Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 2 stops totalling 19 min for the Model Y Long Range AWD versus 6 stops totalling 100 min for the i3 I01.
The official WLTP figures (16,9 kWh/100km for Model Y Long Range AWD and 13,1 kWh/100km for i3 I01) 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 18,1 kWh/100km (Model Y Long Range AWD) and 15,5 kWh/100km (i3 I01). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 19 minutes of charging for the Model Y Long Range AWD, range recovers by 395 km. During the 100 cumulative minutes for the i3 I01, range recovers by 583 km. Per minute: the Model Y Long Range AWD recovers 3,6× 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.
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 2,1× the electric cost of the Model Y Long Range AWD and 1,9× that of the i3 I01. 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 Y Long Range AWD arrives in 7h19 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 54.42 € (Model Y Long Range AWD) and 58.24 € (i3 I01). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (~7.8 L/100 km) would cost about 112 € in fuel.
