I’ve had the e-208 GT for about a month now and I can say I LOVE the car! This is my first EV and I am really impressed. This car is the whole package for most people.
I am in love with my e208 GT. Usable range is working out about 150 miles. The car tells me its doing 4.2 miles per KwH so theoretically it might do 210 miles, but I got too much range anxiety to run it down to 1%. My range anxiety is improving tho and my doctor tells me it will improve further over time.

Some might prefer the 22kWh of the Zoe and other might prefer the 100kWh combo of the e208.
The slow charging at home is annoying though and the charging spot at a "fuel position" is not very useful. I like to drive straight into the charging spot and prefer a front charger.

Hi, as I said in my comment up there (or down below..) I drove the e-208, and I averaged 131 Wh/km. Which means, that I can match the WLTP range. To be more accurate, with this consumption, I can drive 343 km.... Greetings :)
I can understand your point of view, but have you considered that you'll probably save a bit on 'fuel' costs, and that you will save, according to Peugeot, about 3/4 of service costs? Plus, the e is BOTH said to be more engaging AND a lot more quiet..
@@paulomoniz7326 Probably true. Depends how much you drive though. A significant percentage of people don't really drive enough (e.g. retired people who drive a couple of 1000 miles a year) to ever make up the addition several thousand price tag and I don't think EV enthusiasts are honest enough about this. They tend to not really mention it. If you drive 2000 miles a month though it's going to be worth it.
@@paulomoniz7326 Maybe so, but the true difference isn't going to be 10 grand, either. Plus: With an electric vehicle, you will be able to drive anywhere. More and more cities are going to ban combustion engines.
Unofficial statement from Renault... "Phew, the PSA Group only used a 50Kwh gross battery compared to our 55Kwh gross battery." 10% extra useable range and a cheaper price point makes me think the PSA group hadn't quite hit the mark.
It`s smaller - less room inside but drives better - closer to the ground and has bigger range (being smaller means lighter + closer to the ground etc. more aerodynamically efficient).
So if you live on a terrace house street and want to charge it overnight how are you going to do that. You cant exactly leave your power cable hanging out the house.
Exactly, Corsa-e is more ''traditional'' whereas the e-208 is more futuristic. Apart from the desing, in terms of quality, the e-208 has better materials than Corsa-e (I drove both)... Greetings :)
04:26 does anyone know why there is a 70 mph sign. I was sure this is filmed in the UK where above 50 we usually use the national speed limit sign (black stripe at 45 degs on white background = 60 mph single carriage way, 70 mph dual carriage way)?
be aware, had test driven the e208 and it is very very small car. I am 180 and it was very unconfutable car to drive. My leg were grinding the side wall and wheel i had to lover down quite a lot to see dash board and because of that when turning the wheel it was hitting my legs
I don't like to pay for fancy stuff. So I would prefer the Opel/Vauxhall version which is cheaper. Evenso, before I go electric, I first must save more money and in the mean time wait for better battery technology. For me, there are too many problems (winter/summer/loading/coldgate/overheating) that mess the experience up.
Had one as a demonstrator . . With a FULL CHARGE it said the range would be 125 miles . . Questioned the dealer and he said it's because of the way it's been driven. . . I did only 80 miles and there was only about 30 miles of range left . . Bloody awful!!!!
Displayed range depends on previous driving. People who tested the same car before you surely tried fast accelerations and sporty driving - obviously resulting in very high consumptions. Get one for a long enough time, drive it efficiently, and it will display a much longer range.
@@paname514 my "drive" every day and the route I tested it on is 1 mile at 30mph then 30 miles at 70mph in Devon between Honiton and Newton Abbott then 1.5 miles at 30mph. The route is fast and very hilly. EV's can't cope with speed or gradients :-(
When i tested a Tesla it wrote 500 km on the dashboard, after 10 minutes of driving it became 350km. Both cars are okay because they give Estimations which is based on many parameters so you can't blame them. Just like you can't blame Windows when it says 30 minutes to finish file installation then it becomes 2 hours.
@@sheldonv8 Then it is normal you get a poor efficiency :) it will be the same with any car, electric, petrol or Diesel. Fuel economy must be also very poor in the same conditions. You can't blame the car here.
@@paname514 fair comment but I get 55mpg from my Octavia VRS which is MORE than Skoda say it should do. I even get 57mpg from my old Volvo C70 which is 12mpg more than its supposed to do!!!!
1.What cost the battery ??????? What cost the charger if it is going bad? Can it be repair it ??? I think they miss the point on the electric car questions here. Take for example Peugeot ion. The car after 8-10 years develop charger problem. Charger to change 4300 Euros because you cannot buy separately the parts to reaper it! Who would buy a car when the tire is flat and in the workshop you are told that the gearbox have to be replaced with the tire because they work together ???!!!! Everything is vin coded so you cannot buy used parts and replaced. Battery last about 15 years and cost until yet 10.000 Euros! Even if a small problem occurs with the battery you must change all the battery. So consider to give after 15 years 15.000 Euros for maintains. That’s no Green driving! This car cost more to drive than a normal gasoline car!
"Every electric car suffers from the rain and the cold". So do petrol and diesel cars by the way. The cold air should favour ICE engines but in the winter my company Transit returns a worse MPG and range than the summer and bearing in mind i have the power sapping AC on in the summer.
@@n0clu318 just realize that i commented on this last year. Too bad it doesn’t have the performance of my MINI SE. Anyway, if i am getting a new car today, it will likely be the Supra. I really don’t care too much if the Supra remain ICE or not. Just don’t make it bigger in size.
Had our e208 for just 9 days before it broke down with a traction fault. We had only driven 102 miles. The car is potentially dangerous. My wife was driving home from work when it just suddenly stopped on a 40mph road with no warning. It has been with the dealer a week now. First it was a software glitch now they are going change the motor. My advice to anyone is...DON’T BUY IT. Google it, there a lot of people having problems with this car...
So advertise 210 ish Real is 120 Thats def "worth it" If I get electric would be niro ev or e-niro or tesla (no matter which one) they are only one close to officials
I've done a test drive in this car, not impressed at all, the driver's seat has to be manually adjusted, that steering wheel is a horrible shape and the car runs out of oomph after 65 mph, did I mention that the doors are small making entry & exit difficult. Not only but also have you seen the price?? I want a lot more car for my £30,000. + the ride is crap.
In terms of its driving dynamics. They had to make some suspension changes when taking account of the added weight. Furthermore she even said that it was more engaging and mature to drive than most of its competitors. I feel like you're just hating to hate.
@@maxderay I haven't driven the e-208 yet, but I have driven enough of the multi platforms (ICE + electric options) now to know that I was absolutely right in my pessimism. The cars that have been designed as electric from the ground up are (in my opinion) vastly superior to the ICE + electric ones. And by that I mean everything from space utilization to drive feel. Hate? I guess. I just don't care for the half assed ones that have electic option tacked on with compromizes all over the place.
Does there need to be a research project before they put a roof over the charging areas? It is almost as if some body presently profiting from conventional cars and fossil fuels, does not want to encourage EV take-up? Government for example have ensured public charging prices are unlimited and instead of it being a quarter the cost per mile, I found on one trip the EV electricity cost more than fossil fuel in my Volvo 5-pot diesel V70. This is not a government that wants a move to electric. Actions not deeds. All very well announcing more ambitious plans for after you leave office, but really let’s see early steps like car selling price parity? Good vid, great car.
Range this car is terrible. Lovely looking car inside . Had this car for weekend test drive I was getting around 134 miles of total range. Not good. More range required But nice car
I was looking at getting one of these, but the range is an issue. What type of driving were you doing, and what mode did you have it in? I was hoping if it was permanently in eco mode, with fully regen braking on, I might be able to get 200 miles?
Truth is that range is terrible on ALL electric cars including Teslas. Supposedly 350 mile Telsa gets only 200 miles at brisk highway speeds, and EVEN WORSE in cold weather conditions. Checkout E for Electric channel, where host drove Tesla for few years and often got 40% less range than advertised.
@@jmiller991 hi, I was driving about 60 mph A roads on eco mode with no heater on, norm UK weather outside for this time of year . Sadly not hope getting 200 especially this time of year. Maybe better luck with Zoe.
Many people report a range as good as you would expect in this time of the year. Many people also report range improving after you've driven the car a bit - some kind of "break-in". I am not sure you drove economically. Many people like to drive this sporty car sportily and it hurts the range.
It would be much wiser to put a “UK” in the title. Or at least mention it somehow. In our country - there are NO governmental financial incentives whatsoever. Unless you count yearly tax, and free city-center parking (0.5-1€/hr). These are totally negligible. Here’s another kicker for people that want more info of what we are talking about here. This e-208 GT costs 36,000€, in our place the least expensive electric model (Active) is 31,622€. Got that? Okay, then we continue: same trim level, but petrol (Puretech 100 S&S EAT8) costs 17,000€. So, as a fellow European, living in an official EU member state country - I certainly don’t think it’s a good deal.
There's no need for a UK company, with a UK presenter, reviewing a car with a UK license plate, and discussing the price in POUNDS to specify that they're talking about the UK.
30 pounds for 100 KW that gives 160 kms (100 miles) and costs according to the charger screen 30 pounds???? 30 pounds for 100 miles is HUGE COST!!! much more than gas!!! no economy going electric?
£30/100kWh would be £15 to completely fill the (50kWh) battery from empty. Official range is around 200 miles, so £15/200 miles, not £30/100 miles. You have to remember also that most EVs leave home fully charged from a domestic supply, so the first 200 miles would cost somewhere between £4 - £7. The 5 gallons of petrol to do the same 200 miles would cost about £30.
@@markparker5585 at 1:12 it says a charge of 100KW in 20 minutes will provide 100 miles range ... i guess I missunderstood as she propably wanted to say 100KWh wich in 20 minutes would be 33KW ... this price is better
gerokatseros ah ok, if you aren’t familiar with charging an electric car I understand how it may have been a little confusing in this example. Basically, batteries don’t charge in a linear way, but on a curve. At higher states of charge, charging becomes much slower, which is why you’ll normally find 0-80% times listed, rather than 0-100%, as the last 20% can take longer than the first 80%. She is saying that the Peugeot is able to utilise rapid chargers that can supply 100kW of power, and from 0-80% (0kWh-40kWh for the e208) it will take approximately 30 minutes. You are charged by the energy supplied in kWh, the power it is supplied at (in kW) is irrelevant. So, 40kWh at 30p/kWh would have been a £12 charging fee for the 30 minute charge.
Gas and diesel are so last century technology. All electric vehicles BEVs are the future. No noise, no pollution, less fuel costs, less maintenance costs. Gas and diesel belong in a museum next to the steam engine display. They are old polluting obsolete technology.
@@theta2170 They make the best chassis, the best engines...so I don't know what you're talking about. Their logo is awesome and so is their motto "Motion & Emotion". You obviously know nothing about Peugeot. With Brits, if it ain't Ford, it ain't good, so...
forget about electric if u wanna travel with your car... not enough charging stations, and there will be likely someone charging before you can start with your car... if it becomes generalized and the charging is fast like 10 min then I might consider. Currently, this type of cars would only be for short distances / city driving The car looks gorgeous

@it'slosenotloose You can get a Leaf for less than 30k. It makes no sense for VW to bring out something even more expensive, plus the id3 is designed to be an electric while the 208 and corsa are not they're just adapted.

It's more realistic than NEDC. Ranges are however still overestimated generally speaking, especially the winter range for EVs.
David Sommen That was my view. But some of the press (not saying Vicky herself) sold it as if it was way more precise, even for ICE, as well... Cheers mate!

Hi, as I said in my comment up there (or down below..) I drove the e-208, and I averaged 131 Wh/km. Which means, that I can match the WLTP range. To be more accurate, with this consumption, I can drive 343 km....
Greetings :)
You're very obviously sat too low, this is a small hatchback not a sports car, raise the seat and the steering wheel won't be a problem.
Love the 208! The e-208 is a bit too expensive for my liking that's why I'll soon have one as a petrol
I can understand your point of view, but have you considered that you'll probably save a bit on 'fuel' costs, and that you will save, according to Peugeot, about 3/4 of service costs? Plus, the e is BOTH said to be more engaging AND a lot more quiet..
@@NisseOhlsen You aren't going to save 10k € on fuel + service costs.
You probably need more then 10 years to get your money back.
@@paulomoniz7326 Probably true. Depends how much you drive though. A significant percentage of people don't really drive enough (e.g. retired people who drive a couple of 1000 miles a year) to ever make up the addition several thousand price tag and I don't think EV enthusiasts are honest enough about this. They tend to not really mention it. If you drive 2000 miles a month though it's going to be worth it.
@@paulomoniz7326 Maybe so, but the true difference isn't going to be 10 grand, either. Plus: With an electric vehicle, you will be able to drive anywhere. More and more cities are going to ban combustion engines.
@@NisseOhlsen look no one drives into city centers. People use the subway. Parking is not allowed.
What's underneath the bonnet?
Why have you never tested the latest ioniq.
Unofficial statement from Renault... "Phew, the PSA Group only used a 50Kwh gross battery compared to our 55Kwh gross battery."
10% extra useable range and a cheaper price point makes me think the PSA group hadn't quite hit the mark.
In this video show you all about the new Peugeot E208 and E2008 electric systems ruclips.net/video/IEN6DjvehVQ/видео.html
ordered the GT back in July, stil not driven it, will come soon, really looking forward to it, id.3 wasn't what it was promised so cancelled it
Hi! Can anyone help me how to see the percentage of battery charge in this car?
Great review.
How does it compare the to e-2008?
It`s smaller - less room inside but drives better - closer to the ground and has bigger range (being smaller means lighter + closer to the ground etc. more aerodynamically efficient).
I particularly like the style
Isnt the boot 311 litres?
7:16 five doors "only". How many doors do you want?
Parabéns Peugeot Citroen , carro é maravilhoso , fará sucesso no Brasil **!
Vamos torcer para isso!!! Meu atual sonho de consumo. Será quanto que vai custar aqui?
2:42 140 miles!! turn the eco mode on, turn the heated seats off (I can see its on) and have minimum climate control on
So if you live on a terrace house street and want to charge it overnight how are you going to do that.
You cant exactly leave your power cable hanging out the house.
Public charger.
Really nice review. I just don't see anyone catching Tesla anytime soon.
@vega albin Highly, highly doubt that. All the wind is behind Tesla as the most valuable automaker in the world.
Both car and Vicky look stylish!
I compared it with the Corsa-e and thought the Corsa-e had a nicer more understated interior which looked classier.
Also a nice car, looking forward to the review!
We have different ideas about classier o.O
Corsa-e is a bit more expensive, and missing some nice equipment like ACC. I'm really torn between these two.
I ordered the Corsa-e because I've had very good experiences with my local Opel dealer.
Exactly, Corsa-e is more ''traditional'' whereas the e-208 is more futuristic. Apart from the desing, in terms of quality, the e-208 has better materials than Corsa-e (I drove both)...
Greetings :)
04:26 does anyone know why there is a 70 mph sign. I was sure this is filmed in the UK where above 50 we usually use the national speed limit sign (black stripe at 45 degs on white background = 60 mph single carriage way, 70 mph dual carriage way)?
dwftube it’s a private road they use for filming
@@BHBeckenbauer Is the same one CarWow use?
dwftube yeah I think so
It's at Millbrook I think, a private testing facility
Is it possible to choose the limit of charge like in a Tesla? 80%, 90%...
Nop, PSA group has not this feature....
Greetings :)
What price?
Google is your friend.
Probably the best looking E car on the cheaper end along with the Corsa! I Pace is probably the sexiest thing out there!
be aware, had test driven the e208 and it is very very small car. I am 180 and it was very unconfutable car to drive. My leg were grinding the side wall and wheel i had to lover down quite a lot to see dash board and because of that when turning the wheel it was hitting my legs
I don't like to pay for fancy stuff. So I would prefer the Opel/Vauxhall version which is cheaper. Evenso, before I go electric, I first must save more money and in the mean time wait for better battery technology. For me, there are too many problems (winter/summer/loading/coldgate/overheating) that mess the experience up.
Had one as a demonstrator . . With a FULL CHARGE it said the range would be 125 miles . . Questioned the dealer and he said it's because of the way it's been driven. . . I did only 80 miles and there was only about 30 miles of range left . . Bloody awful!!!!
Displayed range depends on previous driving. People who tested the same car before you surely tried fast accelerations and sporty driving - obviously resulting in very high consumptions. Get one for a long enough time, drive it efficiently, and it will display a much longer range.
@@paname514 my "drive" every day and the route I tested it on is 1 mile at 30mph then 30 miles at 70mph in Devon between Honiton and Newton Abbott then 1.5 miles at 30mph. The route is fast and very hilly. EV's can't cope with speed or gradients :-(
When i tested a Tesla it wrote 500 km on the dashboard, after 10 minutes of driving it became 350km. Both cars are okay because they give Estimations which is based on many parameters so you can't blame them. Just like you can't blame Windows when it says 30 minutes to finish file installation then it becomes 2 hours.
@@sheldonv8 Then it is normal you get a poor efficiency :) it will be the same with any car, electric, petrol or Diesel. Fuel economy must be also very poor in the same conditions. You can't blame the car here.
@@paname514 fair comment but I get 55mpg from my Octavia VRS which is MORE than Skoda say it should do. I even get 57mpg from my old Volvo C70 which is 12mpg more than its supposed to do!!!!
I can't believe its raining there'

For the UK Peugeot give a free umbrella with every GT version & six months of psychiatric support while at Ecotricity or Ionity chargers.
What is that song playing in the background? Anyone?
So you pay 30k for very small, not comfortable car, with 120 range
thats.. thats smart
Tesla is so ahead
Peugeot design beats the Germans hands down especially the 3008 ...woow
Sexy looking electric car for the masses, but why does Peugeot insist on the very small steering wheel?
1.What cost the battery ??????? What cost the charger if it is going bad? Can it be repair it ??? I think they miss the point on the electric car questions here. Take for example Peugeot ion. The car after 8-10 years develop charger problem. Charger to change 4300 Euros because you cannot buy separately the parts to reaper it! Who would buy a car when the tire is flat and in the workshop you are told that the gearbox have to be replaced with the tire because they work together ???!!!! Everything is vin coded so you cannot buy used parts and replaced. Battery last about 15 years and cost until yet 10.000 Euros! Even if a small problem occurs with the battery you must change all the battery. So consider to give after 15 years 15.000 Euros for maintains. That’s no Green driving! This car cost more to drive than a normal gasoline car!
Are not dangerous electric cars in rain country? 🙄
No!!
@Cornel Con
You realise we do also have electric locomotives in rainy Britain? 🇬🇧
Peugeot please take note, the small steering wheel - it's NOT a winner.
Its rivals aren't as fast? the new Zoe comes with 110 or 136 bhp and has more range... And is cheaper! Good research Driving Electric 👍😅
According to EV-database the Zoe R135 does 0-62mph in 9.5 seconds compared to 8.1 seconds in the e-208. But yes, the Zoe has greater range.
"Every electric car suffers from the rain and the cold". So do petrol and diesel cars by the way. The cold air should favour ICE engines but in the winter my company Transit returns a worse MPG and range than the summer and bearing in mind i have the power sapping AC on in the summer.
My 208 1.6 e-HDi barely gets 60mpg in winter, but easily gets mid-to-high 60s in warmer weather, so around 10% improvement.
The other thing is how many ICE vehicles get the economy that is stated.
Kia don't seem to suffer from the same disparity between truth and fiction though do they?
@@stepheng8779 No they don't or if they do there's very little in it. Be interesting to see if the ICE version gets economy figures they state.
It's the UK it rains 70% of the time why don't charging stations all have atleast a small cover?
No it doesn't. Why exaggerate?
another nice EV. Would love it if the exterior is more modern though
I agree, especially the structure, which hasn't had much changes
@@n0clu318 just realize that i commented on this last year. Too bad it doesn’t have the performance of my MINI SE. Anyway, if i am getting a new car today, it will likely be the Supra. I really don’t care too much if the Supra remain ICE or not. Just don’t make it bigger in size.
What Nissan Leaf is cheaper in my country...
All transportation will go electric. It is just better.
Look to me like Peugeot's sales man
Just like the majority of the you tubers
Had our e208 for just 9 days before it broke down with a traction fault. We had only driven 102 miles. The car is potentially dangerous. My wife was driving home from work when it just suddenly stopped on a 40mph road with no warning. It has been with the dealer a week now. First it was a software glitch now they are going change the motor. My advice to anyone is...DON’T BUY IT. Google it, there a lot of people having problems with this car...
love how the back looks.
but much too agressive front. in a few years, when the trend shifts, the front will be way way too much.
So advertise 210 ish
Real is 120
Thats def "worth it"
If I get electric would be niro ev or e-niro or tesla (no matter which one) they are only one close to officials
Until this video I thought the charging in car parks was free!?
They are
WTF where's Matt?
You want efficiency in cold and wet? Get Tesla. Job done.
I've done a test drive in this car, not impressed at all, the driver's seat has to be manually adjusted, that steering wheel is a horrible shape and the car runs out of oomph after 65 mph, did I mention that the doors are small making entry & exit difficult. Not only but also have you seen the price?? I want a lot more car for my £30,000. + the ride is crap.
Looks good but a bit too boy racer for my liking.
Nice mummsy vibes
this is the electric I'd get
"Exactly like the petrol or diesel to drive". Pass
At last, a sensible comment!
In terms of its driving dynamics. They had to make some suspension changes when taking account of the added weight.
Furthermore she even said that it was more engaging and mature to drive than most of its competitors.
I feel like you're just hating to hate.
@@maxderay I haven't driven the e-208 yet, but I have driven enough of the multi platforms (ICE + electric options) now to know that I was absolutely right in my pessimism. The cars that have been designed as electric from the ground up are (in my opinion) vastly superior to the ICE + electric ones. And by that I mean everything from space utilization to drive feel. Hate? I guess. I just don't care for the half assed ones that have electic option tacked on with compromizes all over the place.
Does there need to be a research project before they put a roof over the charging areas? It is almost as if some body presently profiting from conventional cars and fossil fuels, does not want to encourage EV take-up? Government for example have ensured public charging prices are unlimited and instead of it being a quarter the cost per mile, I found on one trip the EV electricity cost more than fossil fuel in my Volvo 5-pot diesel V70. This is not a government that wants a move to electric. Actions not deeds. All very well announcing more ambitious plans for after you leave office, but really let’s see early steps like car selling price parity? Good vid, great car.
"the 50kwh battery is water cooled"
I'm sold.
No brainer. It looks posh too
Range this car is terrible. Lovely looking car inside . Had this car for weekend test drive I was getting around 134 miles of total range.
Not good. More range required
But nice car
I was looking at getting one of these, but the range is an issue. What type of driving were you doing, and what mode did you have it in? I was hoping if it was permanently in eco mode, with fully regen braking on, I might be able to get 200 miles?
Truth is that range is terrible on ALL electric cars including Teslas. Supposedly 350 mile Telsa gets only 200 miles at brisk highway speeds, and EVEN WORSE in cold weather conditions. Checkout E for Electric channel, where host drove Tesla for few years and often got 40% less range than advertised.
@@jmiller991 hi, I was driving about 60 mph A roads on eco mode with no heater on, norm UK weather outside for this time of year . Sadly not hope getting 200 especially this time of year. Maybe better luck with Zoe.
@@springer-qb4dv its not that extreme as you describe. What electric car do you drive ?
Many people report a range as good as you would expect in this time of the year. Many people also report range improving after you've driven the car a bit - some kind of "break-in". I am not sure you drove economically. Many people like to drive this sporty car sportily and it hurts the range.
It would be much wiser to put a “UK” in the title. Or at least mention it somehow. In our country - there are NO governmental financial incentives whatsoever. Unless you count yearly tax, and free city-center parking (0.5-1€/hr). These are totally negligible. Here’s another kicker for people that want more info of what we are talking about here. This e-208 GT costs 36,000€, in our place the least expensive electric model (Active) is 31,622€. Got that? Okay, then we continue: same trim level, but petrol (Puretech 100 S&S EAT8) costs 17,000€. So, as a fellow European, living in an official EU member state country - I certainly don’t think it’s a good deal.
There's no need for a UK company, with a UK presenter, reviewing a car with a UK license plate, and discussing the price in POUNDS to specify that they're talking about the UK.
30 pounds for 100 KW that gives 160 kms (100 miles) and costs according to the charger screen 30 pounds???? 30 pounds for 100 miles is HUGE COST!!! much more than gas!!! no economy going electric?
£30/100kWh would be £15 to completely fill the (50kWh) battery from empty. Official range is around 200 miles, so £15/200 miles, not £30/100 miles. You have to remember also that most EVs leave home fully charged from a domestic supply, so the first 200 miles would cost somewhere between £4 - £7. The 5 gallons of petrol to do the same 200 miles would cost about £30.
@@markparker5585 at 1:12 it says a charge of 100KW in 20 minutes will provide 100 miles range ... i guess I missunderstood as she propably wanted to say 100KWh wich in 20 minutes would be 33KW ... this price is better
gerokatseros ah ok, if you aren’t familiar with charging an electric car I understand how it may have been a little confusing in this example. Basically, batteries don’t charge in a linear way, but on a curve. At higher states of charge, charging becomes much slower, which is why you’ll normally find 0-80% times listed, rather than 0-100%, as the last 20% can take longer than the first 80%. She is saying that the Peugeot is able to utilise rapid chargers that can supply 100kW of power, and from 0-80% (0kWh-40kWh for the e208) it will take approximately 30 minutes. You are charged by the energy supplied in kWh, the power it is supplied at (in kW) is irrelevant. So, 40kWh at 30p/kWh would have been a £12 charging fee for the 30 minute charge.
@@markparker5585 Thank you for clarifying
Gas and diesel are so last century technology.
All electric vehicles BEVs are the future. No noise, no pollution, less fuel costs, less maintenance costs.
Gas and diesel belong in a museum next to the steam engine display. They are old polluting obsolete technology.
Electric are great option. But ill never dump a V6 in favour of Electric. Ill have both. Electrics are boring a to b cars

Interesting review. Especially when you compare the two.
Almost 30 thousand pounds for a Peugeot e208 and the same for a Corsa!?
ID3 will be the real game changer not these stupidly overpriced cars.
They could have cornered the market with these.
@it'slosenotloose You can get a Leaf for less than 30k. It makes no sense for VW to bring out something even more expensive, plus the id3 is designed to be an electric while the 208 and corsa are not they're just adapted. That means the overall costs should be lower.
Lastly id3 VW is anticipating to be as big and important as the Golf & Beetle, they can't be the case if they overprice it
£28,000. Good price in the UK
