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.

Frequently asked questions

How far will the Peugeot E-208 go on a full charge?

The official WLTP figure is up to 248 miles. In real UK driving, expect 190 to 220 miles in summer and 160 to 190 in winter. That still covers a week's commuting for most drivers between charges.

How long does the E-208 take to rapid charge?

On a 100 kW CCS rapid charger, the battery charges from 20 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. At home, a 7.4 kW wallbox takes roughly 7.5 hours for a full charge, so overnight charging is effortless.

Is the E-208 good for motorway driving?

Yes. The 156 PS motor gives confident overtaking pace, and adaptive cruise control with lane positioning takes the strain out of long journeys. Plan a 30-minute charging stop every two hours or so and it is a relaxed cruiser.

What warranty does the E-208 battery have?

Peugeot covers the traction battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles, guaranteeing at least 70 percent of its original capacity. The car itself carries a 3-year/60,000-mile warranty.
