The verdict

What's good

Electric drivetrain makes the Berlingo genuinely quiet for family use
Zero tailpipe emissions qualify it for clean-air zone exemptions in many cities
Sliding rear doors and flat floor remain intact in the EV conversion
Home charging overnight gives stress-free range for typical family use patterns

What's not

Range of 230 miles means range anxiety on loaded longer family trips
Top speed of 84 mph is below average for a family MPV
Charging speed is slower than many EV rivals making road trips inconvenient
Heavier than the ICE Berlingo, which dulls loaded hill-start response

The engine

Electric

Single-Motor Electric

Tuned for comfort over outright pace, Citroën's electric models offer smooth, effortless urban torque in keeping with the brand's long obsession with a soft, cosseting ride.

The newest ë-C3 and its derivatives sit on Stellantis' cost-focused 'Smart Car' platform, an evolution of the Common Modular Platform engineered to make affordable EVs viable in Europe.

The ë-C3 was launched as one of Europe's first genuinely affordable electric cars, deliberately undercutting the segment on price.
Its motor and battery hardware is shared with Peugeot, Opel/Vauxhall and Fiat siblings built on the same Stellantis architecture.
The Smart Car platform is slated to underpin around seven different Stellantis models, spreading development costs across brands.
