Which city car has the greatest range?
First of all, it is necessary to compare the range of the cars we have. We can legitimately ask the question: which one should be recharged most often? The driving time put forward by the manufacturers is that when the driving is flexible, at 50 kilometers / hour, by 20 ° without air conditioning or car radio. In practice, this time frame may turn out to be less than what brands sell. Fortunately, the dashboards allow us to monitor our energy consumption in real time! Here are the top 10 city cars with the greatest range:
10- Honda e
Tenth place is occupied by the Japanese manufacturer. It offers a small city car with an autonomy of 220km in optimal conditions, which allows daily journeys without recharging.
9- Seat Mii Electric
Three cars are competing for 9th, 8th and 7th places. The Spanish manufacturer SEAT is modernizing its Mii and changing its engine for an electric one that promises no less than 260km of range!

In direct competition with Seat's Mii, a Czech city car wins the rankings. The Skoda Citigo e iV also promises a range of 260km.

The the last car to promise 260km of autonomy is the Volkswagen e-UP. The German brand competes with the Skoda and Seat mentioned above and is intended for the general public.

The sporty version of the BMW i3 promises both dynamic driving and 285km of range.

Which city car charges the fastest?
Have a good range, c is one thing. Recharging your battery is another. If it takes several hours to recharge, it loses a little of its interest. So obviously, different types of terminal are available and this varies the charging time. We are going to charge at home, with a 7.4kW Wallbox. It is indeed one of the most common charging solutions and frequently chosen by electric car drivers.
Small top 5 cars that charge the fastest:
1- The Smart EQ and its three versions: Cabrio, fortwo and forfour
The Smart EQ is available to the delight of fans of the German brand. The electric versions of the Smarts Cabrio, Fortwo and Forfour promise to recharge in 4:25! But this speed is explained by the low range of these small cars, which is only 150km.
2 - Mini electric
The small city cars of the English brand promise an express recharge with only 4h30 to recover its 230km of autonomy. A very attractive asset of this car!
3- The Mitsubishi i-MiEV
The Mitsubishi i- MiEV only takes a little longer than the Smarts EQ and the Mini, with its 4h35 charge. Small flat on this point, a lower autonomy, since 105km.
4- Citroën C-Zero
Citroën is also placed in this ranking with its C-zero. Only 4:40 hours of charging for the brand with the two chevrons.
5- Volkswagen e-UP
And it is again a German car that takes last place in this ranking. A longer recharge, however, with a wait time of 5:25.
6- The other models:
All together, here we give you the recharging times of the other city cars we have told you about, still with a 7.4kW plug:
Renault Zoé: 8:30 a.m.Peugeot e-208: 7:35 a.m.Peugeot iOn: 7:35 a.m.Opel Corsa-e: 7:35 a.m.Honda e: 6:10 a.m.BMW i3: 5:55 a.m.BMW i3s: 5:55 a.m. Skoda Citigo e iV: 5:50 a.m. Seat Mii Electric: 5:50 a.m.
Noticeably recharging times longer. However, it should be noted that the range is also significantly higher.
When choosing an electric car, looking at the battery is essential. Your city car should have enough range to meet your needs and have a low enough recharge time that you can use your car when you need to, and an electric car can make you eligible for the conversion bonus.
