Question 1

What's the real-world driving range, and how far can you actually go between charges?

Accepted Answer

Peugeot Australia's E-308 specification sheet quotes 400km of electric-only range on the WLTP cycle from the 50kWh battery, and real-world range will drop in cold weather or at sustained highway speeds. Peugeot does not publish a usable-capacity figure separately from the 50kWh nominal.

Question 2

How much will it cost to charge at home, and how long does a full charge take?

Accepted Answer

At typical Australian off-peak electricity rates around 20 to 25 cents per kWh, a full 50kWh charge costs roughly $10 to $13. Peugeot quotes about 5 hours on a three-phase 16A (11kW) wallbox, about 15.5 hours on a single-phase 32A (7.4kW) wallbox, and 30 minutes from 0 to 80 per cent on a 100kW DC fast charger.

Question 3

How does it feel to drive, and is 115 kW enough power?

Accepted Answer

With 115kW and 270Nm of instant torque, the e-308 hits 100km/h in 9.8 seconds and tops out at 170km/h. Quick enough for city and suburban traffic, but not sporty. The electric motor delivers its power immediately, so low-speed driving feels responsive.

Question 4

What's the price, and is it worth it against petrol rivals like the Corolla or i30?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 e-308 is priced at $67,990, which puts it roughly $15,000–$20,000 above an equivalent petrol hatchback. However, no fuel or oil costs, lower servicing, and a 5-year unlimited-km warranty offset that gap over time; if you do high annual mileage and charge at home, the e-308 becomes cheaper to run than a petrol car within 4–5 years. Weigh your typical annual kilometres and access to home charging before deciding.

Question 5

What safety features are standard, and is there a 360 camera or blind-spot monitoring?

Accepted Answer

You get adaptive cruise control with stop and go, autonomous emergency braking with low-light pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, active lane following assist, long-range blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert and 360-degree HD cameras (one front, one rear and one in each door mirror), all listed as standard on the E-308 GT. There is no panoramic roof.

Question 6

Does it have wireless phone charging and heated seats?

Accepted Answer

No—wireless charging and heated front seats are both absent, which is a mild disappointment at this price point. You do get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so navigation and music work seamlessly, but you'll be plugging in your phone the old-fashioned way.

Question 7

How much boot space is there, and can you carry a decent weekly shop?

Accepted Answer

Peugeot Australia quotes 434 litres of boot space with the seats in place and a maximum of 1,467 litres with the rear seats folded, which is generous for the class. The 5-door configuration makes loading easy and the rear seats fold almost flat for larger items.

Question 8

Is there a warranty, and what happens if the battery degrades?

Accepted Answer

Peugeot backs the e-308 with a 5-year unlimited-kilometre warranty across the whole car, including the battery. Most manufacturers guarantee the battery holds at least 70–80% capacity over that period, so you're covered if it drops faster, though Peugeot's exact battery warranty terms should be confirmed with your dealer.
