The 4-minute lead of the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 does not come from driving speed, but from one fewer charging stop on this route (5 vs 6).

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 6 stops totalling 68 min for the e-208 136 Phase 2.

Motorway consumption: the Caralogy methodology

The official WLTP figures (14,9 kWh/100km for 5 E-Tech Electric 150 and 15,7 kWh/100km for e-208 136 Phase 2) 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 17,6 kWh/100km (5 E-Tech Electric 150) and 18,5 kWh/100km (e-208 136 Phase 2). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.

Recovery speed: 8,8 km/min versus 8,5 km/min

During the 64 minutes of charging for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150, range recovers by 564 km. During the 68 cumulative minutes for the e-208 136 Phase 2, range recovers by 581 km. Per minute, both recover at the same rate. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.

For reference: how much would an equivalent petrol car cost?

A Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 100 (equivalent segment) consumes about 6,2 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~89 €. That is 1,4× the electric cost of the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 and 1,3× that of the e-208 136 Phase 2. The gap narrows in winter but never reverses.

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

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.

On this trip, the energy used costs 64.84 € (5 E-Tech Electric 150) and 69.48 € (e-208 136 Phase 2). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 208 1.2 PureTech 100 (~6.2 L/100 km) would cost about 89 € in fuel.
