Some time ago, the French car manufacturer Peugeot introduced the new generation 3008 crossover, as well as the electric E-3008, built on the STLA Medium platform of the Stellantis concern. The car has shown very impressive results in tests in France, making a trip from Paris to Nice with two charging stops.
Considering this trip is over 900 kilometers long, it’s not bad at all. It is important to say that the car drove all the way at the speed allowed on French roads, which is 130 km/h. It’s no secret that the energy consumption of electric cars rises very quickly at high speeds, so the performance and driving speed on one charge on the highways of most European countries is not too impressive. Usually, various range tests are done around 100-110 km/h, but at higher speeds wear increases rapidly.
The air temperature changed by about +20 degrees Celsius, which is much better for an electric car, while recharging was done twice – the first after 340 kilometers, the second after 366 kilometer. Here, however, very important information is missing – how long the car spent charging and how much electricity was loaded in each stop. That speed at that speed is a respectable achievement to say the least.
Stellantis promises that the E-3008, with its largest 98kWh battery, will be able to travel 701 kilometers on a single charge in the WLTP cycle. The concern intends to use this platform for several new models, trying to improve competitiveness, while we can wait for the new 1000-kilometer test season with the hope that the Peugeot E- 3008 is one of the cars we make. available for this big tour of Latvia next year.
