On multiple occasions recently, I have noticed that my e-208 2025 has automatically converted the speed from miles per hour to kilometres per hour after I have started the engine and driven away. Could it be that I'm to blame for that? Maybe you had a garlic overload?

Stellantis has terrible software. Nothing you did was to blame; the problem was with the technologically ignorant management team that hired the lowest bidders to develop the software without considering its intended use.

It makes me uneasy. Until I can stop and fix it, I'll have to paste up a conversion table to keep going at a legal speed.

Even though the speedometer is inaccurate, let's say 60 mph instead of 100 kph. 30 divided by 50 equals 50. Google Maps in CarPlay is my go-to; it shows both the real (and more accurate) speed (as measured by GPS) and the app's estimation of the speed limit.

I take it you're not riding shotgun with someone who had their most recent driving experience in France? You can create multiple driver profiles with the Peugeot 'profiles' feature. Perhaps the discrepancy in the settings when you log in is due to the fact that one profile uses kph and the other mph.
The key fobs aren't compatible with the Peugeot Profiles like they were with my last vehicle. Using the "your" key to set up your profile does not work in a "his and hers" arrangement.
Also, it seems like the Peugeot audio interface has a knack for mistaking voice commands for requests to change profiles. While commands like "navigate home" or "switch to radio 4" usually have the desired effect, every now and then I get the message "Switching to Profile 2" or something along those lines. So now I'm stuck with Profile 2's settings from when it was last in France.

I learned that UK MOT certificates are content to display odometer readings in kilometres thanks to this profiles function. The first MOT certificate I got had the right unit specifications and the correct number of kilometres on it. The system paid no mind as the numerical portion of the reading went down with the dashboard reverting to miles on my second MOT certificate.
Most commercial vehicles use metric odometers (and often speedometers) as part of the tachometer, which is an international standard. Therefore, MOT tests and similar procedures must be able to accept metric.
In contrast to US speed limits, which typically increase in 5-mph increments, the good thing about British speed limits is that there aren't many variations, so it's easier to remember the translations.
About 30 kilometres per hour, or 32 miles per hour, is what 20 mph is.
Around fifty kilometres per hour, or forty-eight kilometres per hour, is 30 mph.
About 70 kilometres per hour, or 64 miles per hour, is what 40 miles per hour is.
Around 80 kilometres per hour (within 1 kilometre per hour), that's what 50 mph is.
Nearly every speedometer gives an inaccurate reading by about 10%, so speeds of 60 mph (actually 96 km/h) and 70 mph (actually 112 km/h) are still well within the acceptable range. Odometer readings are often much more reliable.
The road from Dublin to Derry crosses the border into Northern Ireland often, and the units of speed limit change with little notice, only to change back a few kilometres later. So, if you get confused between miles per hour and km/h, I suggest you avoid it. There are no issues because everyone from the locals knows how fast is too fast and can translate correctly.

The unusual translation of units is due to the fact that this is RAF Akrotiri on the island of Cyprus, which is technically part of the United Kingdom. The speed limits are in km/h.
Like the rest of the United Kingdom, Gibraltar uses kilometres per hour but drives on the right side of the road.

Oh no! Very possibly. It could be explained if I inadvertently used the wrong profile. Upon waking, I will verify. Hold on a second. I remember stopping the first time it happened and switching back to miles as the settings. So, even if I had the wrong profile again, it would still be set to mph, right? There are just two profiles—my own and the default—and I am the sole driver.
