I very much stand corrected in that case. I genuinely thought this was for PHEVs as well (to the point where we were banking on that, too). Where did i read that then?
In that case, do note that you can’t use extension cables to your car. If the supplied cable isn’t long enough, you’re pretty much out of luck (apparently there are companies that make extensions that are able to live through the current etc – but i’m not sure how confident i’d be).
You would need to purchase an extra cable off of Peugeot (they only supply the cable to use with a Wall Box with the car), i think they’re 5m long – but they don’t recommend using that as your main charging means.
Peugeot offers a grant for a Wall Box as well, but i don’t think we as MB customers are eligible for that – but you could get a grant from the government.

I double checked now, this specifically mentions the 3008 in their list for eligible vehicles, but before i state something as a fact (for obvious reasons now) i’d need to read into that myself. That’d be at least £350 towards the charger.
Well.. That puts a dampener on our enthusiasm for a Hybrid. 🙁
