When we talk about electric cars, we often think of high prices, futuristic designs and Hollywood stars flaunting the latest electric steeds. But Citroën is determined to change that perception with the launch of its latest model – the electric Citroën e-C3:. The French car giant proves once again that electric vehicles are an affordable and popular choice for everyday drivers.

Citroën is not a newcomer to the world of motoring. With its rich history and long tradition of innovation, the brand is known for setting trends in the industry. And pray electric Citroën e-C3 is no exception. Their latest offering brings a breath of fresh air to the electric vehicle segment with the promise of affordability and functionality. The Citroën e-C3 is not just an electric car; is a vehicle designed with the needs of everyday drivers in mind. With a predicted price below 25,000 euros, this is a vehicle that sets a new standard in the electric vehicle segment.

Of course, the real magic lies beneath the elegant sheet metal. At the time when we were saying goodbye to the faithful gasoline and diesel engines of the previous model, it was Citroën decided to enter the electric age with the e-C3 in 2024. 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. All this awaits you in the redesigned e-C3, ready to explore urban jungles and country roads.

Starting price? A pleasant 23,300 euros ($24,500). And a year later, in 2025, Citroën will launch a model with a smaller battery that will offer a range of 200 km (124 miles) per charge with a price tag of around 19,990 euros (or $21,050) in the near future. This will make the e-C3 one of the most affordable electric vehicles in Europe.

So how does the electric Citroën e-C3 measure up to the competition? Well, when you drive past the gas stations and watch the gas prices skyrocket, you'll know with a smile on your face that you made the right decision. The Citroën e-C3 is not just a vehicle; is your personal rebel against high fuel prices and your ally in the fight for a cleaner environment. And with a choice of 'You' or 'Max' versions, you'll do it in style. Oh, how sweet it is to be a part of the electric revolution! Entering the European market in early 2024, the e-C3 promises to make electric mobility part of everyday life for even more people. It includes an electric version, putting Citroën on the map as one of the brands poised to take the lead in the electric revolution.

Electric Citroën e-C3 it's not just a new car on the market; it is a symbol of how innovation and accessibility can go hand in hand to create a more sustainable and inclusive future of mobility. And with the arrival of the e-C3 on European roads, it is clear that the future of electric mobility is bright and accessible for all.
