e-208 156 Phase 2 vs Zoe R135 E-Tech Z.E.50: chronicle of a drag race at 150 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the e-208 156 Phase 2 hits 100 km/h in 8.12 s versus 9.44 s for the Zoe R135 E-Tech Z.E.50. At this point, the e-208 156 Phase 2 leads by 1.32 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the e-208 156 Phase 2 is doing 119 km/h against 111 km/h for the Zoe R135 E-Tech Z.E.50. The gap is 0.57 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the e-208 156 Phase 2 crosses the line in 16.14 s versus 17.08 s. The 0.94 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the e-208 156 Phase 2 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 150 km/h versus 140 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the e-208 156 Phase 2 finishes in 30.57 s versus 32.53 s, with a 1.96 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (150 vs 140 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the e-208 156 Phase 2 is capped at 150 km/h, the Zoe R135 E-Tech Z.E.50 at 140 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (9.33 kg/hp vs 11.04 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 15.57 seconds. The 1.32 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Peugeot e-208 156 Phase 2 has a clear edge over the Renault Zoe R135 E-Tech Z.E.50 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
