, offering up to
350 km of autonomy
according to the WLTP cycle. Thatâs a respectable performance, especially for a vehicle with so much power under the hood. Here are the major technical elements optimized for everyday life but also for longer getaways:⥠Optimized battery cooling : a point often overlooked, but crucial when it comes, for example, to driving on a circuit or under heavy load.
đ
- Fast charging up to 100 kW : to limit downtime as much as possible and get back on the road without frustration. đ
- Fine energy management : several driving modes allow consumption to be adapted, from sport to eco mode, to maximize range. A few figures summarize the capacities of the battery and its recharge:
- đ Battery ⥠Value Ability
54 kWh
| WLTP autonomy | 350km |
|---|---|
| Fast charging | Up to 100 kW |
| Estimated time 0-80% recharge | About 25-30 minutes |
| Peugeot’s choice to maintain a reasonable battery capacity demonstrates its mastery of the power/weight compromise, essential for a vehicle that aims to be sporty. Improved cooling prevents overheating, which is often prohibitive during prolonged acceleration, transforming the e-208 GTI into a hot hatch suitable for trackdays and sustained daily use. | Innovation and ecology: Peugeot charts its course towards a cleaner future |
| The Peugeot e-208 GTI is fully in line with the current automotive trend: combining performance and respect for the environment through innovative electric technologies.
