Peugeot e-208 Review - An Electric Car Worth Getting?

Looking for a small electric car? ⚡️
There's a lot of choice and the Peugeot e-208 is a popular one... But is it worth getting?

In this review I share ALL you need to know about the fully electric Peugeot e-208: the range, charging time, features it comes with as standard and how it sizes up against rivals like the Renault Zoe and Mini Electric!

BONUS: You'll also find out how good my singing is! Lucky you. 😉

Amazing reviews every time especially the fact they don’t feel scripted like some reviews online

Great review @SHETALKSCARS - thank you! I got one of these last year (in the sensational yellow) and it is an absolute pleasure to drive and own. The range is interesting - it falls away quite considerably in the winter (due to heater draining so much power) - so top tip, if you have the spec, use heated seats rather than heater to reduce battery consumption (even though it sometimes feels like you've wet yourself with a heated seat - hahahaha). And it's the first car I've ever owned where it has literally turned heads and had folk coming up saying "nice car/colour" ... I love it - and given where fuel prices are today, I made exactly the right choice (even though it is quite pricey up front). Keep up the great work!

Peugeot interior is so pretty, I just wish it had better range. As always great review 👌🏽

[boardman]

This was a great review, you’re very underrated! Keep it up. I’m not even car shopping or considering anything like this, but you made this car appealing! Very informative and the little jokes you have in between each seg way help the flow of the video.

Probably closing a deal tomorrow for a white with this configuration. The interior is a bit busy for my liking but I think it will be perfect for my commute in Portugal. Loved the review, thank you!

Peugeot sells the 208 in Mexico, but they don’t get the electric version.
They only get the 3cyl turbo versions.

Please please, like too many reviewers, it is important to understand it does not matter what brake mode you are in (B or normal, or even coast), all EV's except 1 (tesla) have blended brakes - hence the spongy peddle and all EV's. This means that when you use the brakes - regardless of B/normal mode you will regen up to the generation limit in all EV's . So it does not "save your brakes" to use B mode - since all EV's will use regen up to their max regen when you use the brakes - just that B mode changes the auto-slow down on accelerator lift off setting.
What does affect your brakes is poor driving style where you slow down heavily in all conditions and you exceed the regen power limit which I believe is about 50kW-peak..
Note, most reviewers get this wrong, so keep up the good work.

Plenty of owners are getting only 150-160 miles range, though Peugeot have tweaked the range with some tyre mods (etc.) recently.
Visibility good? I have a petrol 208 and am constantly craning my neck around the thick A B and C pillars

I'm picking up a 2020 GT tommorow for £12K so I'm quite excited about that, it will be a throw back to the 205 GTI I had when I was 19. Can you believe that one dealer is selling the base model for £20K new right now?

[johnblund]

I chose the e-208 before the mini electric because of the range and the storage.
I would have chosen the mini otherwise because of the much more power and joy and that it has true one pedal driving.
I almost think that i should have chosen the mini, but it only has 50 kW charging and short range.

[davidfleming]

Yes I got E208 Allure, I had rattle underneath, took it back to main dealer and they said it to be normal, can you believe that we now nearly in the 23rd century, got in touch with peugeot they said take it to a different dealer which I did, and did it for me and they said I was the second one that day.

[donaldanderson]

I've got the e208 GT line and it is beautiful to drive. However, I don't think the range is great. The dials say 180 miles but after 80 miles I'm on half a tank so realistically I would need to be looking for a charger after 120 miles. It is still way cheaper to drive than an ICE and even on Eco mode, it really shifts.

Was watching this and thought how can you better demonstrate practicality.. is there any chance you can reach out to company like mamas and papas and ask them to lend out a pram and isofix carseats? So you can show if they can fit the slimmer or bulky baby accessories

Keep up the great work! My daughter who’s 5 wants to be a YouTuber but she’s too young to review cars lol

[MrKb]

Brilliantly presented as usual, thanks . I've just ordered the EV6 GT - S and I'm still watching your reviews, unfortunately its not arriving till January 😀 100 % entertainment thanks 👍

[Drrippa]

Amazing car beautiful but they are going for less than £15k second hand so bargain.

[ISuperTed]

What a great review - succinct and to the point and the quality is fabulous! I’ve just ordered a GT in Elixir Red (I love the blue but wife loves the red!) as I think it’s the best small EV out there currently. Has enough range (we’ll only do about 150 miles a week in it) and big enough as a second car. Tried a few different EV’s and the e208 was just more fun and better looking so thought why not?

[lucianpheonix]

Gorgeous car and a gorgeous woman:). Am buying this or the BMW i3.. such a hard choice😢
