Trip mapped at a glance. Charging stops visible, total duration predictable. Caralogy simulation at 130 km/h.
| Measure | Model X Long Range | i5 eDrive40 G60 | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 7h22 | 7h22 | Less than a minute apart |
| Charging stops | 2 stops | 2 stops | Same |
| Cost of energy used | 63.38 € | 49.80 € | 13.58 € · i5 eDrive40 G60 |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 2 stops totalling 21 min for the Model X Long Range versus 2 stops totalling 21 min for the i5 eDrive40 G60.
The official WLTP figures (22,6 kWh/100km for Model X Long Range and 18,0 kWh/100km for i5 eDrive40 G60) 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 21,4 kWh/100km (Model X Long Range) and 16,5 kWh/100km (i5 eDrive40 G60). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 21 minutes of charging for the Model X Long Range, range recovers by 383 km. During the 21 cumulative minutes for the i5 eDrive40 G60, range recovers by 397 km. Per minute, both recover at the same rate. 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 1,8× the electric cost of the Model X Long Range and 2,2× that of the i5 eDrive40 G60. 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 Model X Long Range arrives in 7h22 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 63.38 € (Model X Long Range) and 49.80 € (i5 eDrive40 G60). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (~7.8 L/100 km) would cost about 112 € in fuel.
