Video Summary
- The car is a Peugeot e-5008 from Stellantis.- It has a 77-kilowatt hour battery and charges at 160 kilowatts.
- 213 horsepower, which should complete 1,000 KM in 10 hours and 40 minutes.
- The car is spacious and available as a seven-seater.
- At a 100% charge, the car indicated 497 KM of range.
- After a run, the BMS showed 71.92-kilowatt hours out of 77, but the display still claimed 100%, so the test started with lower battery life than optimal.
- The driver's only concern is the battery temperature as it can be cold and there is no preheating before fast charging, and the driver does not want to "cold-gate" the car.
- With headwind, consumption is high at 270-kilowatt hours per 100km, but that is not too bad for a car this size.
- Stellantis cars typically have "okay" but not Tesla-level efficiency.
- The wireless charging pad is in a weird position, it requires the user to reach and is easy to accidentally press nearby buttons.
- The car is nagging the driver about battery being low and trying to find nearby charging station even as it is currently plugged into a charger.
- The car is reporting that the traction control system has failed.
- Even at a 28 Celsius battery temperature, it's not getting 160-kilowatt charging, so it seems as if it needs to be at 29C for a full charge.
- The car does not have manual power, instead the power is automatically stopped when the car is pulled from the charger, requiring a "French Charge."
- During testing at 0 degrees celcius, the battery temperature decreased by 8 C due to the lack of a preheat.
- When adaptive cruise control failed, other ADAS systems also failed.
- Overall the car is good but it seems that using the Stellanis system in general feels outdated.
