Autocar reports that the Peugeot e-308 will be available in 2023 as the all-electric version its new segment offering. Production is expected to start in July next year. However, there are many things that can happen between now & then. More information is available in the publication, including details about the powertrain and how it will differ from the e208 currently offered by the automaker.
The e-308 will have a 54-kilowatt hour battery that is 4 kWh more than the previous model.bThe e-208’s battery With 50-kWh of usable power. The model will be able to travel up to 250 miles (400 km) with improved battery technology. This is likely to have been achieved using Europe’s WLTP cycle. Autocar reports that the EV will have 154 horsepower (114 kilowatts), and 199 pound feet (269 Newton-meters), which will be routed to the front wheels.
The all-electric powertrain is available in the 308 and wagon versions. Peugeot will hide the rest of its powertrain hardware under the hood and place the batteries underneath the seats. The 308 plug-in hybrid’s rear cargo space should be equal to that of the Peugeot 308, and customers should expect the same tech-packed cabin as the model. This should also include 100-kilowatt fast charging.
E-308 deliveries will start after production begins next July. Peugeot will also release pricing information closer to the date of on-sale. It will be interesting for the public to compare it to both the internal combustion and plug-in hybrid variants. Agnes TessonFaget, Peugeot’s 308 brand manager, stated to the publication that the company expects the e-308 will account for at most 20% of the model’s sales once it reaches dealers. Although the 308 plug-in hybrid accounts for more that 20% of all 308 sales, we will need to wait longer than a year before this becomes a reality.
