Frequently asked questions
Is the Peugeot e-2008 worth the extra £2,060 over the Vauxhall Corsa?
The Peugeot e-2008 costs £2,060 more than the Vauxhall Corsa. For that premium it adds 25 miles more WLTP range and 167 litres more boot space. The Vauxhall Corsa is not just cheaper - it also offers a 0.9s 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 Vauxhall Corsa?
The Vauxhall Corsa is £2,060 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 Vauxhall Corsa comes out roughly £1,940 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 Vauxhall Corsa like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 205 miles for the Peugeot e-2008 and 149 miles for the Vauxhall Corsa - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-2008 goes roughly 56 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Peugeot e-2008 or the Vauxhall Corsa?
The two are within 5 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 635 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Corsa and about 630 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-2008.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Peugeot e-2008 or the Vauxhall Corsa?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Peugeot e-2008 and 84% for the Vauxhall Corsa. 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.
