Frequently asked questions
Is the Nissan LEAF worth the extra £6,434 over the Peugeot e-2008?
The Nissan LEAF costs £6,434 more than the Peugeot e-2008. For that premium it adds 129 miles more WLTP range, 50 kW faster peak rapid charging and 45 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Nissan LEAF comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Nissan LEAF or the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-2008 is £6,434 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £136 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Peugeot e-2008 comes out roughly £6,354 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Nissan LEAF and Peugeot e-2008 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 313 miles for the Nissan LEAF and 205 miles for the Peugeot e-2008 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Nissan LEAF goes roughly 107 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Nissan LEAF or the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-2008 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 40 mm narrower than the Nissan LEAF. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 630 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-2008 and about 590 mm of total clearance for the Nissan LEAF. The Peugeot e-2008 also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Nissan LEAF or the Peugeot e-2008?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Nissan LEAF 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.
