Citroën e-C4 vs Peugeot e-208

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Peugeot e-208 has the higher published DC fast-charging figure at 100 kW, which is comparable to the Citroën e-C4 at 100 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Peugeot e-208 finishes in about 30 minutes, roughly matching the Citroën e-C4. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Citroën e-C4 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 420 km, which is roughly 10 km more than the Peugeot e-208 at approximately 410 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Citroën e-C4 consumes 159 Wh/km, compared to 161 Wh/km for the Peugeot e-208. That means the Citroën e-C4 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Citroën e-C4 has approximately 50.8 kWh of useable battery , matching its rival.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both cars show similar published DC fast-charging figures at 100 kW. For road trips, the one with more range between stops may be more practical.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Citroën e-C4 is the more efficient choice at 159 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Citroën e-C4 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 420 km, which is roughly 10 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
