Range does not come from driving speed, but from one fewer charging stop on this route (3 vs 4).

Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 3 stops totalling 59 min for the EV6 RWD Long Range versus 4 stops totalling 65 min for the Mustang Mach-E RWD.

Motorway consumption: the Caralogy methodology

The official WLTP figures (17,0 kWh/100km for Mustang Mach-E RWD and 16,5 kWh/100km for EV6 RWD Long Range) 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 21,3 kWh/100km (Mustang Mach-E RWD) and 20,6 kWh/100km (EV6 RWD Long Range). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.

Recovery speed: 8,2 km/min versus 7,8 km/min

During the 59 minutes of charging for the EV6 RWD Long Range, range recovers by 483 km. During the 65 cumulative minutes for the Mustang Mach-E RWD, range recovers by 507 km. Per minute: the EV6 RWD Long Range recovers 1,1× faster. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.

For reference: how much would an equivalent petrol car cost?

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 1,5× the electric cost of the Mustang Mach-E RWD and 1,6× that of the EV6 RWD Long Range. The gap narrows in winter but never reverses.

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 EV6 RWD Long Range arrives in 8h 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.

On this trip, the energy used costs 73.62 € (Mustang Mach-E RWD) and 69.27 € (EV6 RWD Long Range). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (~7.8 L/100 km) would cost about 112 € in fuel.
