Overview
The Peugeot E-208 takes one of Britain's best-looking superminis and swaps the petrol engine for a punchy electric powertrain, and the result is one of the most desirable small EVs you can buy. The 2024 model pairs a 51 kWh battery with a 156 PS motor for up to 248 miles of WLTP range, which means most owners will only need to charge once or twice a week. Inside, Peugeot's i-Cockpit layout — a small steering wheel, high-set digital dials and a 10-inch touchscreen — feels genuinely premium, with neat touches like 3D-effect instruments on higher trims. A 100 kW CCS rapid-charge capability means 20 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes at a motorway service station, while a full overnight top-up on a 7.4 kW home wallbox costs just a few pounds. With sharp styling, lively handling and zero tailpipe emissions, the E-208 makes the electric switch feel like an upgrade rather than a compromise.
