Peugeot E208 Servicing
Discussion
As a relative newbie to the EV world, my wifes car is apparently due a service - it's a 2021 Peugeot E208.
It recently had an MOT and the tester said he was under the impression that no servicing is required on them. Can someone with a little more experience clarify this point? Also if it does need a service, will it need to go to some form of specialist?

Based on my e-C4 (same platform)
Yes it needs servicing
After the first year,and every two years thereafter (so years 1, 3, 5 etc) , second year, and every two years thereafter (2, 4, 6 etc).
My regular local generalist garage was happy to service it. The service schedule doesn't call for any maintenance to the actual electrical drivetrain of the car, only typical car things that need changing/checking which any competent mechanic should be able to handle.
AFAIK Teslas don't officially need servicing, those are the only ones I'm aware of.
Edited to fix second year servicing - sorry for the misinfo!

Based on very recent experience on another Stellantis vehicle, a Vx.
Car dropped off at dealer at just after 8am for the first service. Terms of lease must be dealer serviced.
By late morning 11am it had had the service and inspection done, all OK, no further work needed.
Just some recall and software updates. Took till 5pm and even then there was concern that it might not be finished before close of play after a whole day at it.
In discussion on collection 5:30 ish commented glibly that was beginning to worry that an update had bricked it. Suspect that there had been workshop concerns in that area too. Modern cars just too complicated, we didn't ask for any of this.

To be fair that is the dealers's /manufacturer's fault, not the car's. No software update on car needs all day, unless you are not properly set up to deliver / receive it. My home 900 Mbps fibre connection and servers I regularly connect to - and you do too - would probably have managed it in under 30 mins tops.Car dropped off at dealer at just after 8am for the first service.

My EVs are serviced at home by approved providers (eg Cleevely and Wisely) and official manufacturer updates take minutes using a suitable laptop and our wi-fi, not hours.
Firmware update of an embedded system as simple as a car should be entirely reliable and there's no reason for it to take more than a couple of minutes. Discombobulate said:

Have to say you may well be right. I don't have that speed of connection at home, fttc 55 Mbps, but a decent and stable mesh wifi connection to the car. The last over the air update on the drive was supposed to take 10 minutes including download and installation, it actually took just over 15.My EVs are serviced at home by approved providers (eg Cleevely and Wisely) and official manufacturer updates take minutes using a suitable laptop and our wi-fi, not hours.
The dealer was blaming Vx servers, even so it was unnerving, they'd sent a video at 11am ish, with the car parked up and updates being downloaded, being phoned at 4:45 pm by a worried sounding service bod saying they were still downloading and probably have to keep overnight was not reassuring and would have needed a change of plans as relying on the car to do a job that evening and next day whereas our small hatch doesn't have the load space.
