These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 208 miles for the MG S5 EV and 205 miles for the Peugeot e-2008 - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the MG S5 EV or the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-2008 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 79 mm narrower than the MG S5 EV. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 630 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-2008 and about 551 mm of total clearance for the MG S5 EV.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MG S5 EV and 84% for the Peugeot e-2008. 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.
