Frequently asked questions
Is the Peugeot e-408 worth the extra £4,700 over the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-408 costs £4,700 more than the Peugeot e-2008. For that premium it adds 37 miles more WLTP range, 42 kW more power and a 1.5s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Peugeot e-2008 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Peugeot e-2008 or the Peugeot e-408?
The Peugeot e-2008 is £4,700 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 Peugeot e-2008 comes out roughly £4,820 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Peugeot e-2008 and Peugeot e-408 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 205 miles for the Peugeot e-2008 and 177 miles for the Peugeot e-408 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-2008 goes roughly 28 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Peugeot e-2008 or the Peugeot e-408?
The Peugeot e-2008 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 89 mm narrower than the Peugeot e-408. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 630 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-2008 and about 541 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-408. The Peugeot e-2008 also turns in a 0.8 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Peugeot e-2008 or the Peugeot e-408?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Peugeot e-2008 and 84% for the Peugeot e-408. 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.
