Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Peugeot e-208?
The Peugeot e-208 is £165 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £165 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Citroën ë-C4 and Peugeot e-208 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 161 miles for the Citroën ë-C4 and 155 miles for the Peugeot e-208 - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Peugeot e-208?
The Peugeot e-208 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 35 mm narrower than the Citroën ë-C4. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 635 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-208 and about 600 mm of total clearance for the Citroën ë-C4. The Peugeot e-208 also turns in a 0.5 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Peugeot e-208?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Citroën ë-C4 and 84% for the Peugeot e-208. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
