ËLECTRIC CAR RANGE

While driving without petrol was once a distant vision of the future, electric driving is here and revolutionising models from sports cars to everyday hatchbacks.

To find your ideal electric car and start taking advantage of their lower carbon impact and other benefits, it’s time to find out exactly how they work and the unique strengths of each electrified Citroën model. 

There are two main types of electric cars currently available – plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fully electric vehicles.

Electric vehicles are a new way to drive that draw energy from lithium batteries and direct this energy to an internal motor. This means that you can drive without any tailpipe exhausts and also enjoy a quieter ride with a less intensive power source.

The best electric cars for reducing your fuel consumption and enjoying the full benefits of electric driving are Citroën’s 100% electrified models.

Electric cars draw on power from a battery that you can charge at home or from a growing network of public charging ports.

This process of drawing power electrically allows for faster acceleration and they can feel like a lighter drive if you’re used to petrol-powered cars.

Depending on the size of your car’s battery, you can expect variations in maximum range so be sure to check your model will be suitable for the typical journeys that you expect to use your new electric car for.
