This electric blue wonder is the Peugeot e208. A fully electric car that costs as much as the well-known Renault Zoe. Looks more attractive. The question is, is it also more attractive to drive?
To find out, let’s start with the technical data. The acceleration of the electric 208t is even better than the most powerful petrol model it wanted to compare to a rallycross car on the street. Fully electric, but not a scrub. 100 kilowatts, that’s about 136 horsepower. The electric Peugeot is dynamically similar to a hot hatchback. One thing to keep in mind is that the machine is heavier.
In addition, specifically heavier. The Peugeot 208 with 131 horsepower turbocharged engine and automatic transmission is 300 kilograms lighter, but not faster. That’s what electricity can do. On the motorway, however, the balance of power is the opposite, as the e208 is only able to travel at 150 km per hour. So in Latvia it doesn’t matter at all. But for reach with a single charge – both. By electric car standards, the Peugeot e208 is quite economical – less than 15 kW per 100 kilometers. The running battery has a capacity of 50 kilowatt hours, which is the same as the Zoe. Watch more in the TV Auto news story.
