The 20-minute lead of the John Cooper Works FWD does not come from driving speed, but from 4 fewer charging stops on this route (1 vs 5).

Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 1 stop of 5 min for the John Cooper Works FWD versus 5 stops totalling 25 min for the A5 Avant.

Motorway consumption: the Caralogy methodology

The official WLTP figures (7,1 L/100km for John Cooper Works FWD and 7,6 L/100km for A5 Avant) 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 6,1 L/100km (John Cooper Works FWD) and 34,6 L/100km (A5 Avant). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.

Energy cost breakdown for your trip Paris → Marseille

Frequently asked questions

On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the John Cooper Works FWD arrives in 7h06 with 1 fuel 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.

On this trip, the energy used costs 102.59 € (John Cooper Works FWD) and 581.89 € (A5 Avant). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 100 (~6.2 L/100 km) would cost about 89 € in fuel.
