Home & Destination Charging (0 → 100%)
Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always via a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the EVSE used and the maximum AC capacity of the vehicle. The table shows all options for charging the Citroën e-C3; availability of 1-phase/3-phase connections varies by country.

1-Stop Range Definition ⚡
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stops is considered.
🚗 Driving Profile
- Begin with a fully charged battery
- Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
- Perform a 15-minute fast charge
- Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC
📋 Assumptions
- Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
- No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
- The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
- The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition
⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.
5-Star Rating Definition
Assignment of Stars in 2025
- ☆ 0 less than 200 km
- ★ from 200 km to 325 km
- ★★ from 325 km to 450 km
- ★★★ from 450 km to 575 km
- ★★★★ from 575 km to 700 km
- ★★★★★ more than 700 km
Based on 2025 thresholds: 3 stars awarded for 490 km average. Half-stars interpolated. Vehicles with a rating between these values receive a rating based on a linear scale.
Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
