What is the range of the 208 electric range?
Peugeot e-208 electric range and charging The Peugeot e-208 has an electric range of 217 miles (WLTP) (compared to the Corsa-e’s range of 209 miles). Our experience with real-world range was very similar to the Corsa-e – perhaps not surprising as they’re the same car underneath. A bigger battery means the Peugeot E-208 can now go further than before, but some cheaper rivals have longer legs. The Peugeot E-208 is available with two battery sizes, and the larger of the pair was first introduced in the bigger Jeep Avenger SUV before being rolled out to other Stellantis EVs.
What is a range extender for an electric car?
An EV range extender is a small auxiliary power unit, typically a compact internal combustion engine or generator, that is used to replenish an electric vehicle’s battery while driving. Is a range extended vehicle as efficient as a battery-only EV? Range extenders and the fuel that goes with them add extra weight, which saps energy from the battery when running in pure electric mode. When the engine is turned off (which should be most of the time), it’s like carrying excess baggage around.
