    Nice car, would love one but mad money as usual

    Supposedly 30k sterling

    About €33,000 here I would think

    Insane for a supermini

    Still it's refreshingly stylish and dare I say cool compared to other BEVs in the market. And the specs on the paper look great also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65,708 ✭✭✭✭unkel
    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Same size as Kona? Which costs €37k with 64kWh

    €33k for this one with presumably 50kWh would be in the same league, depending on specs etc. Pretty damn expensive :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭BigAl81


    Some more info on this from WhatCar

    50kWh battery
    Available in "Spring 2020"
    Up to 310 kms range on the WLTP cycle (*You likely won't see that in real world range)
    134bhp electric motor
    To cost from 28k sterling, or 32k sterling for top spec GT version.

    Looks like a nice car if the size suits you. Will keep an eye out for a TeslaBjorn review so!

    Owh,

    Just found it on the Irish website too. Confirmed Spring 2020 for Ireland, and also it will have an app!

    https://www.peugeot.ie/brand-and-technology/about-peugeot/news-and-blog/peugeot-electric-revolution-continues-as-new-2008-revealed.html

    Found a basic YouTube review here too...

    The e-2008 doesnt feature on the Pegeot .ie price list, is it being sold here??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭gar


    Had asked about this and demos appearing by November.
    Pricing roughly
    Active: €32K
    Allure: €34K
    GT: €37K

    All after grant


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The 134 Hp is shocking for a car of this size/weight, unlike and ICE a 134 Hp diesel can use a gearbox so I expect this to be very slow above 90 Km/hr.

    Any figures on 0-100 ? and 80-120 ?

    There's a GT Line price too.
    Prices from peugeot.ie:
    Active: €31,235
    Allure: €33,185
    GT Line: €35,715
    GT: €37,535

    All 136bhp, all 50kWh battery packs.

    Shame about the battery size (and thus the range). 310km, so motorway that's ~250km, and to safeguard against a broken/busy/missing fast charger on your journey, that's really a comfortable ~200km range on long drives, nothing more. It'd be a nice Niro alternative otherwise.

    0-100 is ~9 seconds I've heard.

    And you're not wrong about the acceleration at higher speeds. That 80-100km/hr took notable time

    Dead right there, battery sizes seem shoved into arbitrary 50kWh a while now, I know there are some higher ones as "upgrade options" but we really need to move onto base sizes higher and higher on an incremental basis.
    Look at Tesla Model S, 40,60,70,75,85,90,100, always increasing incrementally


  • Moderators Posts: 12,380 ✭✭✭✭Black_Knight


    Bjorn just posted a range test. 90/hr = 300km range at nice warm 20° weather.
    120km/hr = 200km range at nice warm 20° weather.

    A bit worse than I expected really. Irish weather (colder and rain) would cripple it on the motorway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 166 ✭✭Ballylad


    Hi anyone purchased an e-2008 lately, did it come with an AC charging cable?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11 Zander75


    Hi, got one the other, it only came with a granny cable!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,123 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    Are these essentially just a raised up super mini?

    I guess they are based on the 208 but have seen a few in the road and they look impressive, lots of road presence and don’t look supermini size at all, more C segment Focus size

    Any examples of real world ranges from here for winter and summer please?

    Check out this spreadsheet from Bjorn https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r58c93M0JwdbJ1Gik_8QhyyeLjoPgCSe1JXR_u4DrPc/edit#gid=735351678

    He's tested them all.

    Be interesting to see what your thoughts are after reading that.

    Cheers, wife needs to change car and I'm encouraging electric. She's called 3 or 4 dealers and all have put her off the idea. "Sure you'll be charging for hours to get anywhere, hybrid isn't what you want either". I know battery tech will be even better again in 2 years but I think getting a 2nd hand diesel us not great economy if that market will disappear in the coming 5 years

    I don't really get this, we had the same with Dublin dealerships a year ago when looking for an e-208. You would have thought they would have realised that an EV might suit some people.

    In the end, I went to a rural dealership and am glad I did. Good aftersales service and cheaper servicing, plus they were genuinely interested in learning the ins and outs of our EV experiences.
    The disadvantage is the distance to go for services when they are needed.

    I've found the e-208 model on A Better Route Planner is fairly accurate, I see the e-2008 is on it too.

    I found it useful to put a few of the standard trips I do into the app/website and see how the car worked for my driving patterns. Gave me more confidence in my choice before finally making the purchase.

    Don't reply to this troll. he'll be banned soon. He has been trolling various forums.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭mr potato head


    Buy an Audi, a real car

    Aren't you a happy helpful chap, good with what I have thanks.

    Against my better judgement of feeding the trolls, I've plenty of cars more fun than an Audi

    You'll be gone soon enough. trolling in framing, rugby forums and here. you'll be gone before you can post links. you're just wasting your time.

    Take that as a note to stay away from them dealerships(or salesmen). And to think, that If they had replied positively they might have made a sale. instead of fobbing you off.

    When we went with a EV, A requirement was that we would be able to make the 260 odd km trip rain, hail, or shine. And ideally make a 300km trip. (more chargers on that route, so a quick charge could be done if needed, turns out we can do that trip too easily on a full charge)

    a huge majority of charging will be done at home, overnight. Imagine not having to go to a petrol station again!

    Electric is great, once it has the range you need, price you want to pay then ye will love how cheap it is to drive on EV.

    I'm driving electric since 2015 and yes sure, I currently drive the BMW i3 Rex but mostly still drive on electirc but the point is that I would never go back to Full ICE car again, those days are long gone for me.

    Ordered our e2008 GT last week...looking like Aug/Sept delivery....:-(


  • Registered Users Posts: 464 ✭✭gary29428


    Is anyone else waiting on an e2008. We ordered one in April, now being told it will be Oct...

  • Registered Users Posts: 192 ✭✭ELCAT2009


    So how are all the E2008 owners finding their EV cars...happy with the purchase? How is the drive and range performing?



  • Registered Users Posts: 28 Aidan No1


    Hi just wondering if there was any feedback on this model. I may be getting one as a company car in the coming months to interested in feedback.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,239 ✭✭✭mag


    id be interested to know the feedback (if any) on the e2008 as well, esp how it stacks up against the eC4



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,458 ✭✭✭kuang1


    Anyone driving one of these?



  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭irbx


    My dad ordered one of these as every other EV makers were saying next year or pushing PHEV/ICE. The dealer told him it be here in first week July.

    He loved the test drive he put deposit their and then.

    But don't see to much online about them since they launched almost 2 years ago so nice to see some Irish feedback on them.


    From my looking seems to 300km range at 90km/h or 240km range at 120km/h which is more then enough of him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,289 ✭✭✭fafy


    I test drove one about a year ago, way too slow for me, 0 to 100km, takes 9 seconds, but may suit some people.Similar power level to the latest Zoe. This & the e 208 are quite stylish though tbf, and a good price point.

    Anyone who tries say a VW ID 3 (204 bhp)or the BMW i3, which are both similar in pickup - first, and then drives an e 2008, will notice a huge difference in power.

    Hi I started this post and have since started driving the e2008. This is my first electric car

    I am really enjoying the car. Not really a car person, see them as more functional than a thing of beauty however I think this car is great both inside and our style wise.

    Range is accurate, it does not like going above 90km on the motorway, the car will do it quite comfortably but the range plummets. It may take 9 seconds to go from 0 to 100 as per a previous post which may be slow??? But I find that in sport mode it is the most responsive nippy car I have ever driven.

    Not sure what else should be included in a review but if more information is needed, feel free to as questions. I will answer what I can



  • Registered Users Posts: 253 ✭✭jaybee747


    I’m 9 months into my first EV, picked the e2008 as within my budget and have enjoyed driving it daily. The cheaper running costs was my main reason for changing over from diesel but am an advocate now. 1st “service” was €50 and servicing intervals @20k. (Previous diesel was €180 every 10k 🤮). I’ve 35k on the clock commuting daily from Kildare to Dublin along the N7. Range during the summer is comfortably 250 in normal mode doing speed limits, any mad acceleration will obviously affect this, currently dash reading 14.2kw/100. Winter months a bit hairy at first due to heating, wipers on and outside temps, so range closer to 170/180 in normal mode. My commute is 110klm in total so still falls within my acceptable range in winter. Car is comfortable with some gadgets, reversing camera is decent, regen works well on the back roads and slow moving traffic. Another service due next month so be interesting to see what the cost is at 40k.



  • Registered Users Posts: 131 ✭✭BaguMka


    Hi. I've received my Peugeot e2008 2 weeks ago. So far love it. The range is accurate I do 280-300km if drive under 100km/h. I commute to work to Dublin from Kildare too and my roundtrip is 100km. Free charger at work so no complaints. Can you tell me if 50euro service was at official dealer ?


    Thanks

    Please need advice and reassurance if there is any to be had.

    We bought a E 2008 allure 232.

    I'm finding it very hard to adjust to automatic driving.

    I don't know if it's me or the car but when turning right or left from traffic lights it seems as if the car stalls yet it still going if you understand.

    I've had other drivers blowing me off the road because the car was lacking to get moving. I felt like crying and I'm 47🙈🤣

    Still having a mare getting used to the w peddles.

    Is this teething problems. I've a knot in my stomach over this. I dread driving it

    It could be a vehicle fault.

    Even if it is not a fault, go back to the dealer immediately, and ask for assistance, as it can take getting used to, the change to EV.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,563 ✭✭✭eagerv


    Get it checked out, or let a friend who is used to automatics test it. With a front wheel drive electric car it is easy enough to cause the traction control to operate, feeling as though the car is stalling. Of course, it is possible there is also a fault with the car..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,796 ✭✭✭mailforkev


    Kinda sounds like you’re in one pedal mode and when you lift off going around a corner the regen breaking is slowing you down (I presume the E2008 has a one pedal mode).

    Go back to the dealer and ask them to check it out. A lot of dealers are doing a very poor job handing over electric cars to first time owners. I know an older chap who thought his car couldn’t fast charge because the dealer never showed him the bottom DC flap bit of the charging port, only the AC. Pulled up to a charger and couldn’t use it because he thought the plug didn’t fit.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    e-2008 should be well nippy. Make sure you're not hitting the brake and accelerator at the same time as that disables the motor. You should only be using the right foot for both pedals. Just forget that you have a left foot.



  • Registered Users Posts: 65 ✭✭almae


    Has anyone noticed today that e remote , climate and charging ability is gone from the mypeugeot app ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 579 ✭✭✭idc


    just opened app and it had the climate and charging buttons but there was some other message about controlling charging remotely using e-remote , when that message disappeared got same screen as you -- climate and charging option gone.

    Side question does vehicles last known location work - mine 99% of time reports car is at home. only once have i seen seen it remote a different location I had driven too!



  • Registered Users Posts: 65 ✭✭almae


    By any chance did you do any software updates yesterday, a few people who did are having this issue.


    My car always seems to report last location at home even when I'm not



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 579 ✭✭✭idc


    Yes had installed latest version of the App. Connected to car via bluetooth this morning and it downloaded trips but still two options missing.

    But also sent email to Irish CustomerSupport and filled form on UK website. Then checked app this evening and Charge and Climate options had returned



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,672 ✭✭✭obi604


    Hi.


    what is the realistic range of this car at 120kph? In summer and then winter.
