Citroen offers the eC3 electric hatch in two variants: Live and Feel, both get a 29.2 kWh air-cooled battery pack linked to the front-axle mounted 57PS/143Nm electric motor that enables it to sprint from 0 to 60 kmph in just 6.8 seconds and offers a top speed of 107 kmph. It gets two driving modes – ECO and STANDARD, and claims an ARAI-certified range of 320km. The EV also benefits from regenerative braking technology.
