I am in doubt on either getting the e208 or the 2020 Ioniq Electric, the Ioniq is more favorable in price and space and I am not sure the quality and slightly better range of the e208 can compensate for that. Any recommendations?
Nobby On Cars Thanks for your reply :) I’ve watched that review (and a lot of others) but that one felt more like a rant at times than a serious take on the car in the current market. I am mostly mulling over if the slightly higher quality, charging speed and battery size of the e208 would be enough to compensate for the smaller size and a $4000 higher price (in Norway) versus a fully equipped Ioniq. Leaf feels too outdated to compare, and was dissappointed by the quality of the corsa-e. Driven them all in the past few days but no real victor yet 😅 Ioniq feels like the most sensible solution right now, as we would only use fast charging for the holidays once in a while.
Ps. Maybe the viewers could read the comments on the e-corsa and comments on modes. Maybe Mm torque could be mentioned. Like the comment on maybe mature etc. You being a youngster likes the Peugeot. Zippy.
Bus lane won’t appeal to anyone outside mainly Dublin . It would make little difference to units sold . It’s all down to price . Nicer looking car than the corsa though .
I think the majority of EV sales will be in Dublin for the moment anyway due to range anxiety anyway. All I ever hear is people outside of Dublin want diesel?!
Nobby On Cars: well as a person who tried an e.v and couldn’t make it work , I feel I’m qualified to say it’s was due to cost and infrastructure & range, I had to spend nearly 19k for a poor performing leaf with a range of 150klm . A bus lane wouldn’t do it for me I’m afraid. A range of a kona at the €28000 would though . My county seen it’s first rapid charger last month , that’s why infrastructure is important too .
My question is what would you save in cost if you only do 200miles a week compared to the petrol version and how long would it take you to make the 10 thousand extra back if only using the 3 pin plug to charge at home
regardless of speed in which you can charge at home, it's still going to take the same amount of energy. If you go by the off the shelf price of approx 17c, that's about €8.50 per fill. I'm not sure how much it costs to fill the 1.2 petrol but it's probably 8l/100kms - it was when I test drove the petrol 208. Lets assume it's €45 to fill the tank and it needs to be filled (at the moment, working from home etc) twice per month. You might save 900 quid per year. Cheaper tolls, call it €1,000. It is still going to be 10 years before you save anything, by which you'll already have probably sold the thing and had two newer cars on PCP. I think for early users, it's about more than the price, they want to do their bit.
Nobby On Cars thank you that’s the best answer I’ve had as I’ve looked into electric cars but some dealers honestly couldn’t tell me how much you would save if I bought one
Did you do many km / miles to see what range you could do around town / zipping into work from it charged up to 80,% or 100? We who did your hear it called a granny charger from? Seems it is you that is using the term.
Got you. So best Nobby stops calling them that. And then on any suggestion in the e- Corsa vid that he could somehow get head pushed back performance, he seems to have got that idea from lost in translation The Irish top trim seems rather poor if no Say Nav as standard. The e-208 does come in the 4 flavours, and the 2 lower are smaller wheels On the GT the cubby hole really should have s wireless phone charger And heated seats and steering wheel should be expected.
George, with respect, maybe have some calming tea or something. If I'm Irish, in Ireland and reviewing cars for the Irish market, why would it be best that I stop using Irish slang?! Most people love a shout out in a video, don't lose any sleep over it :)
@@georgewalker7061 because of the high vehicle registration taxes here we tend to get lower specs at each trim level than other markets. For example in the UK the 10" screen is standard on the 208 GT, here the 7" screen is standard on all trim levels and you pay €685 extra to get the 10" option on any of the trims. Peugeot isn't the only manufacturer where this happens, unfortunately it's common across the board due to the market. As a result, you see far fewer high spec versions in here in any car than you would in the UK, especially B and C segment cars.
Not a fan of Peugeot I know people who had gearbox issues on a 2017 when it was only 2 years old and had to get a complete knew one. I had the same issue on the work van which is a 2019 Peugeot. They just seem to be so cheaply made. Great video though nobby
Another great review Nobby. We've just bought one after a test drive and seeing this review.
I hope you went for a bright colour 👏🏻
@@NobbyOnCars Unfortunately she wanted the cumulous grey, I loved the yellow. Will you be reviewing the MG 5 EV any time soon?
Mid Oct!
Amazing review, thank you!
Sat in the 208, found it a bit claustrophobic for a err full size gentleman., don’t suppose the E variant will be any better
it wraps around you alright, I know what you mean!
great review
Cool video. Thanks
Dunno what to get 208 or the 2008 :( I'm young driver, I do like the space from the 2008 but apparently the 208 is faster and Stuff
Hope Peugeot get it right this time

Have you had a look at the E2008

Check out Euan on the “Plug Life TV” CZcams channel. This last three vids have been about the economics of running an EV.

Mick Wilson thank you
Nobby On Cars thank you that’s the best answer I’ve had as I’ve looked into electric cars but some dealers honestly couldn’t tell me how much you would save if I bought one
@@NobbyOnCars would you say it's as high as 8l/100km on from the 130 bhp puretech?
What would happen when the ev becomes more popular using the bus lane ?
Do it for 5 years or something
Did you do many km / miles to see what range you could do around town / zipping into work from it charged up to 80,% or 100? We who did your hear it called a granny charger from? Seems it is you that is using the term.
george walker That’s what we call it in Ireland. Granny charger...
Got you. So best Nobby stops calling them that. And then on any suggestion in the e- Corsa vid that he could somehow get head pushed back performance, he seems to have got that idea from lost in translation

I charge my EV free at Rapid chargers in Scotland while working so no sleep lost and less expense running car. So positives.

Hi any idea when you can review e2008?
Chasing one up at the moment. Have the petrol version going up shortly!
