ELECTRIC EURO ROADTRIP: ENGLAND TO ITALY IN A PEUGEOT E-208

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a road trip from England to Italy in a Peugeot e-208, detailing the challenges and triumphs of long-distance EV travel. The reviewer highlights the usefulness of A Better Route Planner (ABRP) and Tronity for trip planning and data tracking, though notes initial connectivity issues. Practical concerns such as the lack of a permanent battery percentage display on the dashboard are addressed, with a workaround found. Charging experiences varied, with a preference for Shell card-compatible chargers and a critique of some IONITY chargers for their high power output not being fully utilized by the e-208. The reviewer found the e-208 to be a capable and enjoyable car for the journey, praising its handling and CarPlay integration, but noted some back discomfort on longer stretches. Despite minor frustrations with charging infrastructure and navigation glitches, the overall verdict is positive, suggesting that long EV journeys are becoming increasingly feasible and less arduous.
