The car is Citroen’s version of the Peugeot iOn car shown at Frankfurt – both are based on Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV small electric car.
Owners can plug the supply cord into a 220-volt socket to charge the battery. A complete charge takes six hours, while an 80% charge is possible in just 30 minutes using an external station with a single-phase current of 125A at 400V, for power of up to 50kW.
Citroen says that the four-seater has compact exterior dimensions – 3.48m long.
A range of around 130km (80miles) is claimed over a standard combined cycle. The car will have a top speed of 130kph (80mph), acceleration from 0-100kph (0-62mph) in 15 seconds and 60-90kph (37-56mph) in 6 seconds.
Citroen also said it plans the launch of a full-hybrid vehicle, the DS5, in 2011.
