Trip mapped at a glance. Charging stops visible, total duration predictable. Caralogy simulation at 130 km/h.
| Measure | Leaf 40kWh ZE1 | 5 E-Tech Electric 150 | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 9h25 | 8h05 | 80 min · 5 E-Tech Electric 150 |
| Charging stops | 9 stops | 5 stops | 4 stops · 5 E-Tech Electric 150 |
| Cost of energy used | 76.79 € | 64.84 € | 11.95 € · 5 E-Tech Electric 150 |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 5 stops totalling 64 min for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 versus 9 stops totalling 144 min for the Leaf 40kWh ZE1.
The official WLTP figures (17,9 kWh/100km for Leaf 40kWh ZE1 and 14,9 kWh/100km for 5 E-Tech Electric 150) 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 19,3 kWh/100km (Leaf 40kWh ZE1) and 17,6 kWh/100km (5 E-Tech Electric 150). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 64 minutes of charging for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150, range recovers by 564 km. During the 144 cumulative minutes for the Leaf 40kWh ZE1, range recovers by 637 km. Per minute: the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 recovers 2,0× 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 Leaf 40kWh ZE1 and 1,5× that of the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. 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 5 E-Tech Electric 150 arrives in 8h05 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: 76,79 € (Leaf 40kWh ZE1) and 64,84 € (5 E-Tech Electric 150). An equivalent Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech 130 (~6,8 L/100 km) would cost about 97 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
