Analysis

The 43-minute lead of the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD does not come from driving speed, but from 2 fewer charging stops on this route (2 vs 4).

Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 2 stops totalling 17 min for the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD versus 4 stops totalling 61 min for the EV6 AWD Long Range.

Motorway consumption: the Caralogy methodology

The official WLTP figures (14,8 kWh/100km for Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD and 17,2 kWh/100km for EV6 AWD Long Range) 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 17,2 kWh/100km (Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD) and 21,5 kWh/100km (EV6 AWD Long Range). Full methodology: see the dedicated button above the summary.

Recovery speed: 22,9 km/min versus 8,1 km/min

During the 17 minutes of charging for the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD, range recovers by 390 km. During the 61 cumulative minutes for the EV6 AWD Long Range, range recovers by 495 km. Per minute: the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD recovers 2,8× 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.

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

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 2,6× the electric cost of the Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD and 1,9× that of the EV6 AWD Long Range. 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 Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD arrives in 7h18 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.

Electric: 42,78 € (Model Y Juniper Long Range AWD) and 59,00 € (EV6 AWD Long Range). An equivalent petrol SUV (~8 L/100 km) would cost about 115 € in motorway fuel. Electric costs less in energy but adds charging stops.
