ë-C4 54 kWh

The Citroën ë-C4 54 kWh is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £30,005. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.1 seconds, slower than 85% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 202 miles (325 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 23% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 29th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 4.0 mi/kWh (156 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 50.8 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 79 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 219 miles (353 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £149 per mile of real-world range, close to the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £14,300–£16,100 and a 2025 one at £17,100–£19,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 194 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
