Peugeot e-208 Home Charging UK: Cost per Charge, Time & Best Chargers
Vehicle guide
A 50.8 kWh e-208 fills in about 7 hours on a 7 kW wallbox and costs under £4 on an off-peak tariff. 7.4 kW single-phase as standard, no Intelligent Go through the car, and a deferred-charging timer that can quietly block a wallbox.

Charging time estimates
Approximate AC charging times
| Charge window | 3-pin (~2.3kW) | 7kW |
|---|---|---|
| 20–80% | 14h 20m | 4h 40m |
| 0–100% | 23h 50m | 7h 50m |
Assumes 8% charging losses and rounded 5-minute estimates. 3-pin assumes about 2.3kW; 7kW uses up to 7kW; three-phase only appears when the vehicle can accept more than 7.4kW AC.
Vehicle-specific tariff cost
Peugeot e-208 (156 hp) charging cost at 10,000 miles.
EV electricity only, using 4 miles per kWh and assuming every charging kWh reaches the listed lower rate. Household electricity and the postcode-dependent standing charge sit outside these figures.

The hardware
The e-208's Type 2 inlet is on the left rear wing, so reversing in puts the socket nearest the house. The standard on-board charger is 7.4 kW single-phase, which is exactly what a UK wallbox delivers; the 11 kW three-phase charger is a factory option that only pays off if the house has three-phase. A Type 2 cable is supplied; the 3-pin lead is sold separately.
DC peaks at 100 kW.
Variants (2026)
| Variant | Battery (usable) | Max AC | Max DC | WLTP range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| e-208 136 hp (50 kWh) | 46.3 kWh | 7.4 kW (11 opt.) | 100 kW | 217–226 miles |
| e-208 156 hp ("51 kWh") | 50.8 kWh | 7.4 kW (11 opt.) | 100 kW | 258–268 miles |

Usable capacities. The 156 hp car's pack grew to 54 kWh gross / 50.8 usable in 2025; earlier cars of the same name have 48.1 kWh usable. Real-world range is about 180, 200 and 190 miles. Prices from about £25,000 with the Electric Car Grant. Figures below are for the 156 hp car.

Costs
The tariff does most of the work. The e-208 returns about 4 mi/kWh in real-world UK driving.
Cost per full charge (50.8kWh)
| Tariff | Rate | 0–100% | 20–80% |
|---|---|---|---|
| EDF GoElectric | 6.66p/kWh | £3.38 | £2.03 |
| Octopus Intelligent Go | 7.6p/kWh | £3.86 | £2.32 |
| Octopus Go | 9.5p/kWh | £4.83 | £2.90 |
| British Gas EV Power | 9.5p/kWh | £4.83 | £2.90 |
| Standard variable (Ofgem cap) | 26.32p/kWh | £13.37 | £8.02 |
| Public rapid charger | 79p/kWh | £40.13 | £24.08 |
Annual charging cost at 10,000 miles
| Tariff | Cost per mile | Annual cost |
|---|---|---|
| Octopus Intelligent Go | 1.9p/mile | £190 |
| Octopus Go | 2.4p/mile | £238 |
| Standard variable | 6.6p/mile | £658 |
| Public rapid only | 19.8p/mile | £1,975 |
| Petrol equivalent | ~19p | ~£1,900 |
Petrol assumes 40 mpg at £1.45 a litre. The electricity figures are charging only: no standing charge, and no allowance for the 5–10% lost between the wall and the battery.
The gap between the standard rate and a good EV tariff is several hundred pounds a year on typical mileage, and it costs nothing to close. The interactive savings calculator runs the numbers for your mileage; the UK EV Charging Cost Index compares every tariff per mile.
NMC battery and the deferred-charging timer
The e-208's NMC pack wants an 80% daily limit, which recent cars let you set in the infotainment, with 100% for trips.
The habit that trips owners is Peugeot's deferred charging: a timer set in the car's charging menu (or through MyPeugeot's e-Remote) that tells the car to wait until a set hour. Leave it active after a trip and the car will sit plugged into a wallbox doing nothing until that hour, which looks like a charger fault. If the charger is the scheduler, switch deferred charging off in the car. A flat 12V battery after a long spell plugged in is also reported on this platform; a short drive each week keeps it topped up.
Smart tariffs and the e-208
Intelligent Octopus Go has no integration with the car, so the scheduling has to come from the charger. That rules in the Ohme Home Pro, Ohme ePod, myenergi zappi, Hypervolt Home 3 Pro, Indra, Andersen and Octopus's own Octopus Charge, and rules out a basic wallbox if you want the 7.6p rate with no manual timers. Stellantis brands are not on OVO Charge Anytime either; OVO said in early 2026 there was no timeline (OVO forum). For fixed-window tariffs such as Octopus Go and EDF GoElectric, the car's deferred-charging timer works well on its own.
Choosing a charger
Every home charger on this site works with the e-208: Type 2 is universal for UK AC charging. For the managed tariffs the charger has to carry the link; for a fixed window the car's own timer is fine.
- Ohme Home Pro at £559: Octopus, OVO and E.ON links in the charger, which this car cannot provide itself.
- Ohme ePod at £949 installed: the same links in a compact untethered package, well suited to a small car on a small drive.
- Easee One at £480: the cheapest OZEV-approved unit for renters and flat owners on a fixed-window tariff, with the e-208's timer doing the scheduling.

Common questions
Can I charge an e-208 from a 3-pin plug?
Yes, with Peugeot's optional lead or any portable charger, at about 2.3 kW; a full charge takes most of a day. 3-pin guide.
Does the e-208 work with Intelligent Octopus Go?
Not through the car. A smart charger with its own Octopus integration makes it work normally.
Why is my e-208 not charging on my wallbox?
Check whether deferred charging is switched on in the car; it will wait for its set hour regardless of the charger.
Does the e-208 have Vehicle-to-Load?
A 3.6 kW V2L adapter is listed for the 54 kWh cars and the GTi; check with the dealer for your model year. No vehicle-to-grid.
