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: 5 stops totalling 87 min for the 5 Long Range FWD versus 4 stops totalling 91 min for the e:Ny1.
The official WLTP figures (17,5 kWh/100km for 5 Long Range FWD and 16,4 kWh/100km for e:Ny1) 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 21,0 kWh/100km (5 Long Range FWD) and 20,5 kWh/100km (e:Ny1). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.
During the 87 minutes of charging for the 5 Long Range FWD, range recovers by 559 km. During the 91 cumulative minutes for the e:Ny1, range recovers by 533 km. Per minute: the 5 Long Range FWD 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 1,3× the electric cost of the 5 Long Range FWD and 1,3× that of the e:Ny1. 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 5 Long Range FWD arrives in 8h28 with 5 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: 76,99 € (5 Long Range FWD) and 73,05 € (e:Ny1). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
