Category scores

These are our own numbers, not the manufacturer’s stars. The scale runs from 0 to 100, higher is better, and every figure carries a source with a reference date. Which category weighs more for you is something you know better than we do. How these scores work.

Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (100 kW) ~ 30
At a 150 kW charger ~ 30
At a 50 kW charger ~ 60
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked

What does the Citroën ë-C3 cost roughly?

Indicative starting price € 23,300 (reference date 2026-05-20). Not an offer.

What is the WLTP range of the Citroën ë-C3?

320 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.

How long does fast-charging the Citroën ë-C3 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 30 minutes on a 100 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

How big is the battery in the Citroën ë-C3?

44 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

How much boot space does the Citroën ë-C3 have?

310 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.

In depth

LFP battery of 44 kWh, WLTP around 320 km (manufacturer figure, indicative), motor 83 kW (113 hp), DC charging up to 100 kW. Shares the body with the petrol C3 (PureTech 100). Indicative starting price, check the official configurator for the current figure.

About the Citroën ë-C3 (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The ë-C3 is the electric variant of the fourth-generation C3, built on the Stellantis Smart Car platform. Citroën presented it in October 2023 and European sales started in 2024. The car uses a 44 kWh LFP battery and a single 83 kW (113 hp) front motor; Citroën states up to 320 km WLTP (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). DC charging is rated at up to 100 kW, which is on the high side for a small affordable EV. Body and cabin are shared with the petrol C3.

In practice

Owner real-world data is still thin for this model year. On comparable 44 kWh small EVs, public forums report 20 to 30 percent less than WLTP at motorway speed and in winter (not measured by us). The 100 kW DC peak only holds for a window in the middle of the curve; total fast-charging session time depends on the charger and the state of charge. The boot is 310 l, average for the B-segment, with a body slightly raised on the wheels for more cabin space.

Points to note

At introduction Citroën also announced a cheaper short-range version around 200 km WLTP at a lower price point; check the official configurator for the actual variant on offer in your market. The lowest trim is plain; verify the equipment list at an official dealer. The indicative starting price stands at 23,300 euro for the 320 km version, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.
