PEUGEOT e-2008 2024–2025 – MOST COMMON PROBLEMS, FAULTS, AND MOST COMMON FAILURES: COMPLETE GUIDE

The 2024–2025 Peugeot e-2008 is one of the Stellantis group's most well-balanced electric vehicles: good real-world range, high levels of comfort, and one of the most modern powertrains on the e-CMP platform. Despite its good reputation, several recurring problems have emerged in practice, many of which are common to its "cousins" the Jeep Avenger, Opel Mokka Electric, and Fiat 600e. In this guide, we analyze all the real-world defects reported by owners and specialized workshops, explaining causes, symptoms, and practical solutions.

🔋 REAL RANGE AND HIGHWAY CONSUMPTION

The Peugeot e-2008 is known for being one of the most efficient electric cars on the e-CMP platform, but many owners report higher-than-expected fuel consumption in some situations.

Recurring symptoms

• real autonomy less than 300 km with temperatures below 10°C;
• very high consumption on the motorway (18–23 kWh/100 km at 130 km/h);
• optimistic range meter when battery is cold.

These are typical behaviors of lithium-ion batteries in winter, but the e-2008 is more affected than declared in the official specifications.

⚡ AC/DC CHARGING PROBLEMS

The e-2008 is one of the most consistent on DC columns, but there is no shortage of reported defects.

1. Unstable AC charging

• sudden outages with home wallboxes;
• limitations to 3.6 kW also on 7.4 kW sockets;
• “Impossible to recharge” error after long periods of sitting in the cold.

2. DC charging slower than expected

• peak that rarely exceeds 70–80 kW real;
• battery that limits power if too cold or hot;
• charging curve that already slows down to 55–60%.

Many of these problems are resolved with BMS (Battery Management System) updates.

🎛 INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY BUGS

The Peugeot e-2008 uses a more mature infotainment system than the Avenger and 600e, but several issues remain.

Most frequent reports

• Android Auto or CarPlay disconnecting randomly;
• touchscreen slow as soon as the car is turned on;
• browser that freezes and requires restarting;
• lag in voice commands;
• spontaneous system resets while driving.

Often the cause is a combination of outdated software + damaged or low-quality USB cables.

🚨 ADAS TOO SENSITIVE OR INCONSISTENT

Stellantis ADAS have received many revisions in recent months, but some inconsistent behaviors persist.

Recurring problems

• Lane Keep Assist intervening too early or too late;
• adaptive cruise control that brakes sharply when a car comes back in front;
• collision alarms too sensitive in cities;
• “sensors unavailable” messages after rain or dirt.

Most owners notice an improvement after a radar/camera upgrade in the workshop.

🛞 SUSPENSION, NOISE AND COMFORT

The e-2008 has a balanced set-up, but suffers some critical issues on the worst roads.

Most reported issues

• vibrations perceptible on cobblestones and manholes;
• noises from the dashboard after 20–30,000 km;
• creaking door panels on bumpy roads;
• rear axle “jumping” over joints and deep potholes.

The rear torsion beam, common to e-CMPs, tends to stiffen more quickly on heavy cars like electric ones.

🛑 BRAKES AND REGENERATION MANAGEMENT

One of the least discussed but most felt defects by owners concerns the brakes.

Highlighted defects

• brake pedal not very modulable at low speeds;
• rough transition between regenerative braking and mechanical braking;
• squealing from the front brakes in humidity or low temperatures.

These are not “faults”, but the typical behaviour of cars that combine electric braking + traditional disc.

🔍 HV BATTERY: DEGRADATION AND THERMAL MANAGEMENT

1. Slightly above average degradation

Data collected on cars with over 40–60,000 km shows an average degradation of 6–9%, slightly higher than other compact EVs.

2. Batteries sensitive to cold

• autonomy reduced by up to 25% in winter;
• poor DC performance below 10°C;
• need for preconditioning before charging.

3. High temperatures in summer

In very hot climates the BMS tends to limit power and regeneration to protect the battery.

🛠 PRACTICAL TIPS TO PREVENT PROBLEMS

1. Regular software updates

Many infotainment, ADAS, and charging issues improve with official updates.

2. Use certified USB cables

It greatly reduces CarPlay/Android Auto disconnections.

3. Home AC charging when possible

Promotes battery life and reduces degradation.

4. Check shock absorbers and silent blocks periodically

Stressed suspensions are the main source of interior noise.

5. Precondition your battery for winter

Improves power consumption, performance and charging speed.
