    I am getting a range of 240+ km in city drive condition. I always recharge when the charge is down to around 15 to 20 percent.
    We dont even drive gasoline/diesel car to empty tank. Therefore i dont understand why would anyone drive an ev to zero charge.
    This is a very good car and i am happy to own it. It is one of the best option available in market as of now.

    This is by far the most informative video of EC3 Citroen on UA-cam. Let me add to it that my car is not giving me more than 150-170 kms range without AC and with AC it is even far lesser. This car has lot of issues with its range, quality, and lot of cost cutting is been done. It’s NCAP rating is zero absolute disaster to safety of its occupants. Not a car recommend for buying.

    I think this is the first EV i've seen that doesnt show exact range. Most EVs though in limp mode, can still be driven beyond 0km range. I think Citroen needs to recalibrate the eC3 system. How bad was it as a purely City Car though? I mean compared to its closest competitor? In terms of driving, seat comfort and ride?

    The issue with turtle mode and the car dying at 1.6% is because it's an LFP battery. Unlike NCM/NCA battery, LFP has a flat discharge curve and the car needs to learn the SOC gauging properly. It's too new car and the BMS probably didn't learn it yet. You mentioned it had only 370 km on the clock.
    You should fully charge and discharge the car a few times before testing it. Then you should have accurate SOC readings.

    So instead of saying "better be home before (time)", we'll now have to say "Better be home before covering 200 km".
    Still 200 km on a single charge is not bad for my area - Goa. Though I think the Tata Tiago EV has done better.
    If someone can confirm that for me, it'll be really helpful.

    • @zigwheels
      @zigwheels  Рік тому +1

      Hi Ram,
      We have done a back to back test of their ADAS. The Verna's radar-based ADAS system has better calibration. It is not too sensitive, and the lane-keep assist works wonderfully well as it keeps the car in the center of the lane. The City's camera-based system works well too but doesn't feel as sophisticated as Verna's, and it struggles when it's dark since it relies solely on camera technology.
