Could this be the future of all-electric large passenger vehicles in the country?

For faster charging, Peugeot is offering two types of on-board chargers – the standard fit 7.4 kW charger reduces the charging time to 7.5 hours and an optional three-phase 11 kW unit.

The E-Traveller can also be charged at up to 100 kW using a suitable public charger, allowing for an 80% charge in just 30 minutes.

The second mode is Normal which is the ideal mode for daily driving. This mode produces 80 kW and 210 Nm of torque. Lastly, the Power mode for optimal performance – generating a peak of 100 kW and 260 Nm of torque.

To make the e-Traveller stand out from its combustion-engined variant, the e-Traveller has been revamped with features like a blanked-off radiator grille, a new instrument cluster, and unique graphics for its 7-inch infotainment system.
