CITROEN E-DISPATCH - AN ELECTRIC VAN THAT GOES THE DISTANCE!

EV Channels Review

The Citroen eDispatch, equipped with a 75kWh battery, proves to be a highly capable electric van, exceeding initial range expectations. Over a week of extensive use, covering approximately 1400 miles, the reviewer consistently achieved around 180-190 miles per charge, with a real-world efficiency of 2.9 miles per kWh. While the van's size presents some visibility challenges for certain drivers, its powerful and effortless driving experience, coupled with excellent build quality and surprisingly good halogen headlights with cornering function, are significant positives. The reviewer also highlights the practical storage solutions and the surprisingly comfortable seats after adjusting the lumbar support. Charging speeds are impressive, with 100 miles achievable in about 15 minutes on high-power chargers. Minor drawbacks include a firm initial seat feel and the frustrating unreliability of public charging infrastructure, which the reviewer experienced firsthand. Despite these issues, the eDispatch is lauded as a superb workhorse that offers a compelling alternative to diesel vans, delivering performance and practicality at a potentially low running cost.
