Hyundai Kona Electric vs Peugeot e-2008

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Peugeot e-2008 has the higher published DC charging figure at 107 kW, which is roughly 2% higher than the Hyundai Kona Electric at 105 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-2008 is listed at about 28 minutes, which is 9 minutes quicker than the Hyundai Kona Electric at 37 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Hyundai Kona Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 514 km, which is roughly 108 km more than the Peugeot e-2008 at approximately 406 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 Hyundai Kona Electric consumes 147 Wh/km, compared to 169 Wh/km for the Peugeot e-2008. That means the Hyundai Kona Electric 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 Hyundai Kona Electric has approximately 65.4 kWh of useable battery , while the Peugeot e-2008 has approximately 50.8 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Peugeot e-2008 has the higher published DC figure (up to 107 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 28 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 Hyundai Kona Electric is the more efficient choice at 147 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Hyundai Kona Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 514 km, which is roughly 108 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
