Citroen e-C3 Range
₹11.99 Lakh to ₹13.26 Lakhex-showroom
Range is the number that matters most on the e-C3, and it stays the same across all three trims. The 29.2 kWh battery gives an ARAI rating of up to 330 km on a full charge. A DC fast charger takes the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 57 minutes. A 15A home charger fills it from 10 to 100 percent in around 10 hours 30 minutes. Full charging detail sits on the e-C3 specification sheet.

Range is how far the e-C3 goes on a full charge. Carmakers quote a lab (ARAI/claimed) figure; in real driving, with the AC on and some highway running, you get a bit less, so both are shown below.

Getting the most range from your e-C3
Simple habits that add real kilometres and save the battery.
- 1Charge to 80% for daily useTopping up to 80% is faster and kinder to the battery. Save the full 100% for long trips.
- 2Use a home wallboxA 7.2 kW home charger is the cheapest way to charge and fills the battery overnight.
- 3Go easy on the AC and speedHigh speeds and full air-conditioning use the most energy, so real range drops on the highway.
- 4Use regen brakingLifting off early lets the car recover energy and stretch your range in the city.
Citroen e-C3 range and charging: common questions
How far can the Citroen e-C3 go on a charge?
Up to 330 km on the ARAI cycle from its 29.2 kWh battery. Real range depends on speed, load, traffic and how much air conditioning you use.
How long does the e-C3 take to charge?
A DC fast charger does 10 to 80 percent in about 57 minutes. A 15A home charger takes roughly 10 hours 30 minutes for a 10 to 100 percent fill.
Does e-C3 range change between variants?
No. All three trims share the same battery and motor, so the rated range holds at up to 330 km whether you buy the Live or the Shine.
Will I get the full 330 km in real driving?
Usually a little less. Highway speeds, heavy traffic, a full load and constant air conditioning all trim an EV's real range below its rated figure.
