Frequently asked questions
How much does a Peugeot e-2008 cost to run per mile in the UK?
At a standard UK home electricity rate of 26.1p/kWh (the Ofgem price cap unit rate for July–September 2026) and a real-world efficiency of 3.3 miles/kWh, the Peugeot e-2008 costs approximately 7.9p per mile when charging at home. On a dedicated overnight EV tariff (around 7p/kWh) this falls to just 2.1p per mile. Relying entirely on public rapid charging — which averaged 79p/kWh in mid-2026 — raises the cost to 23.9p per mile.
Is the Peugeot e-2008 cheaper to run than the Peugeot 2008?
Yes, for most UK drivers who can charge at home. The Peugeot 2008 costs approximately 15.9p per mile in petrol at current UK prices. At home on a standard tariff, the Peugeot e-2008 costs 7.9p per mile — a saving of 8.0p per mile. At 10,000 miles per year with 80% home charging, the Peugeot e-2008 saves around £474 per year in fuel costs.
How long to break even switching from a Peugeot 2008 to a Peugeot e-2008?
Based on an estimated price premium of £9,000 for the Peugeot e-2008 over the Peugeot 2008, and annual fuel savings of approximately £474 at 10,000 miles per year (80% home charging), the break-even point is around 19.0 years. Drivers covering more miles will reach break-even sooner — at 15,000 miles per year the saving is proportionally larger.
What if I can't charge the Peugeot e-2008 at home?
Without home charging, the economics change significantly. Relying on public rapid charging — which averaged 79p/kWh in mid-2026, up sharply from a couple of years ago — puts the Peugeot e-2008 at 23.9p per mile — higher than the Peugeot 2008 at 15.9p per mile. EV running cost savings are almost entirely dependent on home charging access. Drivers without off-street parking should factor this in carefully.
