Peugeot iOn (2011 – 2018) Review
Peugeot iOn (2011 – 2018) At A Glance
Insurance Group 28
Instead of selling its version of the Mitsubishi i-MIEV, Peugeot is offering it on a £415pm 4 year all inclusive lease only. This sounds dear until you add the cost of the fuel: just £210 for £10,000 miles compared to around£1,700 for a conventional car doing 30mpg.

Would an electric car cope with hilly terrain?
Yes, hills will make a significant dent in the range of electric cars. But my parents live in Hexham Northumberland which has steep hills in the town itself and all around and there are a number of Nissan Leaf and Nissan eNV200 electric vans operating in the area, so they must make sense. Better to go for one with longer range batteries though. Good choice these days. Kia Soul electric, Hyundai Ioniq electric, Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf and plenty of secondhand Mitsubishi i-Miev, Citroen C-ZERO, Peugeot iOn, Renault Fluence ZE, etc going cheap. Honda did a Mk II Jazz hybrid. Plenty of Yaris hybrids. The Toyota Auris hybrid works well. Prius extremely popular.

Electric vehicle battery warranty
No specific case law that I know of. You are correct that these batteries gradually lose their capacity to hold a full charge, but if the battery in the car you bought came with a couple of failed cells then that is a fault that was present in the vehicle before you bought it and the supplier of the car is liable: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/consumer-rights/

We like our new Peugeot iOn electric car.
That's interesting because I've driven the iOn, but wasn't convinced by Peugeot's plans to market it on a very expensive PCP. This worked out equivalent to a list price of something like £38,000. But since you got yours for less than half of that, good luck to you. It's ideal for an island like Jersey, just 9 miles by 5, where diesels with DPFs choke themselves to death. Currently (er), the best upcoming electric car is the Renault Zoe from £13,650 new, plus £70 a month to hire the battery pack.
