How to see my Peugeot 5008 hybrid is in electric mode?
Hi,
How can I tell when my Peugeot 5008 hybrid is in electric mode? It doesn't seem to be clocking up electric miles very often, even when I am doing a lot of city driving.

Hi Martin,
Other than the lack of engine noise, the graphics in the driver's instruments subtly alter if the car is in electric mode. You can also select an energy flow display for the central touchscreen to keep an easy eye on it.
Regardless, the 5008 Hybrid never runs for long distances on purely electric power as its battery is so small. Instead, it does lots of little bursts using the battery and motor, notably so when moving off from a standstill or barely moving along in slow traffic.
