Peugeot says the E-3008 apparently offers comparable range performance to the ICE, but we're not so sure go through Brad Anderson November 13, 2024 12:55 The carmaker has not yet provided any details about charging stations during the Paris to Nice trip. All Peugeot E-3008 Long Range models use a 96.9 kWh battery pack. Peugeot proudly claims that the new E-3008 Long Range has completed the journey between Paris and Nice with "just two charging stops" and, according to the carmaker, it sets "a new benchmark in long-range electric vehicle performance". While the automaker seems proud of the achievement, it doesn't seem all that impressive. Peugeot took the wraps off the new E-3008 in September.

Despite the positive reception of the concept, it did not influence the design of Peugeot's road cars, which, according to the company's head of design Matthias Hossann, does not need to be retro.
