First video I have seen of yours and you are very thorough, nice down to earth and easy to understand for the novice car user. Enjoyed your comments about the infotainment system, the set up could have been better designed
Nice video Kris! Honest fair review. I own the e-2008 and after a few months of driving your positives and negatives(far outweighed by the positives) about the car are the same. All the best
Nice video. I’m looking at taking the plunge and getting my first EV, and like the look of this. I’m not a big fan of this make, but this car is now available 2nd hand for a great price here in UK. I know the range is not the best, but I seldom do long journeys and still have a petrol car if needed. This would just be the everyday runaround for town driving.
As you say an additional 15-20Kwh of battery and those software tweaks and Peugeot would have a major winner there - I get the impression the ICE department of these companies are still holding back the EV production dept. on spec and price.
I agree 50 Kwh is at the border of the range they need to convince people to get EV's. Batteries are still pretty expensive and the psa group have gone for just produsing one batterypack with a balance between capasity, cost and weight/efficency. Apperently it will be until 2024-2025 until EV's will cost the same or less as their ICE equivalent.
I've recently bought Peugeot 208e. I thought that there was something wrong with my battery, because range was nowhere near what other reviewers were reporting. You are the first one that actually stated REAL range of those cars.
The lip under the screen is where you hold your hand stable when driving! Try that on a ID3 and it will make you cry with the unintentional button presses, what were they thinking (sinking)!? 🤣
Buying this car was the biggest motoring mistake I've ever made. Very poor motorway mileage (80 miles from full charge). The keyless entry and central locking decide to work whenever they want. The keyless ignition doesn't work. AC doesn't work. And now its currently in peugeot with electric traction system fault. Once it's repaired it's getting sold immediately.
I've said this many times before. It's not easy to add 10 or 15kwh capacity. Every OEM is scrambling for batteries unless they have long-term deals like VW. PSA/Stellantis/whatever you want to called may have a bigger battery in one of their premium cars they'll launch this or in the next two years
@@marcOSSNL Sure, the title may be a little "click baity", but look at the other "Don't buy" videos of Kris. The both have more than 50k views!! So as long as it gets him views, I think its good.
I think the consumption dropped, cause time is still passing but you arn't using any energy. So over an average of let's say, 3 hours, you drive less and it makes the average lower?
I got the car, picked up a demo used GT top spec with sun roof with 2 set of tires (summer+winter) for 355k kr. . Only thing it didnt have was alarm and the front window heater. The window heater I actually regret not getting but cant have it all I guess. Just have to dig out the ice/snow some mornings. Over all a good car, although a bit boring to drive comming from the bmw I3. Anyways with the introduction of the ID4 I actually start to think that I should maybe have waited for that. A Bit bigger family car for more or less the same money(50 vs 50 kw battery I mean) with tow hitch and bigger storeage. The main advantage of the peugot is FWD if you have to use chains I guess.
Good review!👍 Like the base model "Active" best..have normal dials instead of 3D cluster. Think the car get even more quiet on road with 16 inch tyres to.👍
These cars are now being mass produced but are still selling for a much higher price.Surely ev prices should now be lower than combustion vehicles if governments are serious about reducing carbon emissions.Profit before anything else unfortunately.Nice car by the way,by far the best out of the vehicles you are comparing it to.
Superb video Kris !! I would take the ID.3 over the e-2008. I don't care about interior. I prefer to see SoC, have 58 kWh, more power, best charging curve, and efficiency. But I must say, the exterior design of e-2008 is awesome !! Greetings from Barcelona :=)
All in all, the range is not the biggest con, I mean, that’s something I knew when bought it... car is great, the real pain in the ass is its app and its lack of conectivity... that’s something any elec car cant let u down.. good conectivity and information is a must for an e car and that’s the downside of this car, which I love on the other hand
I had a DS3 E-tense for 2 weeks. Same drivetrain as the E-2008. It is the silliest, most useless car I ever owned. It managed no more than 200 km range, lot's of bugs in the software, even translation errors in the menues. A 2nd hand first gen Kia Soul EV would do the same job for most people.
Good value - are you kidding? Prices start at £33,600 in the UK - petrol versions start at £19,500 - you'll never recoup that price difference no matter how many miles you drive. A waste of money.
At what point did I say anything about it being good value in the UK? I specifically showed the Norwegian configuration and Norwegian prices and that difference will be recouped in fuel and tolls road alone. Sorry but the world is much bigger than the UK, many countries have high taxes on petrol and diesel cars making EV a good or even a cheaper choice. The world does revolve around you Jim 🙈
@@KrisRifa Kris - Of course you made no reference to UK prices - no reason why you should - I listened to your review because I was interested in your assessment - but I'm perfectly entitled to refer to UK prices - and why those prices make the car an expensive choice in the UK - it was not intended in any way as some kind of insult to you. Nor do I think that the world revolves around me, or that the UK is the centre of the world - I'm puzzled, and not a little concerned, as to why you have made these inferences. Best wishes.
@@jimmacgregor4122 I made this references because your original comment was "Good value - are you kidding me?". You then go on to talk about UK prices. If I talked about UK prices I would understand your comment. As mentioned I never talked about UK prices and specifically talked about Norwegian prices. So in what way would I be kidding you? And your closing comment "A waste of money" makes it seem like your point of view is somehow more important than others, because in many countries it is good value and by no means a waste of money.
@@KrisRifa Kris, you seem to have been conned that the English are 'arrogant' when/if they hold a different opinion from your own. I've increasingly noticed this attitude all across Europe. It seems like the state TV broadcasters are running massive propaganda (bordering on racist) campaigns against the English. Because it's just weird how it popped up out of nowhere. Along with this strange idea that everybody in Scotland and Ireland is a good person, while everybody in England is bad. Pretty sad to see people falling for such blatant political propaganda, tbh.
Well, these are battery electric vehicles to be specific. And yeah, EVs have been mainstream in Norway for the better part of a decade. Batteries seem just fine after ten years, so you are just wrong here.
Toyota gives for Lexus one milloin km garanty. Not bad. In Finland russian fuel is expensive and nasty! You can recycle batteries or reuse As a power wall.

Excellent report you have sold this car to me
What.. did I understand correctly, you can’t connect to the car via bluetooth to use Apple CarPlay? 9:27
Correct. Apple carplay and android auto need the phone to be connected via USB.
I am interested in buying a new BMW i3 2020 or 2021 I would love to get a review and a test vehicle review
These cars are now being mass produced but are still selling for a much higher price.Surely ev prices should now be lower than combustion vehicles if governments are serious about reducing carbon emissions.Profit before anything else unfortunately.Nice car by the way,by far the best out of the vehicles you are comparing it to.
We have one and its a gem comparable to our Tesla 3
Nice review. We bought one and were surprised.
Are you satisfied with the car? Im planning to buy now maybe this one, still in process of deciding..
Can't even get this car in my country and yet here I am 😂 Great Video Kris!
Awesome, love It! And thanks Doge :)
what about a review with the Fiat 500e? Your tests are really deep and there are a lot of things to talk about. Software is crazy.
Yup it's a good car with too small a battery
Is it correct that you can’t get heated steering wheel on this car?
It s a pretty cool car, my curiosity is : way in Romania the battery is 50kw and in Norway from what you are saying is only 45kw?
It's 50 Kwh brutto but 45 net capasity means usable capasity after the top and bottom buffer to protect the battery.
Very nice car, but to small for me. Want to see the 3008 full electric whith 70kWh batterie, all wheel drive and trailer hitch for under 50.000,- Euro
Yeah, that would be awesome :)
How did you messure battery temp after yoyoing?
Superb video Kris !! I would take the ID.3 over the e-2008. I don't care about interior. I prefer to see SoC, have 58 kWh, more power, best charging curve, and efficiency.
But I must say, the exterior design of e-2008 is awesome !!
Greetings from Barcelona :=)
Mucho gracias mi amigo! Yeah I totally understand what you mean. And maybe I’ll change my mind after I’ve had the ID.3 next month 😌🤔
@@KrisRifa Will you take the ID.3 ? OMG !!!
Superb news !! THanks so much :=)
@@gery4870 drove the ID3 can't settle with the look and feel of the car. Basically basic and ugly
ID.3 is only 308700 NOK with 45 kWh battery.
All in all, the range is not the biggest con, I mean, that’s something I knew when bought it... car is great, the real pain in the ass is its app and its lack of conectivity... that’s something any elec car cant let u down.. good conectivity and information is a must for an e car and that’s the downside of this car, which I love on the other hand
You lost me at Pough-Joe
OMG, only 140km range compared to 320km WLTP ?? That is dangerously low and misleading from manufacturers.
What’s a pogeot?
This video is about you dont like the car
Is just you hate the car
Thank you for this review Asian looking american accent Norwegian guy !
I bought it without seeing any TH-cam videos.
Am I the only one that knows how to have the battery % always displayed in the dashboard? Maybe Kris read the user manual next time 😉
Thanks a lot for a good summary and a nice vid (i have a ID3 that i love)
glad you enjoyed it 😊
Nice and informative review.
But you have some english errors...
I think you meant "wierd" instead of "wired"... right?
POJO? Is that some new Klingon brand?? ;)
You forgot "Holden". And its Stellantis, not PSA 🙂
Thanks
They need to do upgraded battery versions….
Agreed!
Have I been saying peugeot wrong all this time 🤷🏼♂️

Good review "P-o-jio"....?????😂😂🤣🤣
Its pronounced PURRSHOW .. not POE SHOW
Why two negatives? The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. A more balanced review would be: The Good. The Bad. The Beautiful. The Ugly🤔
