Peugeot e-2008 50 kWh EV charger: which one fits best?

The Peugeot e-2008 50 kWh charges at home through the charger built into the car. That onboard charger is not the same in every e-2008. Peugeot used two versions during this generation, and which one you have depends on the market and the trim level. One charges with 7.4 kW on a single phase, the other with 11 kW on three phases. That difference decides which Peugeot e-2008 EV charger is worth your money. Our overview of all Peugeot EV chargers covers the rest of the range.

Single-phase means the car uses one live wire of your home connection. Three-phase means it uses all three at the same time. Your vehicle papers or the original specification sheet name the onboard charger. You can also read the charging power on the display while the car is plugged in.

Does your e-2008 have the single-phase onboard charger? Then we recommend a charger from our 7.4 kW EV chargers.

Does it have the three-phase onboard charger? Then we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Cannot find out which one you have? A 22 kW EV charger runs both versions at their full power. So the car is never the limiting factor. It does need a three-phase 32 A supply, which not every home has. In some countries a single-phase connection at that current carries extra requirements. Check what applies where you live before you order.

Charging specifications of the Peugeot e-2008 50 kWh

The model year matters here. Peugeot facelifted the e-2008 in 2023 and gave it a larger battery, more power and a longer range. This page is about the earlier model with a 50 kWh gross battery capacity and 136 hp. The later model also retained a 50 kWh version, so the battery size alone does not identify this generation.

Which EV charger suits the Peugeot e-2008 50 kWh?

Start by finding out how your own car charges. That one detail changes the whole advice. A three-phase e-2008 reaches its full 11 kW on an 11 kW EV charger. A single-phase e-2008 takes only one 16 A phase from that same charger, so it is limited to 3.7 kW. On a 22 kW EV charger it can take one 32 A phase and reach its full 7.4 kW. A 7.4 kW home charger does the same job for that car and costs less.

Peugeot's Dutch price list gives the following charging times from 0–100%:

So a stronger charger is not automatically a faster one. For the three-phase car, a 22 kW EV charger adds no extra speed. For the single-phase car, an 11 kW charger is the slowest of the three options. It is also the most expensive way to get there. The mirror image holds too. Put the three-phase car on a 7.4 kW single-phase charger and it drops to 3.7 kW, so it needs about 15 hours. What decides the outcome is the amperage the onboard charger takes per phase, not the phase count alone.

One caveat on the single-phase figures. The 7 hours 30 minutes comes from Peugeot's British list, the other times from the Dutch one. The 15 hours 5 minutes is an ADAC figure for the three-phase car. Peugeot's own lists do not fully agree either. That same single-phase car is given 9 hours 30 minutes on a 22 kW charger, at the same delivered power. Read them as an indication rather than an exact promise.

One property is worth checking before you order: the MID meter. That is a calibrated kWh meter inside the charger. It measures the electricity you charge at home separately from your household use. So you know exactly what charging costs you. Almost every EV charger with a MID meter in our range is a 22 kW model. At 11 kW the choice is very narrow, and at 7.4 kW we do not have one at all.

App control is available at all three power levels. With an EV charger with an app you start, stop and follow a charging session from your phone.

The e-2008 has a Type 2 socket, like most modern chargers. At home you charge through the cable fixed to the charger or with your own cable, so nothing special is needed. Browse our full range of EV home chargers to compare the options side by side.

We ship worldwide, but we do not install everywhere. Installation through Wallbox Discounter covers the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany, and nothing beyond that. In Germany it runs through a free quotation instead of a bookable product. We always recommend having the charger connected by a qualified electrician. The rules differ per country, so check what applies where you live.

How long does the Peugeot e-2008 50 kWh take to charge?

On a charger that matches your car, a full charge takes about five hours with the three-phase onboard charger. With the single-phase onboard charger it takes about seven and a half hours. Peugeot publishes slightly different times per market, roughly between 4 hours 45 and 5 hours 15 for the three-phase car. All of those figures include charging losses, so they run higher than the battery size divided by the charging power.

Either way, overnight charging is comfortable. You plug in when you get home and drive off in the morning with a full battery. On the road the e-2008 takes up to 100 kW from a CCS fast charger. That brings it to 80 percent in about half an hour.

Other versions of the Peugeot e-2008

Wallbox Discounter has charging advice for the other versions of the e-2008 as well:

• Peugeot e-2008 54 kWh ('23), the facelift with a bigger battery and more range
• Peugeot e-2008 SUV

Frequently asked questions

Does the Peugeot e-2008 50 kWh need a three-phase connection?

Only if your car has the three-phase onboard charger. That version needs three phases to reach its full 11 kW. With the single-phase onboard charger, a single-phase connection already gives you the full 7.4 kW. An 11 kW charger would then hold the car back to 3.7 kW. The charging speed drops instead of rising.

Why does a MID meter matter for the e-2008?

A MID meter is a calibrated kWh meter built into the charger. It counts the electricity you charge at home separately from your household consumption. That way you know exactly what a full charge of your e-2008 costs, down to the kWh. In our range you mainly find this meter on 22 kW chargers, so check the specification before you order.
