Overview

This guide refers to the 50kWh Citroën ë-Dispatch (though a 75kWh is available), a very welcome addition to the selection of BEV vans in the market, with very similar spec to the Vauxhall Vivaro-e and Peugeot e-Expert but with its distinctively modern Citroën design at the front. While this is the shorter range variant it is still punching out well over 100 miles of range, plenty for many delivery applications, and 100kW DC charging means it can get another 100 miles with just ~30 mins of en route charge.

Charging Details

Charging time for a Citroën ë-Dispatch

The table below shows the estimated time to charge your ë-Dispatch from empty to full. For rapid charging, we show the time to charge from 20% - 80%, as charging tends to slow outside this range to protect the battery.

* Based on EV Made Easy estimates, charging time can differ based on the ambient temperature, the state of the battery (e.g. empty or half full) and variation in charging rate. Max charging rate may also be limited by the vehicle.
** Range per hour is the number of miles you can expect to get from an hour of charging at the relevant rate.

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO2 emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
