Performance
The Peugeot E-208 has a maximum power of 115 kW (156 hp / 154 bhp) and a total torque of 260 Nm (192 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 8.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 51.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 48.1 kWh, with a 2.9 kWh buffer (5.7%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 377 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 400 km (249 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 12.0 kWh/100 km (5.2 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 100 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 55 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 28 minutes at an average power of 72 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 4–57%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 64 kW over a session lasting about 24 minutes and 46 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 25 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 11 hours and 29 minutes, needing seven charging stops from 3% to 63%, totaling 190 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 4 hours and 22 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
