What are you charging with? I have a 208E and whilst I have issues with it, charging speed isn't one of them. Will usually receive 75+KWh at a fast charger (registers as 300+ mph on the dash). My home 7KWh charger will charge the car from practically flat to 90% in 5 hours (registers as 28mph on dash).

What actually drives me mad about this car is

  • You can't go into reverse unless you are at a dead stop. Do as your told please.
  • The keys will unlock the car by proximity which also interrupts charging. Some chargers don't recover so I have to do the reconnect dance (and pay the prepay again)
  • I don't ever use the radio, but it always comes on when I start the car, FFS
  • When using cruise control it will complain that I need to hold the steering wheel. Well I am! I have to move my hands all over the steering wheel or it will cancel cruise.
  • Related to previous, but if cruise gets cancelled, so does lane keeping.
  • I wish it remembered to keep regenerative braking enabled. I feel like a jet pilot going through start up motions each time I start the car.
  • The auto braking system can be a bit trigger happy and try and break my neck.
  • The speed camera warnings are really good. But the chirping sound it makes can be deafening. Why does it keep going to max volume?
  • The Peugeot app is less than useless. Has a good list of features, but it is unreliable.

Probably more. I like the look of the car. It drives great. It's nippy from a stand still. Range is shit. Overall 6/10.

It's the 75kW on a DC charger thats slow, decade old cars are getting better speeds than that and cars a couple of years old are 200kW+ on DC with some peaking at 300kW.

The 7kW AC charging is also annoying because they limit it by using single phase charging, especially if you're in a country where 32A single phase current is not normal in residential areas. Then you're limited to 16A which is only 3.5kW, meaning you can barely charge it in a night. There is just no good reason to do single phase charging on new cars.

There is a 3 phase 11Kw option for the car you could have had :( I don't think they retrofit them though.
