Every Peugeot e-2008 takes a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and for almost every owner the 32A single phase version is the one to order. It draws the full 7.4 kW a UK home supply can provide, which is also the standard onboard charger rating on the car, so cable and vehicle match exactly. Battery size is the only thing that changes the timings. Cars from the 2020 launch until mid 2023 use the 50 kWh pack, 46.3 kWh of it usable, and need about 7 hours from empty at 7.4 kW. In June 2023 Peugeot fitted the larger 54 kWh pack, 50.8 kWh usable, alongside the step from 136hp to 156hp, and that car takes roughly 7 hours 45 minutes. Because the change came about two years before the e-208 received the same pack, a 2023 or 2024 e-2008 is very likely the longer range car. An 11 kW three phase charger sat on the options list throughout, and it was fitted as standard only on the 54 kWh First Edition. It is a three phase rating, so it does nothing on a normal UK home supply. If you have that car and use three phase posts, the 32A three phase cable brings a full charge down to around 5 hours 15 minutes. Everyone else should ignore it and buy the standard 32A cable. The 16A cable works but is slow for a battery this size, at about 14 hours 15 minutes on the 50 kWh car. The Type 2 to 3 Pin cable is a backup for nights away from a charge point and needs the best part of a day. Note that the PureTech petrol, the BlueHDi diesel and the 48V Hybrid versions of the 2008 have no charging socket and take no cable. Pick 5m for a wallbox beside the parking space and 10m for anything further away. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55, Type 2 to 3 Pin cables are IP67, and every cable comes with free next working day UK delivery and a 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

A Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and the 32A single phase version for nearly everyone. The standard onboard charger is 7.4 kW and a UK home supply delivers 7.4 kW, so the 32A cable is a perfect match. Expect about 7 hours from empty on the 50 kWh car. How do I tell a 50 kWh e-2008 from a 54 kWh one? Date and power output. Cars registered from launch to mid 2023 have the 50 kWh pack and 136hp. From June 2023 Peugeot moved to 54 kWh and 156hp, roughly two years earlier than the same change on the e-208, so most 2023 and 2024 cars are the larger battery. Is the three phase cable worth it? Only if your car has the optional 11 kW charger, standard solely on the 54 kWh First Edition, and only where a three phase supply exists. It cuts a full charge to about 5 hours 15 minutes on the 54 kWh car. At home in the UK the supply is single phase, so it changes nothing. Can I use a 16A cable instead? Yes, and it will charge the car, but at 3.7 kW rather than 7.4 kW. That is roughly 14 hours 15 minutes on the 50 kWh e-2008 and 15 hours 30 minutes on the 54 kWh version. It is a reasonable spare to keep in the boot, not the cable to rely on. Does the petrol 2008 use the same cable? No. The PureTech petrol, the BlueHDi diesel and the 48V Hybrid have no charging socket, so none of these cables will fit. Only the e-2008, the fully electric version, plugs in. If your car has no charging inlet it cannot use anything sold on this page. Which length should I order? 5m if the charge point is close to the car and the parking position never changes. 10m if you park across a drive, kerbside, or need the cable to reach round the car at a public post. Buy the shortest length that reaches comfortably, since longer cables are heavier.
