| Cost of energy used | 504.52 € | 81.78 € | 422.74 € · 5 Standard Range FWD |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The Cayman (combustion) makes 4 stops totalling 20 min, the 5 Standard Range FWD (electric) 6 stops totalling 109 min. Road safety reminder: on a trip of this duration, it is recommended to stop for at least 68 min total (17 min every 2h). The energy cost is 504,52 € for Cayman versus 81,78 € for 5 Standard Range FWD.
The official WLTP figures (9,7 L/100km for Cayman and 17,9 kWh/100km for 5 Standard Range FWD) 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 30,0 L/100km (Cayman) and 21,5 kWh/100km (5 Standard Range FWD). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
On a 200 km round trip (e.g. a weekend getaway), the electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle completes the entire journey on home energy at 0.20 €/kWh - with no charging stop. The time advantage of the combustion car on long-distance motorways disappears entirely, and the economic advantage of electric strengthens considerably.

The advantage comes from the combo real range + charging speed. On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the Cayman arrives in 7h21 with 4 fuel 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 504.52 € (Cayman) and 81.78 € (5 Standard Range FWD). For reference, an equivalent BMW M340i (~9.5 L/100 km) would cost about 136 € in fuel.
