Not too long ago, we saw the all-electric Opel Vivaro-e cargo van. Now though, Opel’s step cousin Peugeot has revealed a passenger version called e-Traveller, which also comes with two battery capacities.
The 50 kWh capacity battery is claimed to offer a range of up to 230 km (142 mi) while there is also a 75 kWh battery pack with claimed range of up to 330 km (205 mi), both as per WLTP.
Based on the EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) multi-energy modular platform, the e-Traveller is available in 3 lengths: Compact (4.60 m), Standard (4.95 m) and Long (5.30 m).
The seating is available in different configurations; the e-Traveller can seat up to 9 people.
The e-Traveller offers 3 driving modes. The ‘Eco’ mode limits the motor’s output to 60 kW (82 hp) and 180 Nm (133 lb-ft) of torque while the ‘Normal’ mode to 80 kW (109 hp) and 210 Nm (155 lb-ft). The ‘Power’ mode extracts the most from the motor with 100 kW (136 hp) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) outputs. The top speed in Power mode is 130 km/h (81 mph).
Other features include Apple CarPlay & Android Auto connectivity, heated seats, Head-Up Display, hands-free sliding side doors, and safety features such as Automatic Emergency Braking, Driver Attention Alert, Speed Sign Recognition and Recommendation, and Blind Spot Monitoring System.
As for charging the battery, there are different on-board chargers available, ranging from a standard 7.4 kW single-phase charger to an optional 11 kW three-phase charger. From a 11 kW Wall Box, the 50 kWh battery pack is claimed to take 5 hours while the larger 75 kWh takes 7 hours 30 minutes. From a 100 kW public charging terminal, the 50 kWh battery pack can reach 80% charge in 30 minutes. More info here.
