Peugeot continues electric vehicle push with new e-Rifter
The e-Rifter is the latest EV to join Peugeot’s line-up
Peugeot’s latest electric vehicle has arrived – the e-Rifter.
Set to arrive in dealerships this autumn, the electric van-based MPV brings a 171-mile range and the option of either five or seven seats.
Power comes from a 100kW electric motor linked to a 50kWh battery, enabling the Rifter to reach 60mph from a dead stop in 11 seconds. With a 7.4kW single phase charger fitted as standard – upgradeable to a more powerful 11kW three-phase unit via an optional extra – a full charge via a 7.4kW home charger can be achieved in 7.5 hours. This drops to five hours when using the optional three-phase charger.
