The start: 0 to 100 km/h

Off the line, the e-208 156 Phase 2 hits 100 km/h in 8.12 s versus 8.12 s for the 5 E-Tech Electric 150. The 0.00 s gap is negligible: both vehicles are neck and neck.

From 100 km/h to 400 metres

At 200 metres, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 is doing 117 km/h against 119 km/h for the e-208 156 Phase 2. The gap is 0.11 s. The gap widens compared to the 0-100.

At 400 metres standing start, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 crosses the line in 16.13 s versus 16.14 s. The 0.01 s gap represents roughly 0 m of track

Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play

Past 400 metres, nothing changes. Same ceiling, same acceleration, same trajectory - both rivals run in formation to the line. The 0.05 s gap at 1,000 metres confirms what the specs already suggested: on track, they’re interchangeable. The real contest happens elsewhere - range, comfort, charging network reliability.

What the numbers don’t tell you

Both rivals share the same electronic speed cap: the e-208 156 Phase 2 and the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 are governed to 150 km/h. At that speed, standard-fit tyres approach their safety threshold - an industrial ceiling common to most electric vehicles in this segment. Neither car shows its true aerodynamic potential in this duel.

With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.33 kg/hp vs 10.16 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).

In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.23 seconds. The 0.00 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
