WLTP is the official EU test cycle; real-world figures are usually a bit lower. See the guide on WLTP versus real-world consumption.

Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · IV (BEV, 44 kWh)

Citroën ë-C3

Electric ë-C3 on the Stellantis Smart Car platform, presented in October 2023 and on sale in Europe from 2024. 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.

Profile · Electric 65 (facelift 2024)

Dacia Spring

Budget EV in the A-segment. Small 26.8 kWh pack, WLTP around 225 km (manufacturer figure, indicative), substantially less in winter and on the motorway (public forums, not measured by us). DC charging limited to about 30 kW, power 65 hp. Deliberately a city car, not a long-distance machine.
