• Quite efficient by seven-seat EV standards
• Average three-year warranty
• 160kW DC rapid charging

What are the running costs?

That all depends on where you charge it. Top the e-5008 up at home using a wallbox and a dedicated electric car energy tariff and it should cost you less than the equivalent petrol-powered 5008 will in fuel. If you’re relying on costly public rapid chargers, though, the savings are likely to be negligible – especially once you factor in the car’s efficiency.

We’ve had mixed results when testing the e-5008, being impressed with it in summer but less so in winter. That said, all EVs drop their range in winter – find our why here. In summer we were struggling to get anywhere close to 200 miles from a full charge, but in summer testing we averaged 3.6mi/kWh, equating to 263 miles.

We’re very keen to try the Long Range model when it arrives later in 2025 to see how far this can go on a full charge.

The e-5008 has a 400V lithium-ion battery that can accept a DC rapid charge of up to 160kW. Even though that’s close to the peak output of most UK rapid chargers, it’s still below the abilities of Hyundai and Kia’s offerings. You can add 62 miles of range in 10 minutes and recharge from 20% to 80% in 30 minutes. For slower AC charging, you get an 11kW three-phase charger is fitted as standard with 22kW capability optional.

Servicing and warranty

Every Peugeot e-5008 comes with a three-year warranty as standard, the first two years of which have an unlimited mileage cap. That’s attractive if you plan on using it to cover loads of miles on a short-term lease.

The good news is that, providing you get the e-5008 serviced at a Peugeot main dealer, the warranty can be extended up to eight years or 100,000 miles. After every scheduled service the warranty is extended for two years or 16,000 miles.

Peugeot offers three servicing packages for the e-5008 depending on how long you need coverage for. The first is 36-month plan for £18.71/month, the second is a 48-month plan for £23.21/month and the last is a 60-month plan for £22.03/month.
