Charging Citroen EVs
Citroen has a varied selection of EVs to choose from, five of which are battery-electric, with only one PHEV option available. When choosing to invest in any of the Citroen models, it is crucial that you get an appropriate charging set up for it to get the most out of its battery life.
Every home set-up should have a high-quality charger and premium charging cables to match. While you could rely on the emergency 3-pin charging plug or public charging stations for your EV – this is far from recommended. Consistently using public charging stations will become expensive and inefficient.

Citroen EV Chargers
Getting a home charger set up is always recommended when you invest in an electric vehicle.
At Smartly, we recommend 7.4 kW chargers for home charging that is cost-effective and affordable.

Easee One 7.4 kW Single Phase charger
However, we have a full range of chargers available, including more powerful charging stations for commercial and three phase usage.
For the Citroen e-Berlingo, e-C4, e-Dispatch, and e-SpaceTourer, you can achieve:
A full charge using a 3-pin emergency plug in 22 hours.
A full charge using a 3.6 kW charger in 14 hours.
A full charge using a 7.4 kW charger in 7 hours.
A full charge using a 22 kW charger in 7 hours.
20-80% charge using a 50 kW charger in 40 minutes.
20-80% charge using a 150 kW charger in 20 minutes.
For the Citroen C5 Aircross and C-Zero, you can reach:
A full charge in 6-7 hours with an emergency 3-pin plug.
A full charge in 4-5 hours with a 3.6 kW charger.
A full charge in 2-5 hours with a 7.2 kW charger.
A full charge in 2-5 hours using a 22 kW charger.
The Citroen C5 Aircross cannot use 50 kW or 150 kW chargers. However, the Citroen C-Zero can and can accomplish 20-80% charge in 20 minutes using a 50 kW or 150 kW charger.
The Citroen e-C4 costs around 16 p/kWh to charge at home, which is around 4.1p cost per mile. If using a rapid public charger, it costs around 30p/kWh to 80% charge, which translates to around 7.7p cost per mile.
Due to the size of the Citroen e-Berlingo, it costs around 5-10p cost per mile to charge. However, charging at rapid charging stations may inflate this price due to paying a premium for fast charging. The cheapest option is to charge at home.
On a full battery charge, the Citroen e-C4 can accomplish 217 miles if it is driven efficiently.
