The most powerful 208 of the second generation is an electric car. The e-208 does 136 hp and is a bit more luxurious than the combustion engines – recognizable, however, only by the missing exhaust pipes, the blue designed grill and the blue “e” emblems on each side. Get in, cockpit, gear lever, everything like in a gasoline engine. Engage gear D and the e-208 accelerates to 100 km / h in 8.1 seconds; but then the values determined in the WLTP process melt up to 362 kilometers range like ice in the sun. 260 Nm Torque make the little ones very confident, a whopping 1585 kilos of weight force the stiff suspension to one A little more comfort.
The basic version Peugeot e-208 Active starts at 31,950 euros
Three driving modes (Eco, Normal and Sport) are standard. Below D is the additional speed level B for stronger braking, the energy in the 50 kWhbattery returns. In normal mode, the Peugeot consumed fuel on our first trip, according to the on-board computer 18.8 kWh per 100 kilometers, the Renault Zoe was last more economical with 13.9 kWh. And with 31,950 euros base price the Frenchman tears a pain threshold, precisely because the largely identical Opel Corsa-e (click here for the driving report) costs less than 30,000 euros. It’s good that the purchase premium for electric cars is still missing.
Thanks to fast charging technology, the battery of the e-208 is 80 percent charged in 30 minutes.
