The Citroen e-C3 has a clear and admirable mission: make electric motoring accessible to the masses. At around 23,000 euros, it is one of the most affordable new EVs available, and it delivers on the basics with approximately 200 miles of range and the signature Advanced Comfort suspension that smooths out urban roads beautifully. The minimalist interior is functional if sparse, with a 10.25-inch touchscreen handling most controls. Performance is modest with 113 horsepower, but perfectly adequate for the city driving this car is designed for. The LFP battery chemistry offers good longevity and safety characteristics. Where the e-C3 compromises is in highway refinement -- wind and road noise intrude at speed, and the modest power output makes overtaking less confident. It is not the most exciting EV to drive, but it was never meant to be. For buyers seeking an honest, affordable, and practical electric city car, the e-C3 fulfills its brief admirably.
