For a vehicle of five metres or more, having the socket at the front rather than the back takes a whole size of cable off the requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a working van this is the detail that saves money. A five metre vehicle with a rear socket needs ten or fifteen metres of cable on most yards and driveways. With the inlet ahead of the sliding door, a driver who noses into the space can often manage on five metres, and the lead is out of the way of the load doors while it is plugged in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo batteries and two charge times\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 50 kWh van is quoted at up to 148 miles and the 75 kWh at 211 miles when it launched, revised to 219 on the current price guide and 221 on Citroen's website. The larger pack is 75 kWh gross and 69 kWh usable by Citroen's own statement; the smaller one is 50 kWh gross with no published usable figure, though the identical pack in the e-SpaceTourer is recorded at 46.3 kWh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCitroen publishes full charge times for both. The 75 kWh van takes 36 hours 45 minutes from a domestic plug, 11 hours 20 minutes on a 7.4 kW single phase wall box, or seven and a half hours on an 11 kW three phase one, with 45 minutes to eighty per cent on a 100 kW rapid. The 50 kWh van is seven and a half hours single phase and four hours 45 three phase. Note which of those applies to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe three phase option, and Citroen's own warning about it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo chargers are offered: 7.4 kW single phase as standard, and 11 kW three phase at extra cost. The upgrade is worth having where three phase power exists and worth nothing at all where it does not, which on a driveway is almost always the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnusually, the manufacturer says the quiet part out loud. Citroen's own van price list states that on a single phase supply the optional 11 kW three phase charger will charge the vehicle more slowly than the standard 7.4 kW single phase one. We have not seen another maker put it that plainly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a small inconsistency in Citroen's material worth flagging. The 2023 price list lists the 11 kW charger as a 400 pound option while the current model page says the van \"is equipped with a 11kw onboard charger\". Whichever your van has, the answer at a depot or a house on a single phase supply is 7.4 kW and a 32A cable. No cable can lift that figure: the onboard charger decides it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 46.3 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 69 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A single phase at home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 11 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHours come from dividing the pack by the power the car actually draws, with 13 per cent added for losses. Range added per hour assumes a year round 3.5 miles per kWh rather than a best case figure. Columns are the 50 kWh van at 46.3 kWh usable and the 75 kWh at 69. Our figures line up closely with Citroen's own published times, which is a useful check on the method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a van that runs six days a week the overnight charge is the whole operation. Eleven hours on the larger pack from genuinely empty means a van that comes back at six in the evening is full by morning, and the battery warranty runs to eight years or 100,000 miles at seventy per cent capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for an e-Dispatch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFive metres is a realistic choice here, which is unusual advice for a commercial vehicle, and it is entirely because of where Citroen put the socket.
