Peugeot e-208 Hatchback GT Line Electric 50kWh 136 auto 5d Owner Review

The car is nice to drive and the finish is good. The only problem I have is with the range. I drive the car as its designed to be used i.e.as a city car. My mileage is very low after nearly a year of ownership (current mileage 1350). I have never managed to get the 217 miles that Peugeot claims on a full charge. The latest range displayed on the car after a full charge is a 142 miles. I drive the car in eco/normal mode, with regenarative braking selected on mainly restricted roads and the car is unladen. I have contacted Peugeot about this and they say that during cold weather the battery is not as efficient and that I should use the pre conditioning function on the app which effectively warms the battery. The app does not work even after many attempts at re installing the new app. The latest from Peugeot is that I need to take the car for a 15 min run and then it will connect! A bit weird as the phone is paired, journeys are recorded and the charge function is displayed on the homepage of the app. There are many instances of the app on forums being rubbish. So to sum up, I don't get the range, Peugeot say to use the pre condition which I can't so therefore I can't improve the range in cold weather. Very poor service from Peugeot.
