Launching the e-208 last year has allowed Peugeot to dip its toes in the electric supermini segment for the first time in the company’s history.

Developed alongside the new Opel/Vauxhall Corsa-e, the zero-emission subcompact hatchback has a WLTP range of 217 miles (349 km) with its 50 kWh battery fully charged.

Normally, customers may want more from such a car, but Peugeot now seems to be prepping for a lesser model, according to DrivingElectric, which will have a smaller battery and a shorter driving range.

Review: Electric Peugeot e-208 Has Most Boxes Checked As One Of The Best Sub-Compacts

“The more comfortable customers become with EVs, the less we’ll need to reassure them about range”, the brand’s manager for electric vehicles, Anne-Lise Richards, told the publication. “Currently, customers aren’t saying that the e-208 is too expensive, but at one point, maybe we’ll need a more affordable option, and we could always achieve a smaller battery.”

With the word ‘could’ in mind, we’ll remind you that the e-208 is priced from £27,945 ($34,986) in the United Kingdom, for the base Active trim. The Active Premium comes with a manufacturer’s recommended retail price of £28,595 ($35,800), while the Allure and Allure Premium start at £29,145 ($36,489) and £29,795 ($37,302) respectively. Meanwhile, the GT Line and range-topping GT are priced from £30,845 ($38,617) and £32,195 ($40,307). Its sibling from Vauxhall, the Corsa-e, starts at £27,665 ($34,635) and the rivaling Honda e at £26,660 ($33,377).

No matter which version of the e-208 one chooses, all of them are offered with a single electric motor that delivers 134 HP (136 PS / 100 kW) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque. The small BEV can accelerate to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 8.1 seconds in Sport mode, and has a 93 mph (150 km/h) top speed.
