Not wanting to be left behind with other European brands, Peugeot is also confirmed to be marketing their electric car in 2023.
As reported by Autocar, their electric car will be taken from the base 308 hatchback. Therefore, its name will likely be called e-308.
In addition to the leaks circulating, the Peugeot e-308 will have an electric motor and an onboard charger under the hood. As for the battery, it will be placed under the floor, so the luggage compartment remains the same as the 308 PHEV version.
