Ø cold: loss of autonomy of approximately 5% when the external temperatures is below 0 ° C.

● Driving style: a loss of autonomy has been found of around 10% with sports driving.

● The load transported: the more your vehicle will be loaded (luggage, cargo) and the less its autonomy will be important.

● Wear: loss of around 10% to 15% after 5 years of use or 75.000 km. At Citroën, the battery is guaranteed 8 years or 160.000 km at 1st maturity and it is guaranteed for a load of 70% of its capacity.
