PEUGEOT
E 2008 Introduction
The Peugeot e-2008 brings French flair, practicality, and all-electric performance to Australia’s small SUV market, appealing to urban families, professionals, and anyone ready to ditch petrol for a compact EV with real design presence. Driven by a 100 kW electric motor and 50 kWh lithium-ion battery, the e-2008 offers up to 328 km (WLTP) of range and instant torque for quiet, zippy moves in city traffic or on the open road. Available in well-equipped GT trim, the e-2008’s value shines through standard dual-zone climate, adaptive cruise, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, heated and massaging seats, and a panoramic roof—while a plush 434 L boot swallows all the gear a small family needs.
Charging is easy: home AC (7.4/11 kW) fills the battery in 5–7.5 hours, while public 100 kW DC fast charging takes just 30 minutes for 10–80%. The e-2008’s cabin wins praise for its sharp i-Cockpit® layout, ambient lighting, Alcantara leather trim, and digital driver display. Safety features—AEB with cyclist and pedestrian detection, lane keep, adaptive cruise, blind spot and traffic sign recognition—keep it secure among the segment’s best. With a 5-year/unlimited warranty (8-year/160,000 km battery cover) and service every 12 months/15,000 km, running costs are simple, and solar-charged driving is within easy reach for urban buyers.
If you’re cross-shopping MG ZS EV, Kona Electric, or a used Model 3, the e-2008 stands out for its blend of premium fit-out, nimble size, and straightforward electric running in an upmarket compact SUV package.
Available models
E 2008 Performance & Power
The e-2008’s 100 kW/260 Nm electric drive gives brisk, silent off-the-line response ideal for tight Aussie city streets and carparks. “Performance is certainly good enough, but straight-line acceleration… is leisurely compared to many EV rivals,” says Sam Purcell (Drive). Official 0–100 km/h is about 9 seconds but around-town driveability is excellent: single-pedal response, tight handling, and three drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) tailor output for either max range or urgent sprints. Instant torque makes city merging and stop-start traffic effortless.
Reviewers agree that while heavier than its petrol sibling, the e-2008’s instant response keeps it ahead of traffic, with smooth acceleration and a manageable learning curve for new EV owners. Top speed is 150 km/h—plenty for peaceful highway runs. Most drivers will find the e-2008 quick enough for city, school run or regional travel.
E 2008 Interior & Design
Step into the e-2008 and you’ll find a “premium sense” rare in small EVs, with soft-touch Alcantara/leather trim, copper stitching, tactile toggle switches, and a modern i‑Cockpit® layout (Sam Purcell, Drive). The minimalist dash, ambient-lighting themes, and signature digital instruments set it apart from bland competitors. The panoramic glass roof and tall seating position give passengers strong visibility and loads of headroom, while massage/heated front seats (GT) add comfort for daily use.
Boot space is 434 L with seats up—beating some petrol rivals—and folds flat to 1,467 L when extra cargo room is needed. Small-item storage is everywhere and rear legroom is above class average for two adults or three kids. Most reviewers praise the bold Euro design, although some note loss of a spare wheel and a few hard lower plastics as downsides for busy family buyers.
E 2008 Technology & Safety
All trims include a crisp 10-inch touchscreen, CarPlay/Android Auto, digital i-Cockpit® display, dual-zone climate, and remote app and navigation functions. "While there is no safety rating, the e-2008 is well supplied with safety equipment and technology” (Sam Purcell, Drive). Autonomous Emergency Braking covers pedestrians and cyclists, lane keep/traffic sign, adaptive cruise (with stop & go), blind spot, driver attention, and a 180° reversing cam.
Owners love the clarity, responsiveness, and energy tracking software, though missing features like a 360-degree camera and wireless charging are noted at this price. Everything is ergonomic and logical for urban distraction minimisation; five-year warranty and regular software updates mean features are easy to keep current. Six airbags and sturdy crash structure assure peace of mind.
E 2008 Range & Charging
WLTP range is up to 328 km; real-world users in Australia see 270–320 km in urban or regional conditions. On-test, “after our first hour-long loop of driving, we saw as low as 13.5 kWh per 100 kilometres” (Sam Purcell, Drive). Fast DC charging (100 kW) gives 10–80% in about 30 minutes; home charging at 11 kW takes 5 hours, while 7.4 kW home EV charging covers overnight top-ups (~7.5 hrs). Around town, many drivers need just one or two charges a week.
Range drops if you drive hard, carry extra passengers, or run the AC on hot summer days. Most owners find solar home charging or cheap off-peak rates make weekly running costs negligible. Regular app-based energy feedback helps drivers optimise habits and range.
E 2008 & Solar Power
Charging the e-2008 from solar panels at home or depot makes for nearly free, emissions-free motoring for busy city families, car-share fleets, or solo commuters. A solar-compatible EV charger lets you schedule day charging to soak up sunlight, with most owners now reporting $0 fuel bills for many months. Home charging coverage means avoiding public queues and maximising the lifespan of the car’s 8-year battery warranty. Plugging into solar every day ensures the lowest carbon footprint possible and shields owners from energy price rises. For urban driving especially, this setup makes city EV ownership worry-free and green.
