Peugeot E-208 in October 2026: A 2,080,000 TL Electric…

A Familiar Hatchback Just Over the 2 Million TL Mark

As of October 2026, one model sits in the same place on every list of Turkey's most affordable electric cars: the Peugeot E-208. Peugeot published its price list on October 4 and updated it on October 13. In that list, the recommended on-the-road price of the E-208 GT 100 kW is 2,080,000 TL. It is also the only car in the top 10 of the "cheapest EVs under 2 million TL" lists that actually costs more than 2 million TL.

The price has gone up a little in recent months. In the June and July 2026 lists, the same version cost 1,999,500 TL. It rose to 2,080,000 TL in September and stayed there in October. September also had an offer: 0.99% interest on 300,000 TL over 12 months, or a 20,000 TL cash discount. The October list shows no promotional price. In short, the E-208 is sold as a familiar, city-focused hatchback that fills the gap between the "cheap EV" class and compact SUVs.

This article skips the brochure figures and goes straight to the question most buyers have: how long does the E-208 take to charge at a public station in Turkey, and how much does it cost?

Specifications: What the Numbers Say

The Turkish price list calls the car the "E-208 GT 100 kW". Current Turkish listings give these figures for that version:

Battery: about 50 kWh (gross)
WLTP range: 363 km combined, up to 498 km in the city
Motor output: 100 kW (136 hp), 260 Nm of torque
DC fast charging: up to 100 kW (CCS)
AC charging: 7.4 kW single-phase as standard, 11 kW three-phase as an option
10-80% DC charge: about 27 minutes at a 100 kW station

One caveat first. Europe also sells an updated version of the E-208. It has a 115 kW (156 hp) motor, a 51 kWh gross / 48.1 kWh usable battery and about 400 km of WLTP range. Peugeot says this version charges from 20% to 80% in about 25 minutes at a 100 kW charger. The Turkish list, however, says "GT 100 kW" and 363 km. Before you buy, ask the dealer to confirm the motor output and WLTP figure that will go on the registration. For charging, the two versions are very close: both are capped at 100 kW DC and both have a battery of about 50 kWh.

Real-world range

The 363 km WLTP figure comes from a standard test and doesn't fully match everyday driving. Independent tests put the real-world range of an E-208 with this battery at about 310-340 km. In the city, with low speeds and regenerative braking, you can get close to the WLTP figure. On the motorway at 120 km/h, or in winter with the heating or air conditioning on, 250-280 km is a more realistic expectation.

Charging Power: What Does 100 kW Mean?

The E-208's peak DC charging power is 100 kW. In an independent Fastned test, the car did reach a peak of about 99 kW. But the power started to taper slowly from around 12-13% state of charge. In the same test, the average power between 20% and 80% was 53 kW.

In practice, this means:

At an older 50 kW DC station, the car stays at the station's limit for almost the whole session. A 20-80% charge takes about 35-40 minutes.
At a 100-120 kW station, you use everything the car can take. A 10-80% charge takes about 27-28 minutes.
At a 150 kW or faster station, you gain no extra speed, because the car won't accept more than 100 kW. Ultra-fast stations usually charge higher rates, so a 100-120 kW DC unit is often the smarter choice for an E-208 owner.

AC charging: 7.4 kW or 11 kW?

The E-208's standard onboard charger is 7.4 kW single-phase. Most public AC stations offer 22 kW, but the car can't go above its own limit. So even at a 22 kW shopping-mall charger, you charge at 7.4 kW. If the car has the optional 11 kW three-phase onboard charger, AC charging is noticeably faster.

Rough figures:

20-80% at 7.4 kW AC: about 4 hours 40 minutes
20-80% at 11 kW AC: about 3-3.5 hours
0-100% at 7.4 kW: about 7.5 hours, so an overnight charge or a working day is plenty.

This makes the E-208 a very good fit for AC charging wherever you leave the car for a long time: at work, at home or at a hotel. But "I'll fill it up in an hour at the mall" isn't realistic with the 7.4 kW version. One hour adds about 7 kWh, or 40-45 km of range.

What It Costs to Charge the E-208 at a Public Station

DC fast charging prices in Turkey vary by operator. Based on August 2026 tariffs, 60-150 kW DC stations charge about 11.50-13.50 TL per kWh. The market average is around 13.7 TL, and some operators go as high as 15-16 TL. AC prices are usually about two-thirds to three-quarters of DC prices, in the 9-10 TL/kWh range.

For the calculations, we'll use round numbers: DC ≈ 13.5 TL/kWh, AC ≈ 9.5 TL/kWh. Usable battery capacity is about 46-48 kWh. We add 7-8% for charging losses.

Scenario	Energy drawn (approx.)	Time (approx.)	Cost (approx.)
DC 20% → 80%	30-31 kWh	25-28 min (100 kW station)	405-420 TL
DC 10% → 80%	35-36 kWh	27-28 min	470-490 TL
AC 20% → 80% (7.4 kW)	30-31 kWh	~4 h 40 min	285-295 TL
AC 0% → 100% (7.4 kW)	50-52 kWh	~7.5 h	475-495 TL

Cost per 100 km

In mixed driving, the E-208 uses about 15-17 kWh/100 km in real conditions. Taking an average of 16 kWh:

DC fast charging only: 100 km ≈ 215 TL
Public AC charging only: 100 km ≈ 150 TL

So someone who uses only fast chargers pays about 65 TL more every 100 km than someone who mostly charges on AC. For a driver covering 15,000 km a year, that adds up to more than 10,000 TL. With a small-battery city car like the E-208, the cheapest approach is to cover most of your weekly driving with AC and keep DC for road trips and emergencies.

The cost people overlook: idle fees

At DC stations in particular, most operators charge an idle fee if you leave the car plugged in after charging ends. Usually a per-minute fee starts after a short free period. The E-208's charging curve slows down sharply after 80%. For both time and money, the best move is to stop at 80% and free up the charger.

How It Compares With Rivals

The E-208's natural rivals in Turkey are B-segment EVs in the same price range. According to October 2026 price lists:

Model	Price (October 2026)	Battery	WLTP range	Peak DC power
Peugeot E-208 GT 100 kW	2,080,000 TL	~50 kWh	363 km	100 kW
Opel Corsa Electric	1,890,000 TL	50 kWh	~357 km	100 kW
Fiat 600e	1,989,900 TL (1,854,900 TL with offer)	54 kWh	406 km	100 kW
Citroën ë-C3	1,645,000 TL (1,605,000 TL with offer)	44 kWh	320 km	100 kW

The table makes a few things clear:

The Opel Corsa Electric uses the same Stellantis platform with a very similar battery and charging setup, for about 190,000 TL less. The reason to pick the E-208 isn't technical. It comes down to the i-Cockpit interior, the GT trim and the design.
The Fiat 600e has a bigger 54 kWh battery and 406 km of range. With its current offer, it is 225,000 TL cheaper than the E-208, and it is a taller crossover. If range is your priority, the 600e stands out.
The Citroën ë-C3 costs about 435,000-475,000 TL less. Its battery is smaller and its interior is simpler, but it's a strong alternative if you only drive in the city.

All four models are capped at 100 kW DC, so charging times at public stations are much the same. What separates them is battery size, and therefore how far you get on a single charge.

Who Is It For?

The E-208 is a good choice if:

Most of your driving is in the city (30-60 km a day),
You can charge on AC at home, at your apartment complex or at work,
Compact size, easy parking and Peugeot's interior design matter to you.

Think twice if:

You often drive between cities. A realistic motorway range of 250-280 km means at least one DC stop on a 300 km trip.
You'll do all your charging at DC stations. With a small battery and an 80% limit, frequent charging adds up in both time and money.
Price per kilometre of range is your main criterion. The Corsa on the same platform is cheaper, and the 600e goes further.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Peugeot E-208 cost in October 2026?

In Peugeot Turkey's October 2026 price list, the recommended on-the-road price of the E-208 GT 100 kW is 2,080,000 TL. The October list has no promotional price. Registration, notary and fee costs are not included.

How long does the E-208 take to fast charge from 10% to 80%?

About 27-28 minutes at a DC station rated at 100 kW or more. At a 50 kW station, it takes 35-40 minutes. The car won't accept more than 100 kW, so 150 kW+ stations don't make it any faster.

How much does it cost to charge the E-208 at a public station?

On a DC tariff of about 13.5 TL/kWh, a 20-80% charge costs about 405-420 TL, and a 10-80% charge about 470-490 TL. On an AC tariff of about 9.5 TL/kWh, a 20-80% charge costs about 285-295 TL. Prices vary by operator and station.

Does the E-208 charge faster at a 22 kW AC station?

No. The standard E-208 charges at 7.4 kW single-phase. Even if the station offers 22 kW, the car won't go above 7.4 kW. Cars with the optional 11 kW three-phase onboard charger can charge on AC at up to 11 kW.

Conclusion

At 2,080,000 TL, the Peugeot E-208 isn't Turkey's cheapest EV. But with 100 kW DC charging, a battery of about 50 kWh and 363 km of WLTP range, it's a balanced package for city drivers. The real savings come from how you charge, not from the price tag: 100 km costs about 150 TL if you mostly use AC, and about 215 TL with DC only. Since its rivals charge just as fast, your decision will come down to battery size, the price gap and which design you prefer.
