A beneficial discount of 1,440 euros currently brings the price of the Peugeot 308 electric below 47,000 euros. Phew!
We never think of it, and yet it definitely exists. Even at Peugeot, it seems forgotten; the E-308 doesn’t even appear in the list of electric models of the range (see below)
It’s worth noting that the Peugeot E-308 plays the snob with a positioning that is frankly indefensible today. Because despite the small discount currently offered, its discounted and bonused price is equivalent to that of a Tesla Model 3… without the bonus. Indeed, the Peugeot E-308 First Edition sees its price drop from €48,000 to €46,560, or €41,560 after deducting the €5,000 ecological bonus.
All this with performance far from being market benchmarks: a 54 kWh battery, a 115 kW (154 hp) motor, charging limited to 100 kW, and a real-world range of 300 km at best. Far from the technical sheet of a car designed solely to be electric, like Tesla or Renault Megane.
Another example: the MG4 XPOWER costs €6,000 less, after bonus deduction, but offers four-wheel drive, a 64 kWh battery, 435 hp (0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds), and charging up to 140 kW.
Despite everything, this Peugeot features a truly impressive design and top-quality equipment. For the rest, we’ve gone through all the arguments. Its price remains a thorn, still roughly €5,000 too high to compete with the market references.
