After the Renault 4 and the Citroen C3 Aircross . We now drive the Peugeot e-3008, following our French series. Compared to the previous two, the 3008 isn’t as recent as it launched a little over a year ago in February 2024, April for the e-3008. This is the third generation of a nameplate that started as an MPV in 2008. Although not as successful as the second generation of the model, the 3008 III still peaked at #5 overall in France last October and stands at #7 over the first five months of the year there. Later travelling (in a different car) from Nice in the south east of France to Bordeaux in the south west, I indeed saw many new gen 3008 on the highway.  For the first time, the 3008 is available as a full BEV and this is the version I have chosen for the drive. It has a 210 ch engine couple with a 73 kWh battery for a theoretical 520 km range. Recharge time from 20 to 80% is announced at 30 minutes in fast charging mode, but some French reviews had a much lo...

When it comes to enhancing the look and safety of your truck, a small change can make a big difference. If you’ve ever driven at night and struggled to see another vehicle ahead—or worse, noticed someone struggling to see you—you know how vital rear lights are. That’s where truck tail lights come into play. Unlike standard factory lights, these upgrades offer sharper illumination, modern designs, and even personalization options that can completely transform your ride. Why Tail Lights Matter More Than You Think You might not pay much attention to your tail lights until one goes out. But these lights aren’t just functional—they’re your communication system on the road. High-quality aftermarket truck tail lights help make your braking and turning intentions clearer to drivers behind you, especially in bad weather or at night. Tail lights aren’t only about visibility; they also play a big role in style. Whether you’re driving a lifted F-150 or a vintage Silverado, updated lighting ca...
