DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense vs Peugeot e-5008

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Peugeot e-5008 has the higher published DC charging figure at 160 kW, which is roughly 60% higher than the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense 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 published fast-charge window, the Peugeot e-5008 is listed at about 27 minutes, which is 3 minutes quicker than the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Peugeot e-5008 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 440 km, which is roughly 46 km more than the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense at approximately 394 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 DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense consumes 169 Wh/km, compared to 197 Wh/km for the Peugeot e-5008. That means the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense 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 Peugeot e-5008 has approximately 73 kWh of useable battery , while the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense has approximately 51 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Peugeot e-5008 has the higher published DC figure (up to 160 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 27 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

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 DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense is the more efficient choice at 169 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Peugeot e-5008 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 440 km, which is roughly 46 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
