How does it compare?
Range
With a respectable range of 345km (214 miles), the Peugeot e-2008 finds itself outmatched by the Korean sensation, the Hyundai Kona Electric, which boasts a range of 484km (301 miles). The American muscle, Ford Mustang Mach-E (Standard Range), putters in slightly better at approximately 370km (230 miles). Sadly, the Nissan Leaf e+ and Chevrolet Bolt EUV don’t dazzle here, offering a modest 364km (226 miles) and 397km (247 miles) respectively.
Acceleration
If you fancy a quick dart to 100 km/h (62 mph), the Peugeot e-2008 reaches it in a leisurely 9.1 seconds. Compare that to the sprightly Chevrolet Bolt EUV which clocks in at 6.5 seconds, and you see where the Peugeot can leave you wanting. The Hyundai Kona Electric doesnt hang about either, taking just 7.6 seconds. Even the venerable Nissan Leaf e+ makes it in 7.3 seconds. Meanwhile, the pony car Ford Mustang Mach-E (Standard Range) takes roughly 5.8 seconds.
Power
Under the bonnet, the Peugeot e-2008 houses a heart of 156 horsepower. Its enough to get you about, but the Nissan Leaf e+ thumps you with 215 horsepower. The Chevrolet Bolt EUV isn’t far behind, rolling out 200 horsepower. The sovereigns of power, the Hyundai Kona Electric and Ford Mustang Mach-E (Standard Range), deliver a spirited punch at 201 and 266 horsepower, respectively.
Charging Time
The Peugeot e-2008 can top off its 54 kWh battery in approximately 7.5 hours using a Level 2 charger. For a rapid boost, it’ll gulp down to 80% in about 30 minutes with a DC fast charger. The Hyundai Kona Electric and Nissan Leaf e+ practically mirror this, taking about the same time on Level 2 chargers but slightly edging out Peugeot on fast chargers. The Chevrolet Bolt EUV isnt far off the mark, although its DC fast charging is a fraction slower. The Ford Mustang Mach-E (Standard Range) takes a bit longer, around 8 hours to full on a Level 2, but fast charges in under 40 minutes to 80%.
Price
At $43,300 (£32,000, €36,700), the Peugeot e-2008 sits in the middle of this electric conceivable universe. The Hyundai Kona Electric, a bit pricier, comes in around $45,000 (£33,300, €38,200). The Nissan Leaf e+ holds at about $40,000 (£29,600, €34,000), whereas the underwhelming budget beast, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, lightens the wallet by approximately $37,500 (£27,800, €32,300). And if you fancy a dance with the prancing pony, the Ford Mustang Mach-E (Standard Range), is a veritable showstopper at around $47,000 (£35,000, €39,900).
