Analysis

The 5-minute lead of the 120d F20LCI does not come from driving speed, but from one fewer charging stop on this route (0 vs 1).

Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: no stop for the 120d F20LCI versus 1 stop of 5 min for the Cooper S FWD.

Motorway consumption: the Caralogy methodology

The official WLTP figures (6,6 L/100km for Cooper S FWD and 4,7 L/100km for 120d F20LCI) 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 5,7 L/100km (Cooper S FWD) and 4,3 L/100km (120d F20LCI). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.

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

On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the 120d F20LCI arrives in 7h01 with 0 stop.

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: 89,81 € (Cooper S FWD) and 67,75 € (120d F20LCI). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
