Overview
The 2020 Peugeot e-Rifter Electric was a no-nonsense, practical electric minivan aimed at families or businesses needing zero-emission versatility on a budget. While its production has ceased, it offers a glimpse into early electric van-life. Key highlights for this "Electric" trim were its sheer interior volume and low running costs for short hops. As a discontinued model, it's now found on the pre-owned market, with used prices around 12,990 € in Europe. It’s basic electric motoring, but with French charm and a focus on utility rather than outright pace or cutting-edge tech.
What's New for 2020?
For the 2020 model year, this particular Peugeot e-Rifter Electric variant, with its 20.5 kWh usable battery, was essentially in its final curtain call. Major updates were scarce for this specific trim as Peugeot was gearing up for newer generation EVs with significantly larger batteries and improved tech. So, 2020 models largely carried over features from previous years, representing the last chance to grab this early, more modest iteration of Peugeot's electric people-mover. It was more about consolidation than revolution for this specific "Electric" trim before its discontinuation.
Design & Exterior
The e-Rifter Electric doesn't hide its van-based origins, sporting a practical, boxy silhouette designed for maximum interior space. Its exterior is functional rather than flashy, typical of the "Electric" trim. You get a friendly Peugeot face, but don't expect fancy alloys or LED light signatures as standard here. Dimensions are urban-friendly for its class: it stretches 4380 mm in length, stands 1822 mm tall, and measures 1857 mm across (excluding mirrors). It’s a familiar, unpretentious shape that prioritises getting the job done efficiently.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Inside the 2020 e-Rifter Electric, it’s all about space and durability. The cabin offers a commanding driving position and materials built to withstand family life. Five seats are standard, providing decent comfort for passengers. Tech-wise, it’s fairly basic; expect a simple infotainment screen, though smartphone connectivity like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto might have been available. The real party trick is cargo: a useful 544 litres in the boot expands to a cavernous 2400 litres with seats folded. Sadly, there's no frunk for extra cable storage.
Performance & Driving Experience
Don't expect to win traffic light grands prix in the 2020 e-Rifter Electric. Its single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) sends 49 kW and 200 Nm of torque to the front wheels (FWD). This results in a leisurely 0-100 km/h sprint of 19.5 seconds and a top speed of 110 km/h. Driving is geared towards relaxed city cruising; it’s smooth and quiet, with a comfortable ride. Regenerative braking helps claw back some energy, but this is more of a sensible workhorse than a dynamic performer.
Range, Battery & Charging
The e-Rifter Electric features a 20.5 kWh usable battery pack, translating to a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of around 109 km – strictly for local duties. Energy consumption is a decent 5.32 km/kWh. AC charging via its CCS Type 2 port is handled by a standard 3.7 kW on-board charger, meaning a full top-up takes roughly 5.5 to 6 hours. For quicker boosts, DC fast charging maxes out at 40 kW, which can get you from 10-80% in about 20-25 minutes.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
While a specific Euro NCAP rating for the 2017-2020 e-Rifter Electric isn't readily available, the structurally similar ICE Peugeot Rifter platform scored a respectable 4 stars in 2018. Standard safety kit on this "Electric" trim would have included essentials like ABS, ESP, and multiple airbags. Driver-assistance systems were likely modest for this early version, possibly including features like speed limit recognition and basic lane departure warnings. More advanced aids such as adaptive cruise control were probably optional extras or reserved for higher specifications not applicable here.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
When new, the Peugeot e-Rifter Electric likely came with a standard European warranty, typically 2 years with unlimited kilometres for the vehicle. The crucial battery pack would have been covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. Powertrain warranty often mirrored the battery's duration. As an EV, maintenance is generally simpler and cheaper than its petrol or diesel counterparts, focusing on tyres, brakes, and cabin filters. No complimentary maintenance is typically offered on used examples.
