Sounds fabulous. What real world miles are you getting per charge please. I test drive the e208, I was very impressed with everything.
Carl, we’ve had excellent weather for range recently (25C gives a longer range than 5C as the battery likes some warmth).
Best figures I’ve seen over a longish journey are maybe 4.3 miles per kWh (I saw 4.7 but the trip meter goes nuts sometimes when you rapid charge & throws the figures off so be careful using trip meters on this car), that was cruising the motorway at 60mph, fast A roads, etc., over about 265 miles return journey.
Worst figures I’ve had were similar speeds to above but a little cooler & driving through a monsoon, where I managed just 3.3 miles per kWh.
So real ranges at sensible speeds in the summer are perhaps 150 to 200 miles before you MUST recharge, you’ll recharge at 120 to 170 miles of course as you don’t want to see the turtle pop up as you drive from a non working charger to a working one.
Winter range we don’t know yet, expect 150 miles from a full charge but it could be worse.
Not sure how you are with Bjorn Nylands charge characteristic terminology, but the e2008 doesn’t “rapidgate” like the LEAF so you can keep charging time after time in the same day without too much of a problem.
Peugeot has a range calculator on their eBrochure, look at the figures carefully as they appear to be pretty accurate. It’ll show that at lower temperatures & higher speeds you can get the range down below 100 miles, but you’ll have to really try.
From a few of us with these cars we are calculating that the AVAILABLE CAPACITY of the battery is about 45kWh, which leaves a small top & bottom buffer. The top buffer means you can’t completely charge the battery & wreck it, and the bottom buffer means that a display of zero miles range is what you can get down to before charging, but you’ll be in a panic, the turtle will be showing, the car will be turning things off & slowing down to save its resources & you’ll have no idea how far you’ll get before it dies in the middle of the road. I’m chicken, I’ve only driven down to a range of 12 miles & I was already headed for a rapid charger.
