Performance
The Peugeot E-308 SW 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 10.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 170 km/h (106 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 54.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 50.8 kWh, with a 3.2 kWh buffer (5.9%) 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 410 km (255 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 12.4 kWh/100 km (5.0 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 58 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 29 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 65 kW over a session lasting about 25 minutes and 50 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 20.5 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 43 minutes, needing six charging stops from 5% to 56%, totaling 144 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 7.4 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 6 hours and 51 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
An optional 11 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 4 hours and 37 minutes.
Charge Port
The charge port is on the left rear side. This position suits charging bays where the vehicle reverses toward the charging point.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
