Peugeot e208 - 50,000 miles and 2 Years Later

We have now had a Peugeot e208 for 2 Years and done 50,000 miles, so I thought it was time to do a look back as to how it's been.

I am planning on doing more videos about living with an electric car, travelling and charging around the South West of England.

Also an E208 GT owner and a member of various Facebook owners groups, i was epecting your video to feature persistent faults, on board charger faults and the Rear Wiring harness fault that people are posting about nearly everyday in the Peugeot e208 Owners groups, was nice to see thats not affected you, and so far not me either yet

I Love this review. Thank you for a great insight into what we do not usually hear in reviews.

I placed my order in March 2022 and hoped for delivery July 2022. So your experience over the past 2 years is invaluable insight for me as a new customer to Peugeot.

Please keep up this good work and congratulations on the high quality of this review.

It's a very good car, this little Peugeot e-208.

What a fantastic informative review. I’ve just ordered one (GT in Elixir Red) on my company salary sacrifice scheme to use mainly as our second car. Delivery 18-20 weeks though as in high demand. We only do a daily commute of 15-20 miles so will probably only need to charge weekly or so. We’ll be down the Valley of the Rocks next weekend (coming from North Somerset) - one of our favourite places in the world!

Very interesting car and i can’t wait to drive it

[tomooo]

Thank you for the review, very useful.
I disagree with the use of cheaper tires - they will be the same until you really need them in an emergency. You already noted that the tire width is quite modest for the weight of the car, so a good quality tire will make corning better, will be better in the wet, often much better in the cold (though no substitute for something like a crossclimate++) for braking with brake distances being up to 10 meters different for a A class to C class.

Brilliant video and really useful, thanks

Thanks for doing a 2yr update. I have only seen videos of the car as a first time review. So this video helps. What I can’t sense from your 2yr review is if you love, like or dislike the car. If you had to do it all over again would you buy the e208 over the competition? Are you happy with the car? I’m seriously thinking about buying it for my every day driver. Thank you.

[INSIGHTSAU]

Mind blowing seeing the number of chargers at the stop you showed.

[honestjohn]

Great review, how are you charging at home, straight plugin or charger, cheers Mate

[AdamConnelly]

Thanks for all the E 208 videos. What is the average mileage per charge ? What are the best mode to get the most range ?

[mathieu]

Thanks for this nice video. I was wondering, what about the battery health, the capacity after 2 years ? I just ordered an e208, the seller told me after 3 years I could expect a capacity of 99%. I don’t know if it’s true…

[dsummers]

Hi, Are you still driving the e208? I really enjoyed your videos. I bought a GT Premium in March 2022, so coming up for two years. Only problem has been a fix to the drop link on the rollbar. Wish I had gone for the glass roof when I see yours. I took mine off the showroom floor, so that option wasn't there. Very pleased overall, but I do a lot less miles than you.

best wishes David

Remember Octopus doesn't allow any car check to see if yours is compatible.

This EV was on my wishlist until I started to hear reports of problems with the onboard charger failing, and other parts in the car such as the AC compressor also running into problems due to the quality of 3rd party components that have been used. Would be keen to get more updates to find out if these issues are being sorted out, and if not how much they cost to get fixed out of warranty. Thanks

[jimblack]

Can you share some details on real world range please.

[gileshalliwell]

Interesting that the tyres aren’t lasting. On our Fiat 500e ours are still ok at 30, 000 miles and I’ve just changed the rear tyres on my model 3 at 45, 000…

[chrisdicko]

I'm considering one of these or a Hyundai ionic SE, they're similar in price second hand but Peugeot electrics have never been a strong point so had made me weary and after watching this I think I have my answer. I'd love to know what other people would choose between the two who've had experience with both cars

[tatts]

Wow this is so strange. I have had almost the same journey. I bought 1 e208 and had to have charging issues fixed. I then upgraded to one with adaptive cruise because like you I wanted it. I have since had charging issues on this new car that has been fixed.

[chrishewson]

What's the battery range like for mixed driving? And differences in the allure and gt models?
