Citroën officially announced the arrival of the ë-C3 on the Japanese market, consolidating its strategy of democratizing access to electric vehicles in one of the largest global automotive hubs. The compact hatchback arrives in the Asian country with a proposal to balance advanced technology, competitive price and practicality for the intense urban use that characterizes Japanese cities.
Especificações techniques and model autonomy
The ë-C3 maintains the compact dimensions of the C3 line, facilitating maneuvers in narrow streets and limited parking spaces typical of Japanese urban centers. The battery offers a range of between 300 and 400 kilometers per full charge, sufficient for daily journeys without the need for frequent recharging. The regenerative braking system recovers energy during deceleration, optimizing energy efficiency in congested traffic.
Fast Carregamento at public points reduces stopping time to 30 minutes to reach 80% capacity. Using a domestic socket, the time varies between seven and eight hours for a full charge. Thermal management Sistema maintains consistent performance in varying climates, particularly relevant for regions with harsh winters in the Japanese archipelago.
