Buying the Citroën C5 Aircross EV in United Kingdom
- 1Range: the 323 miles figure quoted in United Kingdom is on the WLTP test cycle. WLTP is closer to real life than older tests but still ~10–20% optimistic on the motorway in winter.
- 2Charging: a 73 kWh pack refills overnight on a 7 kW home wallbox; on the road you'll use CCS (DC rapid) and Type 2 (AC); home wallbox plus the public rapid network — this model does 20-80% in 30 min (160 kW DC).
- 3Incentives: The Electric Car Grant (launched July 2025) gives up to £3,750 off eligible new EVs priced at or below £37,000, applied at the point of sale. Company-car drivers save further via salary-sacrifice and low Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax. Note EVs began paying VED (road tax) from April 2025.
- 4Climate: Cold, damp winters trim range and slow rapid charging — pre-condition the battery before a rapid stop.
- 5Fit: ample for daily driving and longer motorway runs without range anxiety.
