FULLY ELECTRIC CARS that can seat seven people are as rare as black rhinos and trains that arrive on time. Which presents the new Peugeot e-5008 with an opportunity to steal a march on most other brands.
For now, the e-5008's only electric sevenseat rivals are either pricier (the Kia EV9 and Mercedes-Benz EQB, for example) or much more compromised on range and dynamics (because they're van-based MPVs such as the Vauxhall Vivaro Life Electric).
The e-5008 is a little bigger than its nonelectric predecessor and is based very closely on Peugeot's smaller e-3008. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions will follow.
