Peugeot's first electric vehicle arrives on the Brazilian market later this year  

Similar to other electric vans and plug-in hybrids, the Peugeot e-Expert electric vehicle was developed especially for urban users, as part of anti-pollution legislation and low-emission zones, which are expected to arrive in Brazilian cities in the near future. 

The e-Expert electric van is a sister model to the Vauxhall Vivaro-e, Toyota Proace Electric and Citröen e-Dispatch, and joins the smaller Partner and larger Boxer in Peugeot's range of zero-emission commercial vehicles.                                                     

At first glance, the Peugeot van is almost a clone of its diesel sibling. Aside from the charging port at the front, the blue-hued badge and the unique grille, the electric van is visually identical. Inside, the instrument display has been tweaked to show things like power flow and consumption, battery level, and a media panel detailing trip information and remaining battery range.

Peugeot electric van travels 330 km on a single charge  

Peugeot's electric vehicle version, available in Europe, exists in two variants. The first model of the electric van has a 50 kWh battery that delivers a range of 230 km. Already in the most expensive version, the model delivers an incredible autonomy of 330 km, thanks to its 75 kWh battery.

The Peugeot e-Expert mid-size electric van offers a choice of two battery sizes, three load lengths, two body styles and a range of up to 339 km. Despite not having arrived in Brazil yet, the model is already on sale, with prices starting at £32.450, something around R$242.261 in direct conversion.

Performance mode can make life easier for users

Buyers can optimize the van's range using the various driving modes. Eco mode limits power for maximum mileage, while Normal is recommended for everyday use.   

The final configuration is labeled Power and prioritizes performance "when carrying heavy loads". Peugeot claims the e-Expert electric vehicle can go from 0-100 km in 13,1 seconds (in Power mode) and has a top speed of 129 km/h. The van also uses an audible signal at speeds of less than 29km to alert pedestrians of its presence at dusk.  

If you're looking for a medium-sized van, with the best payload capacity or fuel economy possible, it's worth taking a look at the Peugeot Expert when it hits the Brazilian automotive market.
