What are the running costs?

At launch, the e-3008 is available exclusively with a 73kWh battery. It’s the largest battery yet to be fitted to an electric Peugeot and gives it an above-average claimed range of 326 miles – again, the most of any Peugeot to date.

Though currently not the longest range of an electric SUV in this class – a Skoda Enyaq and new Renault Scenic E-Tech can both travel further – this will change in 2025 when Peugeot introduces a larger 98kWh battery that the firm promises will deliver a claimed 422 miles of range.

‘I’m a longer-distance driver, and I’m looking forward to seeing just how far the Long-Range e-3008 will actually go.’

This promises to be particularly impressive for a car of this price, though we do have doubts about how this electric SUV will drive with an even larger and heavier battery fitted.

Peugeot will later introduce an e-3008 with a 422-mile claimed range. Could it be enough to tempt you out of a petrol or hybrid?

In testing on a mix of UK A- and B-roads, we averaged 3.6 miles per kilowatt hour (kWh), which is middling for a vehicle of this size, but should mean the e-3008 is good for 260 miles, giving greater scope for longer distances.

Peugeot also claims it can charge at up to 160kW, enabling a 20-80% recharge in half an hour in ideal conditions with a fast enough charger. When replenishing the e-3008’s battery at home, with a 7.4kW charger (the typical outage of a home charger) it will take six hours to take the battery from 20 to 80%.

The E-3008 is the first electric Peugeot to come with an eight-year warranty.

Servicing and warranty

The e-3008 is the first new Peugeot available with what the firm calls ‘Allure Care’. This means all of the car’s key components are covered by a warranty lasting eight years and 100,000 miles, which could prove very useful for those keeping their vehicle a long time, though not for a particularly high mileage – Hyundai’s warranty might only be five years but there’s no mileage cap on it.

The stipulation here is that the e-3008 must be serviced by a Peugeot main dealer, and after every service, the customer gets a warranty extension for two years and 16,000 miles.

It’s a similar scheme that Toyota has offered for some time, and which has recently been introduced by Dacia; customers are happy as it gives them a long warranty and dealers are happy as it means more customers choose them over independent retailers.

Reliability

At the time of writing, the Peugeot e-3008 had only recently been introduced. Given it’s the first car to be based on Stellantis’ new platform, there are plenty of unknowns around its reliability, and it’s too early to make any predictions either way.
