In their own words

The e208 is generally good but range is much lower in cold weather. In eco mode with everything unnecessary switched off, I have seen 170 miles of motorway driving with remaining range of 35 miles, so range=200 miles in Summer. In winter on the same journey, range = about 165 miles. Car does give optimistic figures which decrease while driving. Driving on minor roads at low speeds improves the range. Using the heater has a significant effect on range.
Peugeot App did not work at first but after Peugeot did an upgrade, it works well apart from the pre-conditioning which does not work in any way at all. Can't have heater on at all while charging. Monthly fee is quite high, too.
I charge at home mainly but use fast chargers out on the road. Tesla charges between 40 and 77 kW and seem to be the cheapest. This means that I can charge about 60% in 30-40 minutes.
I got a good offer through CarWow, a very big reduction in cost price. I never would have paid the £31,000 list price. Just got my second year of road tax at £0 but I think it will be £195 next time.
