This is the new Peugeot 208, and the big news is it"s gone electric. Or at least the e-208 version has. Fully electric, too; a 100kW (134bhp) motor teams up with a 50kWh battery to deliver over 200 miles of real world range, not to mention an 8.5sec 0-62mph time, making it quicker than any of the petrol or diesel options currently available. Though not as quick to refuel, of course. It"ll take over 20 hours to fully charge on a traditional domestic socket, but eight hours from a dedicated fast charger, with the ability to gain 80 per cent of charge in just 30 minutes if you can find a vacant rapid charger at motorway services. The time it takes for a wee"n"tea, essentially.
