How big is the battery in the Citroen e-Berlingo and how far will it go?

The e-Berlingo is offered with a 50kWh battery pack. Only 45kWh of the capacity can be used to drive the van. Citroen claims a WLTP range figure of 171 miles, but in real world testing, we’d expect to get between 120-150 miles depending on load and external temperatures. 

Is the there a Government Grant available on the Citroen e-Berlingo?

Yes. The e-Berlingo currently (Feb 2022) qualifies for a Government grant of £2,500 off the purchase price. This applies to all models in the range, including the crew van. 

Will there be a Citroen e-Berlingo with a bigger battery option?

There’s no suggestion that Citroen is planning to offer the e-Berlingo with a bigger battery. And, given that the biggest battery across the entire Citroen range is 50kWh, it’s unlikely that a larger pack will be offered any time soon.

How much can I tow with a Citroen e-Berlingo?

The e-Berlingo is rated for towing loads of up to 750kg (braked and unbraked)

What is the load capacity of the Citroen e-Berlingo?

The e-Berlingo comes in two lengths, standard (M) and long (XL). The standard model has a load area of 3.3m3 while the longer model provides 3.8m3 of space. Both e-Berlingo models come with what Citroen calls an Xtenso system that allows drivers to use a section of the front cab for space. With this in operation, the load areas rise to 3.9m3 and 4.4m3 respectively. 

Is there a version of the Citroen e-Berlingo with five seats?

Yes! Citroen has just launched the passenger-carrying version of the e-Berlingo van. Rather unhelpfully it’s also called the e-Berlingo, but comes with five seats, a vast boot and higher spec materials and equipment. Perfect if you’re looking for a big and practical family electric car.
