What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Ford Explorer
Style 58kWh
Owners love
- Owners praise the quiet, comfortable ride and the planted, enjoyable handling, often rated above the VW ID.4.
- Efficiency is a strong point: owners report around 3.4 to 4 miles per kWh, 300+ miles from a full charge in mild weather and about 200 in winter.
- Rear-seat space is generous, and the interior is felt to be a step up from other Fords.
Watch out for
- A few owners report electrical faults soon after delivery (warning lights, a failed instrument display, a car that would only select neutral), with long waits for a diagnosis.
- Several owners report slow repairs, parts waits and difficulty getting a courtesy car, and some dealers were unfamiliar with the car.
- The heat pump and head-up display are extra-cost options.
Owner tips
- Precondition the car before cold-weather journeys to keep efficiency up.
- Check the car thoroughly on collection, including paint and every warning light, before accepting it.
Peugeot e-3008
Allure
Owners love
- Owners praise the comfortable ride, high driving position and roomy, family-sized interior.
- Even the entry Allure is considered well equipped.
- Adaptive cruise control and lane assistance are described as easy to live with.
Watch out for
- The MyPeugeot app is the most common complaint: slow to connect, stale data and unreliable remote pre-conditioning.
- Owners note a heat pump was an option rather than standard on some versions, and winter efficiency drops noticeably.
- Some owners see public rapid charging well below the quoted 160 kW peak.
Owner tips
- Check whether the car has the optional heat pump if you drive a lot in winter.
- Test the MyPeugeot app with the seller before buying if remote charging and pre-conditioning matter to you.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Peugeot e-3008 worth the extra £1,880 over the Ford Explorer?
The Peugeot e-3008 costs £1,880 more than the Ford Explorer. For that premium it adds 53 miles more WLTP range, 55 kW faster peak rapid charging and 118 litres more boot space. The Ford Explorer is not just cheaper - it also offers a 0.8s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Peugeot e-3008 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Ford Explorer or the Peugeot e-3008?
The Ford Explorer is £1,880 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Ford Explorer comes out roughly £1,760 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Ford Explorer and Peugeot e-3008 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 183 miles for the Ford Explorer and 272 miles for the Peugeot e-3008 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-3008 goes roughly 89 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 25-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford Explorer or the Peugeot e-3008?
The two are within 23 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 528 mm of total clearance for the Ford Explorer and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-3008. The Peugeot e-3008 also turns in a 0.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Ford Explorer or the Peugeot e-3008?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Ford Explorer and 84% for the Peugeot e-3008. 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.
