For its 30th anniversary, Citroën has introduced a special edition of the Berlingo, with the fully electric version, the ë-Berlingo 30 ans, being the highlight. The ë-Berlingo 30 ans starts at 38,700 € and is available in three configurations: size M with 5 seats, size XL with 5 seats, and size XL with 7 seats. The special edition is based on the PLUS trim and includes additional features, such as 16-inch black alloy wheels, specific "30" badges, and Citroën Advanced Comfort seats with three individual seats in the second row. All versions are powered by the same 136 hp (100 kW) electric motor and 54 kWh battery, offering a range of up to 343 km in mixed conditions and 467 km in urban use. The only differences between the versions are the body length and the number of seats.
The ë-Berlingo 30 ans comes with a 10-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch HD touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless. Additional features include a heated leather steering wheel, a rearview camera, cruise control, emergency braking, and lane departure warning with correction. The vehicle also includes a 7.4 kW on-board charger for alternating current and 100 kW for direct current. It is delivered with a Mode 3 cable and includes the V2L function, which allows the vehicle to supply power to external devices. Citroën is also offering a CEE grant of 3,600 € for eligible buyers.
The cost of charging the ë-Berlingo depends on the charging method. Based on a realistic scenario of 80% home charging during off-peak hours and 20% public charging, the annual cost is approximately 499 €. This is significantly cheaper than charging entirely at public stations, which would cost about 1,300 € per year. Charging at home during off-peak hours is the most economical option, with an estimated monthly cost of around 25 € compared to over 100 € at public stations. A full charge on a 7.4 kW wallbox takes about 7 hours 30 minutes, while 0 to 80% on a 100 kW fast charging station takes about 30 minutes.
Insurance and maintenance costs are also important factors to consider. Based on a standard profile, the annual insurance cost for the ë-Berlingo 30 ans ranges from 356 € for third party to 688 € for all risks. Maintenance for an electric vehicle is generally less than for a traditional internal combustion engine, as there are no oil changes or timing belts. Annual maintenance is estimated at around 150 €, covering checks on the battery, electrical systems, brake and cooling fluid, cabin filter, and tires. The battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km, and Citroën offers an extended warranty under certain conditions.
The total cost of ownership for the first year includes the purchase price, charging, insurance, and maintenance. The M 5-seater version starts at 38,700 €, while the XL 7-seater version is priced at 40,200 €. The difference in purchase price between the versions is up to 1,500 €. Insurance costs have a more significant impact on the annual budget than energy costs. The choice between the different versions depends on the user's needs: the M 5-seater is the most compact and economical, the XL 5-seater is ideal for those who need more cargo space, and the XL 7-seater is best suited for larger families. The cost of use is the same across all versions, so the decision should be based on the required space and features.
