For more details on the autonomy of a particular vehicle, explore the dedicated vehicle pages. Vehicle technical sheets are also available for download.
You should also know that the real autonomy of your vehicle also depends on several factors:
● The use of heating, air conditioning,
● Your driving style,
● The load transported.
What are the factors that most impact the autonomy of an electric vehicle ?
There are mainly 5 factors that impact the autonomy of an electric vehicle:
● Speed: the faster we drive, the more electricity we consume. At 130km/h the autonomy is divided by 2. Supercharters are available on the motorway network. The time of a coffee break, a lunch and you can recover up to 80% autonomy in about 30 minutes.
Ø Air conditioning/heating: there is a loss of autonomy of 10 to 30% depending on the model.
It is recommended to program heating or air conditioning before taking the steering wheel, as long as it is connected. Thermal preconditioning is possible from your smartphone via the My Citroën Aplication.
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.
