Peugeot e-2008 Full Electric SUV - It's Electric & French!

[@savedfaves]

The seats look really nice. It's the one thing I've noticed when I look into Peugeots

[@cal_lywal]

Saw two of these on the same stretch of the M62 yesterday - exceptionally distinctive in the rear view mirror! Great to see them.

[@markevans4832]

I have ordered it’s little sibling e208 so basically just a different body. Hope it works for me as my first EV

[@andrecasha1]

Yeah me too. I ordered the e208GT, it's coming next month. This is all new to me I hope I don't regret it :)

[@hellmekun]

What's the official wltp range for e208?

[@andrecasha1]

hellmekun 211 miles / 340km

[@andrewtowell8979]

Our 30 kWh Leaf does about 100 miles per charge and we have not regretted it once. New EV’s will do a lot more miles per charge so if the real world range suits you just smile every time you quietly pass a petrol station and feel sorry for the poor souls who just don’t know what they’re missing.

[@japanluv]

@@andrewtowell8979 Hi. Got my eyes on some 2011 to 2014 models with 24kwh with around 50k miles more or less. My daily driving if to and from work with one stop on the way will be 20 miles a day. I understand if it had many superfast charges, the range its smaller due to degradation of the battery. I would like to take one on HP and monthly will come up to £150 or so which I spend right now in petrol and road tax with an ICE car. Basically I ll pay 150 a month for 5 years but pay nothing or almost nothing to run it ( got charging at work and supermarkets so I wonder if I can lower from 2nd floor flat a long charging cable :)) to the parking. Will batteries last till 80k or 90k miles ( something I ll achieve in 5 years from the presuming 50k miles I ll get one with)?? Please reply asap :)) Seeing one or two on Wednesday.

[@davidmccarthy6061]

I HATE the "scratch test"!!! Everyone does that ONCE and then for the next eight years of ownership they never touch that part again unless they dust the dash. Everyone wants a $60K auto for a $22K price.

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

Tell me a way of showing people on camera what something is like and I’ll do that. As for needing $60k car for a half decent interior, try a European car and $22k is more than enough for that.

[@aerox69x]

I find it quite important especially near the arm rest, you touch it alot, it doesn't take a lot to make it nicer and there's many manufacturers that do so. Soft touch also scuffs less than the harder plastic

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

Ray Jennings Holed? What the hell are you doing to your cars! Soft touch doesn’t mean soft, it means more expensive material on what is in this spec a £34k car! It’s like buying an expensive TV with a cheap remote, it doesn’t change anything but you expect better given the price.

[@CraigyGInDaHut1993]

Agree with you. I'm a traditionalist with cars as well and don't really like SUV's but I do think the 2008 is 1 of the better looking ones.

[@andymccabe6712]

Seems to be an excellent car all round - and has what few people ever mention, a practical square edged boot with a low sill and a flat load area! Great! It just needs to be a) £18,000 for the entry level b) freely available to buy 'off the shelf' so lots of people will buy it. c) two years old with low mileage and having experienced 'normal' car depreciation - so I can go and have a realistic choice of 'pre-loved' examples. Meanwhile, back on Planet Reality..........!

[@francescomarialeo]

Well, actually PSA is making a comeback in the US and it seems like the car will be introduced in the US market since it's a SUV and the only type of cars americans are interested in are SUV's/pickup truck and sports cars. There is a really good chance that you will have it ! This particular car is electric and hasn't been released yet so, i think the petrol ones will be the first.

[@markmilligan6616]

SUV style cars have there place, if you are like me and have back issues, lower cars can be a pain access wise. I know there are other ev advocates who hate SUVs with a passion but for some people there is an actual reason to consider, sometimes range isn't everything, I'd have an ipace eqc or e-tron in a heartbeat if I could afford one, the 2008 I looked at for my size (6'3") wasn't quite suitable knowing the ev would be the same size sort of ruled it out for me. The PSA group could be onto a good affordable sector with their range.

[@ElectricVehicleMan]

Of course they have their place but every single car is one!

[@rustlingbushes7678]

I also had a three oh six. I loved it! Nice video, man.

[@no-oneman.4140]

Enjoyed the review, still chuckling at Rocket Surgery. I agree with your summing up, range is king. Pay the extra and get a Niro/ Soul/ Kona. Personally I'm still not convinced about the Model 3. Hopefully next year the South Koreans will sort out the supply as promised .. ID 3 could beat them all though. Patience required ...

[@colincampbell3679]

Peugeot said on another review video.. that all the seat covers are made of recycled fabrics so that's nice idea? I think more should be done by car makers to use recycled cloths and even plastics were possible..

[@youbencowell]

Kia made the Soul EV with recycled plastics and different colour to the fossil powered cars.

[@David-bl1bt]

[@sirreaper1238]

A lot of people me included actually prefer the hard “cheap” plastic because it’s far better wearing over time than the sod touch shit that so many manufacturers put into their cars.

[@RGV250FORSALE]

Sorry - but I'd disagree with you on that, as soft plastics are less likely to become scratched and marked over time like hard plastics will. And once they're scratched, they're a bugger to clean up, with heat guns only really getting rid of the smaller marks.

[@Sherukka]

Yep, full-size USB A. A also comes in mini and micro versions, but don't seem very common - I've only seen those in the wild a few times. Full-size B is the almost square one, common on printers, while mini and micro are/have been common on things like dashcams, phones, mp3-players etc etc - these days most converge towards USB C...

The problem with shared platforms is the compromise it brings. Full ev cars typically make better use of the space but they are few and far between, or cost a lot like Tesla and iPace.
