Citroën ë-C3 Home Charging: Time, Cost and the Right Charger
The Citroën ë-C3's onboard AC charger takes 7.4 kW as standard, 11 kW on some trims. At home, charging from 20% to 80% with a 7.4 kW charger takes: Standard (43.8 kWh) 3 h 57 min. A 22 kW charger will not charge this car any faster. Because the standard onboard charger is single-phase, the car takes 3.7 kW from a three-phase 11 kW (3×16 A) charger. Charging at home costs about £4.39 per 100 km at UK household prices.

Home charging time (20% to 80%)
Charging speed is set by the car's onboard AC charger, not by the wallbox. The Citroën ë-C3 takes at most 7.4 kW with the standard unit; a more powerful charger cannot exceed this limit. Because the standard onboard charger is single-phase, the car takes 3.7 kW from a three-phase 11 kW (3×16 A) charger.

V2L and C2L adaptersFrequently asked questions
- How long does the Citroën ë-C3 take to charge at home?
- From 20% to 80%: with a single-phase 7.4 kW charger Standard (43.8 kWh) 3 h 57 min; with a 3.7 kW (16 A single-phase) portable charger Standard (43.8 kWh) 7 h 54 min. Times depend on the car's onboard AC charger and the battery's state of charge.
- Which charger is right for the Citroën ë-C3?
- Because the car's onboard AC charger takes 7.4 kW as standard and is single-phase, a single-phase 7.4 kW (32 A) wallbox gives the fastest charging the car can accept. On a three-phase 11 kW (3×16 A) charger the car drops to 3.7 kW.
- How many kW does the Citroën ë-C3 take from a three-phase 11 kW charger?
- 3.7 kW with the standard onboard charger. The Citroën ë-C3's standard onboard charger is single-phase: a three-phase 11 kW charger (3×16 A) supplies at most 16 A per phase, and the car uses only one phase. From 20% to 80% takes Standard (43.8 kWh) 7 h 54 min; with a single-phase 7.4 kW (32 A) charger Standard (43.8 kWh) 3 h 57 min. For this car a single-phase 7.4 kW charger is faster; a three-phase 22 kW charger (3×32 A) gives the same speed because it supplies 32 A on one phase. If your car has the optional 11 kW three-phase unit, an 11 kW charger delivers full power; check your registration document or equipment list to see which unit you have.
- Does a 22 kW charger charge the Citroën ë-C3 faster?
- No. The Citroën ë-C3 takes at most 7.4 kW AC; a 22 kW charger gives this car the same power. A 22 kW charger only makes sense for a future car that supports 22 kW or for shared use.
- How much does it cost to charge the Citroën ë-C3 at home?
- At the Ofgem price cap (£0.26/kWh, 10.2026) 100 km costs about £4.39. At public AC chargers you pay about £9.00 on average, at DC rapid chargers about £12.55. Tariffs with cheaper night rates lower the cost further.
- Does the Citroën ë-C3 support V2L?
- According to EV Database, the Citroën ë-C3 does not support V2L (vehicle-to-load). For camping or site work, C2L adapters that take power from a charging point work independently of the car.
