The Peugeot e-3008 made headlines at the Paris Motor Show with its impressive 98 kWh battery pack, making it the cheapest electric vehicle in the world to feature such a large battery. Priced at approximately 55,000 euros or $59,000 USD, this SUV offers a WLTP range of 435 miles, setting it apart from other electric vehicles in terms of battery size and affordability.
Stellantis, the parent company of Peugeot, has its own battery company called ACC, a joint venture with TotalEnergies and Mercedes. The ACC battery, which promises up to 435 miles of range, is produced at a Gigafactory in Douvrin, France. This battery has a net capacity of 98 kWh and uses lithium-manganese-cobalt chemistry, allowing for fast charging at 2.4 kWh per minute. It takes approximately 27 minutes to charge from 20% to 80% and has an estimated energy consumption of 14 kWh per 100 km.
The ACC battery will initially debut in the Peugeot e-3008 and e-408, with plans to integrate it into other models such as the Opel Grandland and future Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio models. The battery is part of a 400-volt electrical architecture and offers efficient performance for a wide range of electric vehicles.
Compared to other electric vehicles with similar-sized batteries, the Peugeot e-3008 stands out for its competitive pricing. Most competitors with comparable battery sizes and ranges are priced significantly higher, making the e-3008 a cost-effective option for those looking for a high-capacity electric vehicle. With its combination of affordability and performance, the Peugeot e-3008 is set to make a significant impact in the electric vehicle market.
