PEUGEOT ELECTRIC VEHICLES

The autonomy of an electric vehicle refers to the number of kilometers that can be traveled until the battery is fully discharged. At the time of purchase, users want the autonomy values announced by the manufacturers to be as representative as possible of their actual use.

The WLTPWorldwide Harmonized Vehicle Test Procedure  protocol reflects more realistically the consumption of an electrified car and its autonomy.

Using:

• the power indicator, control your energy consumption in real time from your dashboard.
• your smartphone, thanks to MyPeugeot services, program your vehicle load remotely whenever you want
• your smartphone, program the thermal pre-conditioning of your cabin when your car is loaded, allows you to maintain your autonomy.
• driving modes such as Eco-drive mode or Brake mode.

Some eco-driving tips:

• Choose Brake mode: Prefer the engine brake to the brake pedal during braking and decelerations to recover autonomy.
• Go to Eco mode: The eco mode saves energy by reasonably reducing engine power. Preferably in town!
• Pre-conditioning: When your Peugeot is in charge, make the most of it to prepare the temperature on board with the MyPeugeot application.
• Watch your tires: Tire wear and inflation are always to be monitored. This is even more true for an electric vehicle, you would risk losing a lot of battery life if necessary.

Electric vehicles are more expensive at the time of purchase than their thermal equivalents. However, the total cost of a vehicle is not just the purchase price. In addition, the vehicle must be supplied with fuel, insurance and maintenance. If all of these factors are taken into account, then electric cars are cheaper than thermal vehicles.

On average, electric vehicles save 40% on consumption and 30% on maintenance costs compared to their thermal counterparts.

PEUGEOT electric cars, such as the new PEUGEOT e-208 and the new PEUGEOT e-2008, benefit from optimizing the services of road-keeping, handling, acoustic and thermal comfort and lightening to help limit CO2 emissions and allow you to live an intense driving experience!

The idea that an electric car is less efficient than a thermal car is a false idea. Even though they are quiet when used, electric vehicles are still performing. They achieve the same speeds as their thermal counterparts, while offering new driving comfort with a quiet engine and reduced vibrations. On the other hand, acceleration and deceleration are as fast on electric vehicles as on their thermal counterparts.
