Trip mapped at a glance. Charging stops visible, total duration predictable. Caralogy simulation at 130 km/h.
| Measure | P7i | Model 3 Standard Range Plus | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 7h28 | 7h31 | 3 min · P7i |
| Charging stops | 3 stops | 4 stops | 1 stop · P7i |
| Cost of energy used | 65.51 € | 55.20 € | 10.31 € · Model 3 Standard Range Plus |
Both vehicles drove at 130 km/h for the entire trip. The gap is built at the stops: 3 stops totalling 27 min for the P7i versus 4 stops totalling 31 min for the Model 3 Standard Range Plus.
The official WLTP figures (16,9 kWh/100km for P7i and 14,9 kWh/100km for Model 3 Standard Range Plus) 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 20,3 kWh/100km (P7i) and 15,7 kWh/100km (Model 3 Standard Range Plus). Full methodology: see the assumptions below the controls.
During the 27 minutes of charging for the P7i, range recovers by 450 km. During the 31 cumulative minutes for the Model 3 Standard Range Plus, range recovers by 520 km. Per minute, both recover at the same rate. The gap is less pronounced but accumulates over long distances.
A Peugeot 508 1.6 PureTech 180 (equivalent segment) consumes about 7,2 L/100km on the motorway at 130 km/h. At 1,9 €/L, this Paris → Marseille trip would cost ~103 €. That is 1,6× the electric cost of the P7i and 1,9× that of the Model 3 Standard Range Plus. 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 P7i arrives in 7h28 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 65.51 € (P7i) and 55.20 € (Model 3 Standard Range Plus). For reference, an equivalent Peugeot 508 1.6 PureTech 180 (~7.2 L/100 km) would cost about 103 € in fuel.
