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 257 miles for the Peugeot e-5008 and 189 miles for the Smart #3 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.

Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Peugeot e-5008 or the Smart #3?
The Smart #3 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 51 mm narrower than the Peugeot e-5008. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 556 mm of total clearance for the Smart #3 and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-5008.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Peugeot e-5008 or the Smart #3?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Peugeot e-5008 and 84% for the Smart #3.
