Introduction
What Car? says...
Thinking about getting an electric car but don't want to shout it from the rooftops? The Peugeot e-208 could be the model for you.
That's because, unlike many of its rivals, including the Honda E, Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe, this isn't a bespoke electric vehicle (EV) that's designed to stand out from 'normal' petrol and diesel cars. The e-208 is just a Peugeot 208 with a big battery and an electric motor instead of an engine with cylinders and pistons.
