As you can probably imagine, electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are far better for the environment than those traditionally powered by petrol or diesel and just think of how much money you'll save on gas! You'll also save money on road tax, and if your automobile is used for commercial purposes, you'll save even more money.
When drivers move to an electric car, one of the first things they notice is how quiet the vehicle is, which makes for a significantly more comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. Instant torque is standard on all-electric vehicles, ensuring that you always have power at your fingertips. The car responds immediately to the accelerator, making these vehicles perfect for city driving.
EV batteries are frequently found within the floor of the vehicle, providing good balance and weight distribution. As a result, manoeuvring around corners and curves is simple and safe. In a comfy, clean, and quiet car, you can zip through traffic and glide through town.
Snows’ manufacturer partners offer a wide selection of electric vehicle (EV) models to suit a range of budgets, lifestyle and driving requirements. Our product geniuses can provide exceptional insight and knowledge on EV driving and the models currently available to purchase. Our teams welcome your questions, even if at this stage, you simply want to know more about how EV motoring compares to conventional vehicle ownership. Our factory-trained technicians receive the highest level of EV service, maintenance and repair training so you can be confident your EV will be maintained to the highest standards as demanded by the manufacturer.
Electric cars offer lower running costs, smoother and quieter performance, and zero tailpipe emissions. You can charge at home for added convenience, and EVs typically need less maintenance than petrol or hybrid cars.
They’re also future‑friendly, with increasing incentives and fewer restrictions in clean‑air zones. Overall, they’re cheaper to run, cleaner to drive and simpler to live with.
The running costs of a Citroën electric or hybrid vehicle can vary depending on the model, battery size, and how you use the vehicle. For a clear breakdown comparing running costs, charging costs, and potential savings, you can visit our detailed guide here.
The electric range can differ from each respective model, while some trims offer more mile range due to having a larger battey. Citroen EV's can range from anywhere between 188 miles to an impressive 421 miles.

Yes - all Citroën electric cars use automatic transmission because electric vehicles don’t have traditional gearboxes
Charging times vary depending on the charger you plug into. Both home and public chargers come in different power levels, so the speed can change.
Citroën uses a Type 2 charging socket.
On‑board charger options for Citroën electric vehicles include:
You can top up your Citroën electric vehicle in a variety of places, giving you plenty of flexibility day to day. At home, you can plug in overnight using a dedicated wallbox for convenient, low‑cost charging while you sleep.
When you’re out and about, you can use thousands of public charging points, ranging from slower destination chargers in car parks and supermarkets to rapid and ultra‑rapid chargers on major roads for quick top‑ups during longer journeys.
This mix of home and public options makes it easy to keep your Citroën EV ready to go whenever you need it.
Cold weather can reduce the driving range of your Citroën electric vehicle, and this is a normal characteristic of all EVs. When temperatures drop, the battery can’t operate at peak efficiency, and features like the heater, windscreen demister, and climate control need extra energy. As a result, your Citroën EV may not travel as far on a single charge during colder months.
To help maximise your winter range, try pre‑conditioning the vehicle while it's still plugged in and driving smoothly to conserve energy.
With a 100kW charger your Citroen van can reach 80% in under 30 minutes.
Yes - many of Citroën’s electric vehicles make very good family cars, mainly because they focus on comfort, space and value for money.
It is recommended to get your electric Citroen serviced every 2 years or 16,000 miles (whichever comes first) to ensure efficiency and maintenance on the road.
*The fuel consumption or electric range achieved, and CO2 produced (where applicable), in real world conditions will depend upon a number of factors including, but not limited to: the accessories fitted (pre and post registration); the starting charge of the battery (electric only); variations in weather; driving styles and vehicle load. The e-208 is a battery electric vehicle requiring mains electricity for charging. The WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is used to measure fuel consumption, electric range and CO2 figures. Figures shown are for comparison purposes and should only be compared to the fuel consumption, electric range and CO2 values of other cars tested to the same technical standard.
