Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 3 stops totalling 62 min for the Atto 3 Extended Range versus 4 stops totalling 71 min for the 4 Trophy AWD.
The official WLTP figures (16,5 kWh/100km for 4 Trophy AWD and 15,5 kWh/100km for Atto 3 Extended 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 19,8 kWh/100km (4 Trophy AWD) and 16,7 kWh/100km (Atto 3 Extended Range). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 62 minutes of charging for the Atto 3 Extended Range, range recovers by 490 km. During the 71 cumulative minutes for the 4 Trophy AWD, range recovers by 523 km. Per minute: the Atto 3 Extended Range recovers 1,1× faster. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.
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 1,4× the electric cost of the 4 Trophy AWD and 1,7× that of the Atto 3 Extended Range. 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 Atto 3 Extended Range arrives in 8h03 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 69.76 € (4 Trophy AWD) and 56.60 € (Atto 3 Extended Range). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech 130 (~6.8 L/100 km) would cost about 97 € in fuel.
