Peugeot e-Partner (2022 – 2024) Review
Peugeot e-Partner (2022 – 2024) At A Glance
Peugeot has one of the most diverse portfolios of electric vans in the market right now, with electrified versions of all three of its mainstream delivery vans – the Peugeot Partner, Peugeot Expert and Peugeot Boxster. But is its smallest model fit for the job? Read our Peugeot e-Partner review to find out…
Introduced at the end of 2021, the Peugeot e-Partner is based on the compact Peugeot Partner van, which shares most of its architecture with the Citroen Berlingo, Fiat Doblo and Vauxhall Combo.
The fully electric model uses a 50kWh battery pack and a front-mounted electric motor, developing 135PS and giving a WLTP-measured range of 170 miles. The motor develops a handy 260Nm of torque and comes with a maximum payload of 803kg.
It’s a tidy and neatly styled van with a choice of body lengths (4.4 or 4.7 metres), while the battery is compatible with all types of fast charger, meaning you can get it from 20% to 80% charge in about half an hour. Overnight charging, meanwhile, will take around seven-and-a-half hours from a standard domestic wallbox.
Two trim levels are offered – the business-like Professional and the more driver-focused Asphalt, which gets improved interior trim and body-coloured bumpers.
All models are offered with the option of Peugeot’s ‘Multi-flex’ modular folding three-seater front bench, which allows drivers to increase storage capacity, with load space increasing up to 500 litres inside the cabin using storage space under the centre seat cushion and a load through bulkhead.
Prices are around £12,000 pricier than diesel models, which limits the van’s appeal to those operating in congestion charging areas or covering significant enough distance to negate the additional cost of refuelling.
