The 2008 is a beautifully designed, smaller SUV with typical French flair both inside and out. Its packed with luxury, comfort and safety features.

At the heart of the e-2008 is a 50 kWh lithium ion battery pack. This provides power of 100kW and torque of 260Nm.

The e-2008 has a relatively small capacity and that reflects in a WLTP range of only 328km. Range is obviously a subjective thing. It differs with driving styles and road conditions.

It also depends on perspective. If you only drive 50km a day and charge the car every few days, then its sufficient. If you want to do a longer drive of 600 or 700km then its problematic.

One good thing about the e-2008 is that PEUGEOT states that you can fast charge the battery all the time with no degradation. Many other brands don’t recommend that.

Driving the e-2008 was pleasant and engaging, on a drive through city traffic to Akuna Bay the national park.

Its relatively light weight, and with the weight down low the ride and handling were crisp and responsive. Electric cars provide instant torque and that also makes for a sporty drive.

One thing I liked was that PEUGEOT are offering a five year discounted service plan of only $1000. That’s an awesome deal and a reminder that electric cars still need regular servicing.

Peugeot e-2008  Final thoughts

Peugeot build quality and interesting cars.

The 2008 is an elegant, stylish and slightly quirky smaller SUV.

The electric version e-2008 brings an all electric choice for buyers.

Ideal as a city runaround. Its relatively light for an EV and while it has a smaller battery capacity and range, the ability to fast charge every time without battery damage is a bonus.

The range may be an issue, but range is subjective. People will buy the Peugeot for its looks, style and quality and the range is accepted.

The fixed and pre paid service deal is also a bonus.

If you have to go EV this is a good way to go. Peugeot is for buyers that want something just a little different.

The PHEV offers drivers 165kW of power resulting from a 133kW PureTech engine combined with an 81kW electric motor. Torque is measured at 360Nm.

There is enough electric only range for many daily drives at 55km (WLTP) with an 11.8kWh battery capacity. We got 42-45 km in real life. It’s like the ADR fuel figures for petrol cars, no one gets near the official figures.

In electric mode the driving style is like all electric cars with engine and regenerative braking

Peugeot’s e-SAVE function allows the driver to save or regenerate all or part of the battery to be used at their discretion throughout the journey.

Like the petrol 508 GT the PHEV comes well equipped with both comfort, safety and luxury features. It also happens to come wrapped in one of the most stylish designs on the market today.

Charging at home is convenient but does take some time, fast charger are the go.

Like all PHEV vehicles my biggest gripe is the price premium. The 508 GT PHEV is priced from $81,610 plus the usual costs and that’s a premium of some $16,000. That buys a lot of petrol
