ë-C3 Standard Range 44 kWh

The Citroën ë-C3 Standard Range 44 kWh is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £22,295. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 11.5 seconds, slower than 93% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 158 miles (255 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 50th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (172 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 43.8 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 62 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 168 miles (271 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £141 per mile of real-world range, close to the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £10,600–£11,900 and a 2025 one at £12,700–£14,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 152 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
