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 272 miles for the Peugeot e-3008 - both 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-3008?

Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the MG S5 EV or the Peugeot e-3008?
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-3008.
