Test: Peugeot iOn
If you are concerned about stability due to its height and "narrowness" (because it is narrower rather than wide for the eye), keep in mind that it is at the bottom. Accumulator batterywhich weighs together with a protection and a cover that 230 kilograms!! It won't be easy to turn it over. These batteries are like a fuel tank in that the electricity stored in them is powered by an electric motor that is centered in front of the rear axle, which sounds like a race, but far from it.
The motor electronics ensure that the motor does not develop more than 180 newton meters and 47 kilowatts and do not roll over 8.000 rpm... Control, along with the manipulation of electricity, is one of the most challenging problems in electronic vehicles; Since the electronic engine is small, the required additional devices are much larger than in modern cars.
The housing is designed for the engine no gearbox neededBut le reducer (to reduce revs, reversing is simply by changing the direction of rotation of the engine), and that from the driver's seat it is comfortable and hair-like (to drive) like gasoline or diesel cars.
The charger is also designed for the layman: cable and plug, nothing can be missed. There is iOn two charging options: in addition to the home socket, fast charging through dedicated stations through a different plug.
Technically and partly from the user's point of view (charging), the iOn is really unusual. New electronic mobile phones will emerge and will take a long time to become an everyday thing. Slovenia's energy policy is, of course, not a guarantee that driving electric vehicles will be truly environmentally friendly.

Editorial opinions:
Electricity - clean energy, clean news? Tomaz Porekar
If we try to find out why there has been such a fashion for electric vehicles in recent years, we come to a demand to provide alternatives that are as environmentally friendly as possible for our transport. In short, if our transport is already causing carbon dioxide emissions, it should be at least “clean”, “green”, that is, “zero”. Electric vehicles are theoretically as follows: because we "pump" electricity from the network to the batteries!
What about "clean" electricity from your home socket? The story is not easy, and Slovenian energy policy certainly does not guarantee that driving electric vehicles will be truly environmentally friendly.
The name i-On indicates that we have "i" (intelligence) turned on. When we're riding electricity with a fairly limited range, we're probably going to need some real savvy. Basically so that we can count well all the time or get what we want. In addition, these cars are also not the most suitable for boots drivers. If we want to cover long distances at once, we will have to "switch" to the way of driving that will ensure our return - or rent a few hours to recharge.
In my opinion, the Peugeot i-On is intended primarily for those who need a clear conscience.
Positively surprising in terms of usability! Alosha Darkness
Everywhere they write (write) that iOn great city car, with which you jump for children to kindergarten and school, and then to the store and for your wife ... Well, what else, but not with this shell, - we thought in the editorial office and decided to check the claims for an apartment in the field. We put the toddler in two infant car seats to test the capacity on the back bench (you have to read the bench literally) and the wife was in charge of a two week "grocery store".
Many auto shop owners were convinced that Ion would not pass this test, but look at the fraction ... Enough legroom for your little onewhich together with the child seat and the Isofix need a rather small longitudinal space, so we were not faced with a height dilemma. The four-year-old was a bit cramped behind the 180-centimeter driver, as the feet behind the tail of the mouse slid between the first and second rows of seats, and the six-year-old is already so big that it is conveniently hidden in the opening under the front seat in boots.
Zeal trunk he swallowed a lot of bags and boxes, though a little cramped and well-planned. Forget about being careful when storing luggage at home, because due to the busy basement (entrance), it is also necessary to use the space above the edge of the backrest, which is not the most beautiful and safe, but otherwise impossible.
Use with your head - Dusan Lukić
I recognized such an electric car almost immediately, not for unorganized... It is just as useful for everyday urban and urban transport as any other vehicle, but for all long distances, you need to know in advance and adapt to them.
Twenty five kilometers from Ljubljana, for example, there is no serious distance. Thousands and thousands of people take longer to get to work. But when I found out near the end of the mid-afternoon test period that I would have to jump just under 30 kilometers (and of course, in the spirit of iOna's everyday usability, I intended to do it with a pedestrian), some action was required. When I pulled into the service garage, there was only 10 miles of electricity left in the battery. So charge up and jump into a power outlet (which, thankfully, is in the office garage). I'm driving home in a few hours - when I came out of the garage, the walker had just under 50 kilometers of electricity (let's say just under half a "fuel tank").
climate (that or a trip there on a cold morning can cut the estimated range by almost a fifth in an instant) and reduced the distance home to just under 40. Then I had to run the charging cable through my eye (fortunately the parking lot is right next to it) instead of 200 meters from any block), the green and orange lights on the charger lit up and that's it - until late in the evening, just before the planned departure, I noticed that only the green light was on.
Yep, looks like it's full. But it wasn't like that - it was just in IOn a good 60 kilometers (a good half) of electricity. Why? I have no idea what stung him, that he stopped charging. And now? At first I wanted to take a risk - theoretically it should work, especially without climate. Well, I don't. I prefer to confiscate my wife's car keys... And that's exactly what you need to know about such an electric car: it can be used daily, but under two conditions: that you constantly charge and that you have a reserve for emergencies.
