Both vehicles drive at 130 km/h. The difference comes from charging stops.
Analysis
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 3 stops totalling 38 min for the E-3008 210 versus 3 stops totalling 59 min for the EV6 RWD Long Range.
The official WLTP figures (16,5 kWh/100km for EV6 RWD Long Range and 15,9 kWh/100km for E-3008 210) 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 20,6 kWh/100km (EV6 RWD Long Range) and 19,9 kWh/100km (E-3008 210). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.
During the 38 minutes of charging for the E-3008 210, range recovers by 474 km. During the 59 cumulative minutes for the EV6 RWD Long Range, range recovers by 483 km. Per minute: the E-3008 210 recovers 1,5× 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 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 2,0× the electric cost of the EV6 RWD Long Range and 2,1× that of the E-3008 210. The gap narrows in winter but never reverses.
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.

The advantage comes from the combo real range + charging speed. On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the E-3008 210 arrives in 7h39 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.
Electric: 55,95 € (EV6 RWD Long Range) and 53,55 € (E-3008 210). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
