The 21-minute lead of the I-PACE EV400 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 53 min for the I-PACE EV400 versus 4 stops totalling 74 min for the ZS EV Long Range FWD.

Motorway consumption: the Caralogy methodology

The official WLTP figures (18,0 kWh/100km for I-PACE EV400 and 17,8 kWh/100km for ZS EV Long Range FWD) 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 22,3 kWh/100km (ZS EV Long Range FWD). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.

Recovery speed: 8,8 km/min versus 7,1 km/min

During the 53 minutes of charging for the I-PACE EV400, range recovers by 466 km. During the 74 cumulative minutes for the ZS EV Long Range FWD, range recovers by 528 km. Per minute: the I-PACE EV400 recovers 1,2× 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 I-PACE EV400 and 1,4× that of the ZS EV Long Range FWD. 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 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.

On this trip, the energy used costs 74.14 € (I-PACE EV400) and 78.88 € (ZS EV Long Range FWD). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (~7.8 L/100 km) would cost about 112 € in fuel.
