For long trips, a charging curve is a very relevant info of any EV: It's how fast it charges (kW) vs how full the battery already is (percentage). Usually the lower the battery percentage, the faster you can charge. The range of the car is secondary as soon as you get into trip lengths of more than one battery charge. I hope 100kW is not the maximum charging speed of the car, because for 45k€ (which the all electric 308SW costs) you could instead get the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which is also a great family vehicle and can charge with more than 200kW due to its 800V technology.
Yeah but also if Peugeot can take 100kW for longer time, in the end it can charge in the same time or close to as Ioniq5 with higher max but for very short time. From what I talked with Stelantis engineers, they are taking approach of saving battery from long term.
It’s a nice car,looks a nice place to sit. But I will never buy electric,they are a pain to own. The infrastructure is not there plus people become obsessive about constantly checking their range. And when you do charge it ? Always a queue in front of you. The manufacturers are beginning to realise this isn’t the way
Sure it is! I love current gen of PEUGEOT cars. I completely understand your reasonable opinion on why to not get one. From my point, I gotta say I like peacefulness of EVs on long travels, other than that, they can be a pain...
Great video, thank you. Very informative. Car looks lovely, hope it gets a bit cheaper though.
Glad to inform mate! Yeah that would be appropriate, 50k is too much.

Can you review the new Polestar 2 single motor long range? btw good videos!
I will try to make it happen next year. ;)
