Pricing
Unlike some small SUVs, there’s no single electric version of the E-2008 – it’s a car in itself with its own model range. The range starts with the Active for £36,350 and tops out at £41,600 for the First Edition, but we’d go for the Allure model that has some fancy tech but doesn’t break the bank too much.
You need to do your sums, though, as the E-2008 is no longer one of the better value models on the market. Its list prices look expensive compared to the MG4 and other Chinese rivals, and even finance packages are steep. At the time of writing, a mid-spec Allure required a near £4,000 deposit and monthly payments of nearly £700.
Running costs
The E-2008 is some £9,000 – £12,000 more than a petrol 2008, but the big benefit with the electric one is that it’ll be a lot cheaper to run with lower road tax, fuel and maintenance costs. Depending on your energy tariff, it could cost as little as £7 to fully charge the E-2008 overnight.
Road tax is free, and because the E-2008 has fewer mechanical parts than its petrol-engined sister, a service is around £50 cheaper per year. Company car tax is also a big bonus as the e-2008 is 2% from 2022- to April 2025, meaning it’ll save you thousands if you’re a company car driver. Insurance is reasonable too, and the E-2008 shouldn’t lose too much money in depreciation.
