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: 4 stops totalling 58 min for the e-208 156 Phase 2 versus 9 stops totalling 144 min for the Leaf 40kWh ZE1.
The official WLTP figures (14,2 kWh/100km for e-208 156 Phase 2 and 17,9 kWh/100km for Leaf 40kWh ZE1) 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 16,8 kWh/100km (e-208 156 Phase 2) and 19,3 kWh/100km (Leaf 40kWh ZE1). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.
During the 58 minutes of charging for the e-208 156 Phase 2, range recovers by 530 km. During the 144 cumulative minutes for the Leaf 40kWh ZE1, range recovers by 637 km. Per minute: the e-208 156 Phase 2 recovers 2,1× 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 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 1,9× the electric cost of the e-208 156 Phase 2 and 1,5× that of the Leaf 40kWh ZE1. 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 e-208 156 Phase 2 arrives in 7h59 with 4 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: 47,42 € (e-208 156 Phase 2) and 59,53 € (Leaf 40kWh ZE1). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
