| Total time | 7h52 | 8h13 | 21 min · ID.5 GTX |

| Cost of energy used | 72.84 € | 83.80 € | 10.96 € · ID.5 GTX |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 3 stops totalling 51 min for the ID.5 GTX versus 4 stops totalling 72 min for the iX3 G08.
The official WLTP figures (17,3 kWh/100km for ID.5 GTX and 19,0 kWh/100km for iX3 G08) 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 21,6 kWh/100km (ID.5 GTX) and 23,7 kWh/100km (iX3 G08). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 51 minutes of charging for the ID.5 GTX, range recovers by 485 km. During the 72 cumulative minutes for the iX3 G08, range recovers by 526 km. Per minute: the ID.5 GTX 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 1,5× the electric cost of the ID.5 GTX and 1,3× that of the iX3 G08. 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 ID.5 GTX arrives in 7h52 with 3 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 72.84 € (ID.5 GTX) and 83.80 € (iX3 G08). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 3008 1.2 PureTech 130 (~7.8 L/100 km) would cost about 112 € in fuel.
