Peugeot 308 PHEV- electric range test

Ecodriver tries to find out how far you can get electric only in the Peugeot 308 Plug-In Hybrid.
I set my target to 60 kms/37 mls, let's see whether I was too optimistic.

Hi, thank you for bringing this valuable info for anyone considering this car (as me). I also saw the test with empty battery. When searching this info I was mainly curious about the liters per 100 km when the battery is fully charged and when I drive in hybrid mode. The thing is, my main daily route to and from my job is 60 km in total, with around 30% highway ride. So, there is no chance for me to do it all on battery only. My plan is to charge at home during the night, and then have full battery for my 60 km daily ride. Is it better to have it on battery until depletes and then use ICE or do it all in hybrid mode?

Hi Marko, I use a PHEV myself and I try to cover speeds of over ca. 80km/h with the petrol engine (in Hybrid-Mode it wouldn't do it normally as long as the battery has some capacity, so I activate the "Hold"-function and use electric mode for lower speeds, where it has a bigger advantage over the petrol-engine.

Hi @Ecodriver, can you give me more details on the 308 and how it works in heating mode? Does it use electric engine, or does it switch on combustion automatically?

[@ecodriver1746]

Hi Justin, sorry, I have not used heating as weather was fine, and I also think that those features may vary depending on the market (other makers distinct on the market, e.g. in Germany you get heating by the battery, in Spain you don't).

Why you have started this test not with full battery?

4:25 If you want more regeneration have you tried the ‚B‘-mode? You were driving in ‚D‘.

[@ecodriver1746]

B-Mode doesn't regen more, it brakes the car and therefore more energy is regenerated. But this also slows the car down, so energy is wasted, as you never get back what you have invested beforehand. You get the same amount of energy regenerated when you step on the brakes. But braking is to be avoided.
