Peugeot e-308 SW vs Vauxhall Mokka

The Peugeot e-308 SW is £240 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £144 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Peugeot e-308 SW comes out roughly £360 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 229 miles for the Peugeot e-308 SW and 173 miles for the Vauxhall Mokka - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-308 SW goes roughly 57 miles further between charging stops.

The Peugeot e-308 SW is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 135 mm narrower than the Vauxhall Mokka. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 548 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-308 SW and about 413 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Mokka. The Vauxhall Mokka also turns in a 0.7 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Peugeot e-308 SW and 84% for the Vauxhall Mokka. 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.
