CHARGING SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR ELECTRIC OR HYBRID CAR

Whether it's at home, at the office, on your outings near you or during a getaway, there are many charging solutions available to make it easy for you to fully enjoy your electric or plug-in hybrid Citroen.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RECHARGING

THE POWER GRID

It can be monophased - most home installations - or three-phase. Before choosing your charging solution you need to check the type of installation you have.

THE CHARGING STATION

It defines the power distributed and the recharge time of your plug-in electric or hybrid vehicle.

Several solutions are available: standard charging with a domestic or reinforced socket, accelerated charging with a wall box-type charging station at home or on the public network, fast and super fast charging on the public and motorway network. Superchargers from 50kw are equipped with their own cable, they are not compatible with plug-in hybrid vehicles.

THE CHARGING CABLE

The speed of the load also depends on the power that the cable can accommodate. With each charge its cable.

THE ON-BOARD CHARGER

Its role is to convert the alternating current provided by the plugs and charging stations (excluding superchargers) into direct current to power the battery. Its power also determines the recharge times.

 

More powerful on-board chargers can therefore be available as an option, depending on the vehicle, to take advantage of optimized charging times.

THE BATTERY

The traction battery is guaranteed for 8 years or over 160,000 km for at least 70% of its charging capacity.

 

Our electric vehicle batteries are compatible with fast or super-fast charges available on the public grid.

 

*For Citroen Ami: 3 years or 40,000 km

 

 

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

The kilowatt to know the power of the engine

The kilowatt (kW) allows you to know the power of the motor of your electric vehicle. It is multiplied by about 1.36 to get its horsepower.

For example, the Citroën ë-C4 Electric engine is 100 kW or 136 horsepower.

The kilowatthour to measure battery energy

The electric engine of a vehicle is supplied with energy by a battery whose capacity is expressed in kilowatt hours (kWh), ie the quantity of kW that the battery can supply per hour.

For example, the Citroën ë-C4 Electric battery contains 50 kWh of energy. This is equivalent to 50 liters of petrol.

The kilowatt to estimate charging time

The power of the charging stations varies from 3.7 kW to 22 kW for domestic stations and goes up to 100 kW, or even more, for public stations. The higher the measurement, the greater the power delivered. The higher the number of kW, the shorter the charging time.

For example, an 11 kW wall box can store 11 kW of energy. It therefore takes less than 5 hours to recharge the 50 kWh battery of the Citroën ë-C4 Electric.

EACH CHARGE ITS CABLE

Several types of cables are available to optimize the charging of your vehicle.  These cables are available as standard, as an option or as an accessory depending on the vehicle.

Standard mode 2 cable

This cable can provide you with up to 1.8 kW of power. It is used to recharge on a home socket.

Reinforced mode 2 cable

This cable can provide you with up to 3.7 kW of power. It is used to recharge on a Green up-type reinforced home socket that significantly improves charging times compared to a standard socket.

Single-phase mode 3 cable

This cable can provide you with up to 7.4 kW of power. It can be used with a wall box installed at home or on a public charging station. Home charging on wall box allows you to get complete battery life in 2 hours for a plug-in hybrid vehicle and less than 1 night for an electric vehicle.

On a plug-in hybrid vehicle, you will need to take the 7.4kW on-board charger option to take advantage of this type of charging.

 

Three-phase mode 3 cable

Specific to electric vehicles, this cable can provide you with up to 22kW. It is compatible with both a single-phase installation (wall box 7.4kW) or three-phase (wall box 11kW) at home or at work. It is ideal for regular refills on public charging stations. On three-phase installations, it will allow you to enjoy better charging times.

To enjoy the benefits of this type of charging, your vehicle must be equipped with an 11kW on-board charger (optional).

 

PRIVATE RECHARGE AT HOME OR AT WORK

Recharging your hybrid vehicle: it's easy

You can quite load your vehicle onto a conventional home socket, with the domestic cable socket provided standard.

If you want a faster refill, opt for a reinforced socket or a wall box. Both have different characteristics:

● The wall box, the most powerful, can reduce your charging time to the maximum.

● The enhanced grip, on the other hand, represents a good compromise. More economical, it offers a lower charging than on the wall box.

 

With a 7.4 kW wall box socket

You recover 100% in less than 2 hours, or 55 km of electric range.

Autonomy in electric mode between 54 and 55 km depending on the options fitted to the car. Autonomy may vary depending on the actual conditions of use.

 

With a 3.7 kW reinforced domestic socket

 

You recover 100% in less than 4 hours, or 55 km of electric range.

Autonomy in electric mode between 54 and 55 km depending on the options fitted to the car. Autonomy may vary depending on the actual conditions of use.

 

With a classical domestic socket

You recover 100% in less than 7 hours, or 55 km of electric range.

Autonomy in electric mode between 54 and 55 km depending on the options fitted to the car. Autonomy may vary depending on the actual conditions of use.

 

RECHARGING YOUR HYBRID VEHICLE: IT'S EASY

There are several charging modes depending on the miles you travel daily and the charging solutions you also have outside your home.

 

● Wall box 7.4kW or 11kW: Installing a wall box charging station is the perfect solution if you want to take advantage of optimized charging time. Our partners are available to accompany you from audit to installation. This type of installation will allow you to benefit from government assistance.

 

● Reinforced domestic socket: Green'up type take. It's economical to install, so if you drive little and allows you to recover up to 60% of the load in 1 night.

 

● Standard take: A simple connection on a wall socket. It is not preferred for other electric vehicles because the charging times are long, up to 30% charge in 1 night. It can be used as an occasional charging solution. This is Citroen Ami's charging solution.
