Frequently asked questions
Is the Alpine A390 worth the extra £27,125 over the Peugeot e-408?
The Alpine A390 costs £27,125 more than the Peugeot e-408. For that premium it adds 62 miles more WLTP range, 61 litres more boot space and 137 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Alpine A390 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Alpine A390 or the Peugeot e-408?
The Peugeot e-408 is £27,125 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £176 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Peugeot e-408 comes out roughly £27,125 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Alpine A390 and Peugeot e-408 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 288 miles for the Alpine A390 and 177 miles for the Peugeot e-408 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Alpine A390 goes roughly 111 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Alpine A390 or the Peugeot e-408?
The two are within 26 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 541 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-408 and about 515 mm of total clearance for the Alpine A390.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Alpine A390 or the Peugeot e-408?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Alpine A390 and 84% for the Peugeot e-408. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
