Peugeot e-Partner priced at a premium
All-electric French delivery van to cost at least $16K more than the dearest petrol version even after rebatesThe 2023 Peugeot e-Partner will cost $59,990 plus on-road costs when it arrives mid-year, meaning the compact electric delivery van – Peugeot Australia’s first EV – will qualify for the myriad federal and state electric vehicle incentives.
The small French commercial van’s $60K-plus price tag makes the e-Partner the most expensive Peugeot Partner variant on sale in Australia by almost $20,000, but various EV rebates (private) and exemptions (fleet) should lower that premium down to about $17,000 depending on the state or territory of purchase – before on-road costs are calculated.
Just one e-Partner variant is being offered here – a long-wheelbase van offering 3.9 cubic metres of load volume, accessed via dual rear swinging barn doors.
Propulsion is provided by a single 100kW/260Nm electric motor mounted on the front axle, powered by a 50kWh lithium-ion battery that grants the e-Partner an effective driving range of up to 245km on the WLTP cycle.
A full charge is claimed to take roughly 7.5 hours when using an 11kW wallbox, while Peugeot says a DC fast-charger will charge the battery from 0-80 per cent in about 30 minutes. Maximum charging power is 100kW.
Like Premium versions of the 1.2-litre petrol-powered Partner van, standard equipment includes Bluetooth, smartphone mirroring, reversing camera, grey cloth trim, rear parking sensors and a digital instrument cluster, while safety highlights include autonomous emergency braking, electronic stability control, lane keep assist, speed sign recognition and six airbags.
Peugeot Australia managing director Kate Gillis said the brand believes the e-Partner will “resonate with Australian consumers seeking a highly capable and efficient workhorse” and build on the versatility of the combustion-powered Partner range.
Four exterior paint colours will be available for customers to choose from, however, ‘Ice White’ is the default option while Nera Black, Artense Grey and Platinum Grey all command a $690 premium.
Full Australian specifications will be released when the e-Partner official goes on sale in coming months, although interested customers are invited to pre-order the e-Partner now.
Peugeot Australia’s first zero-emission load-hauler will be covered by a five-year/200,000km warranty and its battery is warranted for up to eight years or 160,000km, whichever comes first.
