Peugeot e-Rifter vs Peugeot e-Rifter (2021-2024)

The Peugeot e-Rifter is £305 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £176 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Peugeot e-Rifter comes out roughly £425 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 166 miles for the Peugeot e-Rifter and 144 miles for the Peugeot e-Rifter - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-Rifter goes roughly 22 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 30-30 minutes.

The two are within 0 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 479 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-Rifter and about 479 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-Rifter.

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