Peugeot showing prototype of their upcoming
fully-electric e-208 supermini at the Fully Charged Live event, taking place
from June 7th to 9th at Silverstone. Reservations are now being taken for the
small EV. The French automaker is already planning on providing electrified
variants across its entire model range by 2023, which is why the e-208 is
powered by a 100 kW motor and a 50 kW battery, delivering a zero-emission range
of up to 339 km on a full charge.
The all-new Peugeot e-208 is built on the e-CMP
electrified modular platform and is capable of supporting 100 kW rapid
charging, with an 80% charge available within 30 minutes. Meanwhile, a full
charge (using a 7 kWh Wallbox charger) will take roughly eight hours.
In terms of performance, the e-208 will be able to
accelerate to 100 km/h from a standstill in 8.1 seconds, aided by the
136 PS and 260 Nm of torque – numbers that are identical
to those of its platform sibling, the all-new Opel Corsa-e.
The Peugeot e-208 will feature the automaker’s
latest i-Cockpit system, with a 3D instrument panel and touchscreen display.
All e-208 models will have MirrorLink with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as
standard, with drivers able to select between three driving modes (Eco, Normal
and Sport) once they’re ready to get going.
