TEST: Peugeot e-2008 - highway driving / mixed mode [Automobile-Propre]

The French portal Automobile-Propre tested the energy consumption of a Peugeot e-2008, that is, a car using a battery pack with an Opel Corsa-e, Peugeot e-208 or DS 3 Crossback E-Tense. The effect? The range is similar to competitors, but only thanks to the battery containing about 8 kWh more energy.

Peugeot e-2008 on the track, but de facto in mixed mode

The car was driven in "Normal" mode, where engine power is limited to 80 kW (109 hp), torque - 220 Nm. The car has an even weaker Eco mode (60 kW, 180 Nm) and a more powerful Sport mode (100 kW, 260 Nm). Only the latter gives access to all the technical capabilities of the e-2008 electric motor.

The portal's journalists first moved along the winding local roads, then jumped out onto the highway, where they moved at a speed of 120-130 km / h. 105 km to the Ionity charging station. Their travel style probably reflects smooth driving in mixed mode, because average speed shown auto it 71 km / h.

It was sunny that day, but, as we associate with other tests, the temperature was up to 10 degrees Celsius. In such conditions, Peugeot e-2008 consumed 20,1 kWh / 100 km (201 Wh / km), and after reaching the Ionity charging station, it showed 56 percent battery charge or 110 kilometers. According to journalists, real assortment of Peugeot e-2008 in these conditions it will be approximately 200 km (a source).

Note that the last section was along the highway, so the car may have adjusted the numbers downward: higher speed -> higher fuel consumption -> shorter estimated range. Which is in good agreement with the results obtained in other tests:

> Is the real power reserve of the Peugeot e-2008 only 240 kilometers?

Peugeot e-2008 and Hyundai Kona Electric 39,2 kWh i Nissan Leaf II

The Peugeot e-2008 battery has a total capacity of 50 kWh, that is, up to 47 kWh of usable capacity. The car belongs to the B-SUV segment and therefore competes directly with the Hyundai Kona Electric 39,2 kWh. It is enough to compare the possibilities to understand that the energy efficiency of the transmission of vehicles on the e-CMP platform may be slightly lower than that of competitors of other brands.

An alternative explanation is that the battery buffer (difference between usable and total capacity) is larger than the 3 kWh suggested.

> Total battery capacity and usable battery capacity - what is it about? [WE WILL ANSWER]

The effect is the same: both Hyundai Kona Electric and Nissan Leaf (battery ~ 37 kWh; total capacity 40 kWh) reach in optimal conditions about 240-260 kilometers on a single charge. The Peugeot e-2008 can stay in this range at higher temperatures, but don't expect it to outperform the Hyundai Kona Electric (~ 258 km).

When driving on a highway therefore, under normal conditions, the maximum 160-170 kilometers range... Considering that the charging process is fastest in the 0-70 percent range, in terms of in a hurry, in a hurry driver, a stop may be required after about 120 km of the motorway.

> Peugeot e-208 and fast charge: ~ 100 kW only up to 16 percent, then ~ 76-78 kW and gradually decreases
