| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Volvo EC40 has the higher published DC charging figure at 207 kW, which is roughly 93% higher than the Peugeot e-2008 at 107 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 4 minutes quicker than the Volvo EC40 at 32 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Volvo EC40 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 583 km, which is roughly 177 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 Volvo EC40 consumes 162 Wh/km, compared to 169 Wh/km for the Peugeot e-2008. That means the Volvo EC40 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 Volvo EC40 has approximately 79 kWh of useable battery , while the Peugeot e-2008 has approximately 50.8 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
The Volvo EC40 has the higher published DC figure at up to 207 kW, but the Peugeot e-2008 has the shorter published charge time at approximately 28 minutes versus approximately 32 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 7.4 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 Volvo EC40 is the more efficient choice at 162 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Volvo EC40 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 583 km, which is roughly 177 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
