## Why this model

The Peugeot e-2008 is a stylish and practical electric SUV that's a solid choice for a used EV. It offers a comfortable ride, a decent real-world range of around 150-180 miles, and a distinctive interior. It's a great option if you want an EV that doesn't scream 'electric car' and offers a more premium feel than some rivals. Running costs are super low, especially if you can charge at home.

## What you should pay

Used EV prices have seen significant adjustments recently, making cars like the e-2008 much more affordable. A 2021 model with average mileage is now past its steepest depreciation curve, offering good value. Expect to pay around £16,000-£17,000 for a well-maintained Allure Premium trim.

## Which trim to buy

The Allure Premium trim hits the sweet spot for value. It comes with a great balance of features like a 10-inch infotainment screen, sat-nav, rear parking sensors, and a reversing camera, without pushing the price up too much for features you might not need from the top-tier GT Line. It feels modern and well-equipped for daily driving.

## What to check before you buy

- Software glitches (infotainment)
- 12V battery failure (can strand the car)
- Charging port issues (sometimes moisture ingress)
- Minor trim rattles

## Running costs

Running an e-2008 is very cheap, especially if you charge at home. At a standard UK electricity rate (around 34p/kWh), you're looking at about 8-10p per mile. If you switch to a smart tariff like Octopus Go or Intelligent Octopus, you could pay as little as 7.5p/kWh overnight, bringing your cost down to 2-3p per mile. For 10,000 miles a year, that's roughly £800-£1000 on a standard tariff or just £200-£300 on a smart tariff. Road tax is free until April 2025, then it's £195 per year. Insurance costs are generally comparable to petrol SUVs of a similar size, varying based on your personal circumstances.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Electric
- **Horsepower**: 136 hp
- **Mpg**: N/A (Electric)
- **Reliability Score**: Good
- **Safety Rating**: 5-star Euro NCAP (2019)

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £16,500 | 0% |
| 2027 | £14,000 | 15.15% |
| 2028 | £12,000 | 27.27% |
| 2029 | £10,500 | 36.36% |
| 2030 | £9,000 | 45.45% |

The 2021 e-2008 has already absorbed a significant portion of its initial depreciation, especially given the broader EV market adjustments. Buying now means you're getting it after the steepest drop, so your future depreciation should be more gradual and predictable, offering better long-term value retention.

Total value lost since new: 45.45%.
