Trip mapped at a glance. Charging stops visible, total duration predictable. Caralogy simulation at 130 km/h.

| Charging stops | 3 stops | 4 stops | 1 stop · P7 |
| Cost of energy used | 68.98 € | 494.43 € | 425.45 € · P7 |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The S3 Sedan (combustion) makes 4 stops totalling 20 min, the P7 (electric) 3 stops totalling 80 min. Road safety reminder: on a trip of this duration, it is recommended to stop for at least 68 min total (17 min every 2h). The energy cost is 68,98 € for P7 versus 494,43 € for S3 Sedan.
The official WLTP figures (17,2 kWh/100km for P7 and 8,4 L/100km for S3 Sedan) 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 20,6 kWh/100km (P7) and 29,4 L/100km (S3 Sedan). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
On a 200 km round trip (e.g. a weekend getaway), the electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle completes the entire journey on home energy at 0.20 €/kWh - with no charging stop. The time advantage of the combustion car on long-distance motorways disappears entirely, and the economic advantage of electric strengthens considerably.

The advantage comes from the combo real range + charging speed. On Paris → Marseille (775 km at 130 km/h), the S3 Sedan arrives in 7h21 with 4 fuel 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 68.98 € (P7) and 494.43 € (S3 Sedan). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 508 1.6 PureTech 180 (~7.2 L/100 km) would cost about 103 € in fuel.
