| Measure | 4 Standard RWD | Spring Electric 65 | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 8h39 | 11h27 | 168 min · 4 Standard RWD |
| Charging stops | 6 stops | 12 stops | 6 stops · 4 Standard RWD |
| Cost of energy used | 76.58 € | 77.25 € | 0.67 € · 4 Standard RWD |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 6 stops totalling 98 min for the 4 Standard RWD versus 12 stops totalling 266 min for the Spring Electric 65.
The official WLTP figures (17,0 kWh/100km for 4 Standard RWD 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 20,4 kWh/100km (4 Standard RWD) and 18,7 kWh/100km (Spring Electric 65). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 98 minutes of charging for the 4 Standard RWD, range recovers by 581 km. During the 266 cumulative minutes for the Spring Electric 65, range recovers by 675 km. Per minute: the 4 Standard RWD recovers 2,4× 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 308 1.2 PureTech 130 (equivalent segment) consumes about 6,8 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~97 €. That is 1,3× the electric cost of the 4 Standard RWD and 1,3× that of the Spring Electric 65. 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 4 Standard RWD arrives in 8h39 with 6 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 76.58 € (4 Standard RWD) and 77.25 € (Spring Electric 65). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech 130 (~6.8 L/100 km) would cost about 97 € in fuel.
