Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Peugeot e-3008 or the VW ID.4?
The VW ID.4 is £70 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 two land within £70 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 Peugeot e-3008 and VW ID.4 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 272 miles for the Peugeot e-3008 and 293 miles for the VW ID.4 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The VW ID.4 goes roughly 21 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 29-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Peugeot e-3008 or the VW ID.4?
The VW ID.4 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 43 mm narrower than the Peugeot e-3008. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 548 mm of total clearance for the VW ID.4 and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-3008. The VW ID.4 also turns in a 0.4 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-3008 or the VW ID.4?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Peugeot e-3008 and 84% for the VW ID.4. 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.
