Well done Citroen. At last an EV product that fits the mainstream needs. So many do NOT want five million horse power, NOR want to have to remortgage their home or sell a kidney, NOR have a car that is so big it has its own gravity sphere, NOR has more lights than a Nimitz aircraft carrier. The WHOLE point of moving to EV is for the planet. Having a car that is four tons and with one thousand horse power is not green whichever way you look at it. To move the masses over, car companies need to offer, reasonable prices, reasonable ranges, and reasonable performance. This e-C3 looks right in the sweet spot.

Just 22 kWh for the cheap version is brutal. Should have kept it at 30 kWh, still plenty of difference vs the 44 kWh top model, and could conceivably still take some out of town trips. But 22... imagine winter. That's just too much of a risk to consider buying.
@didierpuzenat72806 ай бұрын
It is 24 kWh (not 22 kWh) and it is for the very cheap version, not the cheap version. So at the end of the day it depends of your needs, for example why would you need more as a second car if they drive less than 50 km per day ? For reference, the average distance per day in Europe in just 30 km, with people driving quite more but also people driving... quite less. BTW, my first EV was a 106 electric with a 75 km range in summer, and for many year it as been perfect as a daily car even with 3 (very young) children. My 106 was my so called "second car" but I used it more than my "first car" (Renault Scenic).
@user-iz8hk1ww7i6 ай бұрын
I totally agree with your points - 24kWh for the cheapest version is not good enough. I drive an electric car with a decent range but you do notice the drop in winter. The winter range of the 24kWh could be annoying low and inconvenient.

I'm currently in my second winter with a 22 kWh electric car, and I've not had any issues. The range is more than enough for my needs; even the occasional work commute over the highway to another city can be done twice before I need to charge, even in winter. I'm sure that other people will have different needs. But don't dismiss something outright just because your own needs are different. The entry spec will easily find buyers who are happy with what it offers them. If I needed a new car next year, it would likely be the top spot on my shortlist of options.

In France you can have 7000 € for a new EV if you are not too much rich (4000 € otherwise), and a charge point for free (500 € max, eg a Tesla wall-connector), and in my city (Lyon) street parking is cheaper for EVs, etc. BTW, range anxiety does not exist, it is just a myth, and I say that after more than 20 years driving an EV.

Assuming 4L/100km and 14kWh/100km, with prices at 0,12€/kWh and 1,8€/L the electric version would become cheaper after around 180 000km. Probably about what a car like this would run, but that is without discounting for interest rates and opportunity costs, but also for lower maintenance fees, parking, congestion charges, taxes and so on. Should probably be a few thousand closer to the petrol, but not necessarily too much.

Please, stop saying that such cars are mostly for cities. Cheap and practical EVs are just perfect for people living outside cities, with most of the time a way to charge at home while it is more difficult in cities. Not to mention families living outside cities often have more than one car. Finally, from now to 2035, public transportation and bicycle infrastructures will be far better in cities, so I am not sure cars have a real future in cities. We need to stop ICE cars but it does not mean we must replace all of them by EVs, especially in cities. BTW, the Citroen 2CV was also cheap and small, and it became a best seller in the country side. In fact, if you really need a city car, the Ami is far better, with a top speed (45 km/h) higher than the speed limit of big cities, at least in France (30 km/h in Paris and Lyon), and you will waste less time to find a place to park (not to mention it costs a third of this cheap e-C3).

New Citroen 2CV
@planestrainsdogsncars43366 ай бұрын
Personally I think the new logo is a bit Ho-Hum, I mean everybody puts their logo in a circle or something ..when the stand alone Chevron showed a certain class. And perhaps the Ami should have been made in China too ...not sure Morocco was the best place, and the build quality doesn't help the Citroen perception of quality.

India has been the dumping ground for some of the most dangerous, dogshit cars that manufactures domestic & foreign can conceive. Global NCAP has been running safety campaigns to improve the situation and some manufacturers are making more of an effort but not Stellantis or Renault. The Renault Kwid (which is the basis of the Dacia Spring) earned 0 stars in Global NCAP and only 1 star in its bolstered EV form for Euro NCAP. And the C3 was a death trap too with 0 stars in Latin NCAP. Basically if you were in a frontal collision in a C3 you and your kids were dead since the frame was described as "unstable" - basically projecting into the occupants. Citroen would have to do a LOT of work to bring this car to a standard where it would be judged favourably by Euro NCAP - AEB for cars & pedestrians, stiffened body, side impact protection & airbags, more front impact protection, etc. Or they could do a box ticking exercise and earn a 1 star rating and I would not be surprised if that turned out to be the case.

Journalists were anticipating £20-21k so it's not sounding quite as appealing. Though I'm sure dealers and brokers will knock a bit off.

What is the price for a basic Polo or even a Hyundai i10.... So relative to the UK's crazy prices, £23k is cheap. More importantly it is the finance package is affordable (bearing in mind saving £150/mth in petrol is helpful).

The old C3 was just over £13k , a £10K price rise is madness. Would have possibly made sense if they made it with V2G

Amazes me that we are being told cars that are apparently 'cheap', that now only last 100,000 miles, will depreciate in value rapidly and electricity will slowly surpass petrol prices & become more and more expensive. Its almost as if they also expect you too change it every 3 years. Cars have become an absolute rip off, and are quite possibly the worst financial outlay you will experience. Also I am totally put off buying a used one as the battery will have deteriorated (like a used mobile phone). Hydrogen looks a far better prospect imho.
