How does it compare?

The Peugeot e-2008 clocks in at a respectable 310 km (193 miles), while the KIA Soul EV lags slightly with 243 km (151 miles). The Avenger delivers a solid middle-ground for those needing dependable, if not extraordinary, mileage.
Acceleration
When it comes to acceleration, the JEEP Avenger EV manages 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 9.0 seconds. Not a rocket ship, but sufficient for everyday jaunts.

The Peugeot e-2008 is more of a Sunday driver, taking 8.5 seconds to get there.

Under the bonnet, the JEEP Avenger EV flexes with a respectable 154 horsepower. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Kona Electric asserts its dominance with 201 hp, making it the gladiator in this arena. The Peugeot e-2008 follows with 136 hp, and the KIA Soul EV comes in hot with 201 hp, matching the Konas muscle.
Charging Time
For those in a hurry, the JEEP Avenger EV boasts a decent charging window, replenishing its 50.8 kWh battery within a few hours using a fast charger. The Hyundai Kona Electric suits swift lifestyles with its ability to charge from 10% to 80% in about 47 minutes. Meanwhile, the Peugeot e-2008 and KIA Soul EV take around 30 minutes to reach 80% capacity on a rapid charger. The Avenger holds its own but doesnt exactly redefine quick pit stops.
