According to
Peugeot's website ...
The iOn’s lithium-ion battery stores much more energy than the old NiCd batteries of the 1990s. You can fully recharge it in about nine hours from a 220V domestic plug socket, using the five-metre cable that comes with the car. Special 380V recharging stations for electric cars, located throughout the UK, will replace half the battery’s capacity in just 15 minutes.
I wonder how many "Special 380V recharging stations" there are in UK?
As to 'normal charging', I tend to recharge when the battery is down to about 50% ... normal charging will then take 5 hours or so to restore 100%/70 miles.
As I said previously, it works for us, and has done for the last 4 years: we love it. Loads of interior space [wot, no engine?], excellent performer in traffic, quiet, really nice to drive, well-equipped and quite comfortable. But batteries/physics will always be the constraint.
