We have One the feel trim its a 330tkr sek car and We use it as second car, We measure 350kms range mixed driving Summer and 250kms highway speeds We Always do 100kmh because I found it to be most efficient there. Numbers above is fully packed. As you Said Björn Comfort is insane in this car We had a Kia Eniro that is much more noisier, the only downside with the eC4 is that it only comes with a schuko cable. Much recommended from an owner We use it as second car but can easily be used as only car. Cheers

@veli-pekkalindholm3476 2 жыл бұрын

The car is equipped with a 50 kilowatt-hour battery, with which the ë-C4 achieves a 350-kilometer operating distance in WLTP measurement. However, at worst, we were closer to 150 kilometers.What made the situation particularly unpleasant was the way the car communicated about it. The estimated operating distance in the evening after charging was 306 kilometers when the battery charge was 94 percent. When you set off after a cold night, the reading has understandably dropped to 266 kilometers.At this point, a person relying on the system may step into a deep swamp. Exactly 57 kilometers later, the estimated operating distance was only 70 kilometers left! The problem was repeated during the test run in several different situations and with several drivers - this does not inspire confidence in the person moving to the electric car.Charging further highlights the problem - a cold battery when not charging very quickly. In theory, charging from zero to 80 percent is possible in as little as 30 minutes, but even in severe frosts, the charging power remained in the range of only about 11 kilowatts, even at its weakest fast chargers. The challenge applies to all electric cars, but some have been more successful here as well.

I test drove recently one and can confirm it being very, very nice car. Fit and finish top notch, with good efficiency and super smooth, quiet ride. Range is enough for me, especially because of 100kW fast charging with almost flat charging curve. Waiting for info about next year incoming model, if there are any improvements. I have test driven at least dozen of EV's (including Teslas), and Citroen eC4 was first that I fell in love with. For every day driver, I don't need neck snapping acceleration as with Teslas have.

In regional or city traffic this care regenerates energy through breaking and de accelerating and the economy and range is much higher. It is very silent indeed. Very comfy seating also at large distances. Extremely light to handle, turn, it is really effortless to drive.

Smaller tires really seem to make a difference if you look at the results table. I do think PSA should introduce a new platform that enables larger batteries, faster charging and towing. I grew up with Citroën cars, but can't get myself to justify one of these (or the Peugeot/Opel/DS variants) because of this.

Bjorn, I bought Peugeot e-2008 as you suggested it is better than e-208. And now this... Haha. But one thing zero percent in GoM (all PSA cars) are not absolute zeros. I am using Power cruise control app with obd reader to find how much of the battery is still left after zero in gom. But absolutely not necessary for everyone to use it below the gom zero.

Actually I think it would be more fair to count the 4% at the botton. It is just the GoM that shows dash dash dash, but you can see SoC real time in the APP and even turtle mode does not kick in until SoC is 2%. And all these SoCs are "display SoC" (the APP and you see in the car's screen that there is some "juice" left as 1/3 of the red zone is iluminated), BMS SoC should be a litter higher (as there is another botton buffer below 0% display SoC, and this one it is fair to not take it into account)

Also if using 11kw onboard charger with 22 kw public chargers, will charging speed be 11kw ? (UK)

@costinioana 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. The public 22kW chargers typically deliver ~10.5kW (as indicated by the charger), with ~9.5-9.8kW making it into the battery effectively (as reported by Car Scanner via OBD). I'm not sure how it behaves on high power one phase but, on the other hand, charging at home you don't really need more than 3.6kW. The battery is relatively small and 8h at 3.6kW means ~50% battery topped up. I wouldn't worry about it.

The car in perfect conditions can not go over 500 km? You have to wait for battery to cool down before charging? What are you saying is 1000 km journey is not possible to do in EV in winter time with snow in one day. That's crap. We can buy bicycles instead. European industry will colapse because suply chain will go in the toilet with this sort of technology of transport. Well done everybody.

Comparisons of test done in completely different weather conditions are not very relevant really.

I disagree. Weather changes and I can't always get each car in the exact same weather conditions. But at least I provide with the information about how it was. Normally I just get to borrow a press car for a given time. It would be cumbersome for me to for example *only* borrow press cars during summer and only when the weather is nice.

Yes it is...physics stays the same. As long as you know what impact the circumstances have on the results, you can extrapolate apples to apples for the circumstance you're looking for.

For sure there is a difference if you would like to compare the range given by cars testes with different conditions. However, if you do write the conditions down as Bjørn does, you can guesstimate how the obtained value would vary depending on the temperature or wet road or whatever. Cheers!

This is not a scientific test in a lab, this is supposed to mirror everyday driving. And the road conditions are always given in the list, so you can rate the results accordingly.

@@bjornnyland Sure, but I’m not clear how you can conclude it’s more efficient than the e208, just on the basis of your tests. The e208 high speed test was conducted at 11°C! I realise it would be difficult logistically to organise the cars, but if possible it would be good to see two or more cars driven in convoy on the same day. Perhaps you and Kris could do some tests like that together.
