These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Jeep Compass and Peugeot e-Rifter like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 193 miles for the Jeep Compass and 166 miles for the Peugeot e-Rifter - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Jeep Compass goes roughly 27 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 30-35 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Jeep Compass or the Peugeot e-Rifter?
The two are within 21 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 500 mm of total clearance for the Jeep Compass and about 479 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-Rifter.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Jeep Compass or the Peugeot e-Rifter?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Jeep Compass and 84% for the Peugeot e-Rifter. 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.
