The battery pack, located under the floor and built with the new NMC811 cells, will be able to count on a 400V architecture with a capacity of 54 kWh , with the promise of pushing the autonomy with a single charge up to 400 km (WLTP cycle) and consumption no more than 12.4 kWh per 100 km.

More powerful and efficient, therefore, than its “sister” Peugeot e-208, as well as capable of equaling its dry weight (1,600 kg) to the twin version of the 308 with plug-in hybrid power. Furthermore, the presence of the battery pack in a lowered position will allow it not to affect the capacity of the boot , while the availability of connection to the ultra-fast columns will allow it to recover up to 80% of energy in just 30 minutes.
