Updated March 2026
The Peugeot e-Expert is a mid-size electric van that balances payload capacity with manageable dimensions for job site access. With 250 km WLTP rated range, 1,001 kg payload, and a 75 kWh battery, it handles typical trades workloads well. Our app users report that the lower loading height compared to larger vans makes loading heavy tools easier.

Charging Strategy for Construction and Trades
Charge overnight at home or the yard on an 11 kW AC charger. An 80 km day uses about 24 kWh, replenished in just over two hours. The 75 kWh battery provides solid range for unplanned detours. DC charging at 100 kW takes about 45 minutes from 10-80% if you need a midday boost on a longer day.
Overnight AC charging (recommended)
Plugging in at a depot or home charger (7-22 kW) overnight fully replenishes the battery. At 11 kW, the Peugeot e-Expert charges from empty in approximately 6.8 hours, easily done overnight. For faster turnaround, a 22 kW charger is recommended.
Mid-day DC top-up
If overnight charging is not available, a DC fast charge during a break can add enough range. At 100 kW peak, the Peugeot e-Expert charges from 10% to 80% in roughly 53 minutes.

Practical Tips
- The mid-size format makes the e-Expert easier to maneuver on congested construction sites than a full-size van
- Track consumption when fully loaded versus empty to understand your WLTP rated range for different job types
- A 22 kW charger is recommended for consistent overnight charging, especially after heavy-use days
- The e-Expert shares its platform with the Citroen e-Dispatch and Vauxhall Vivaro-e, widening service network options
Operational Notes
The e-Expert covers the 80 km daily requirement with its 250 km range. Its 1,001 kg payload exceeds one tonne, suitable for most trades work. The mid-size format offers a good compromise between cargo space and maneuverability on construction sites.
