This little electric wonder is powered by a 44 kWh Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery that allows the driver to 320 kilometers (or, if you're still attached to Imperial units, 199 miles) of freedom on the road between two charges, measured per cycle WLTP. And no, this is not a joke!
He takes care of driving the vehicle 113-horsepower electric motor, mounted on the front axle, which promises to get you out of 0 to 100 km/h (or 0-62 mph for those in miles) took in approx 11 seconds. Not quite the speed of light, but fast enough to overtake your neighbor's tractor on the local road.
Battery charging from 20 to 80 percent it will take about four hours on a 7 kilowatt charger. And if you're in a hurry, a visit to a DC fast charging station with 100-kW CCS connections back on the road in less than 30 minutes. That's fast enough to catch the next episode of your favorite series while your e-C3 charges the battery for your next adventure.
In fact, with a bit of luck and a timely arrival at a fast charging station, you might even have time for a coffee and a croissant before your Citroën is ready to conquer the roads again. Ah, the sound of silence as your e-C3 glides down the road with zero emissions and a smile on your face, knowing you've done something good for your wallet and our planet.
Citroën will offer its electric pearl in two versions – You and Max. The base model 'You' boasts LED headlights, emergency braking system, projection screen, electric side mirrors, rear parking sensors and cruise control. Ah, and that's just the beginning. If you decide to upgrade to the 'Max' version, you'll get some delicious extras in addition to the basic equipment. We're talking 17-inch alloy wheels, two-tone exterior paint, automatic wipers, electrically folding and heated side mirrors, automatic climate control, wireless phone charging and much more.

This will make the e-C3 one of the most affordable electric vehicles in Europe.
