The 6-minute lead of the Megane E-Tech Electric does not come from driving speed, but from shorter stops on this route (29 min vs 35 min).

Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 2 stops totalling 29 min for the Megane E-Tech Electric versus 2 stops totalling 35 min for the MONA M03.

Motorway consumption: the Caralogy methodology

The official WLTP figures (15,8 kWh/100km for Megane E-Tech Electric and 10,0 kWh/100km for MONA M03) 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 13,8 kWh/100km (Megane E-Tech Electric) and 12,0 kWh/100km (MONA M03). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.

Recovery speed: 14,3 km/min versus 10,6 km/min

During the 29 minutes of charging for the Megane E-Tech Electric, range recovers by 414 km. During the 35 cumulative minutes for the MONA M03, range recovers by 370 km. Per minute: the Megane E-Tech Electric recovers 1,4× faster. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.

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

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 2,3× the electric cost of the Megane E-Tech Electric and 2,8× that of the MONA M03. 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 Megane E-Tech Electric arrives in 7h30 with 2 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 42.58 € (Megane E-Tech Electric) and 34.93 € (MONA M03). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 308 1.2 PureTech 130 (~6.8 L/100 km) would cost about 97 € in fuel.
