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:

• 7kW single‑phase (standard): around 7 hours 30 minutes for a full charge
• 11kW three‑phase (optional): roughly 5 hours
• 100kW CCS rapid charging (standard): about 30 minutes to reach 80%

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.

For versatile daily driving that includes both city and highway routes, the Citroën C3 Electric is a strong choice with a range of up to 200 miles, fast-charging, advanced safety, and a spacious, comfortable interior.
