Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 4 stops totalling 44 min for the bZ4X AWD versus 5 stops totalling 64 min for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150.
The official WLTP figures (16,0 kWh/100km for bZ4X AWD 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 20,0 kWh/100km (bZ4X AWD) and 17,6 kWh/100km (5 E-Tech Electric 150). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 44 minutes of charging for the bZ4X AWD, range recovers by 517 km. During the 64 cumulative minutes for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150, range recovers by 564 km. Per minute: the bZ4X AWD recovers 1,3× faster. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.
A Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (equivalent segment) consumes about 7,8 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~112 €. That is 1,6× the electric cost of the bZ4X AWD and 1,7× 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 bZ4X AWD arrives in 7h45 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.
On this trip, the energy used costs 69.97 € (bZ4X AWD) and 64.84 € (5 E-Tech Electric 150). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (~7.8 L/100 km) would cost about 112 € in fuel.
