Peugeot e-Boxer gains larger battery and longer range


Peugeot has given its e-Boxer electric van a new, larger battery that brings an improved range.
The 75kWh battery adds an extra 15 miles to the e-Boxer’s range, giving a total of 154 miles between charges. The battery is linked to a 122bhp electric motor capable of delivering all 350Nm of torque instantly. Plus, the e-Boxer’s battery can be taken from zero to 80 per cent in one hour via a 50kW charger.


There’s also the option to have the e-Boxer in a window-van layout, with prices for this version starting from £67,930.


The e-Boxer also incorporates regenerative braking, which harnesses the energy usually lost during deceleration and uses it to top up the batteries while on the move.
The positioning of the batteries and motor mean that the e-Boxer is no less practical than the conventionally-powered versions, but brings the ability to drive into low emissions zones without incurring an extra charge.
