Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Citroen e-Berlingo XL 50 kWh. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Citroen e-Berlingo XL 50 kWh can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Citroen e-Berlingo XL 50 kWh.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Avg. Power	Time	Rate
CCS (50 kW DC)	50 kW	45 kW †	49 min	190 km/h
CCS (100 kW DC)	100 kW	80 kW †	28 min	340 km/h
CCS (150 kW DC)	100 kW †	80 kW †	28 min	340 km/h

This vehicle supports Autocharge
This vehicle does not support Plug & Charge

† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle

Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations.

Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.

Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.

# Citroën e-Berlingo XL 50 kWh: The Practical Electric Family MPV

Citroën e-Berlingo XL Overview

The Citroën e-Berlingo XL represents a refreshing approach to electric vehicle design, prioritizing practicality and family-friendly versatility over performance thrills. This seven-seat electric minivan targets families and small business owners who need genuine utility without compromising on zero-emission driving. The XL variant maximizes passenger and cargo space, making it an ideal electric adventure wagon for those valuing function over flash.

The e-Berlingo XL distinguishes itself through its van-like versatility and quirky French design philosophy. Unlike traditional SUV-focused EV lineups, this electric people-mover combines spacious interior dimensions with a compact footprint, making it perfect for urban environments and suburban family duties. The Citroën e-Berlingo platform delivers impressive cargo flexibility while maintaining the brand’s characteristic charm and practicality.

This electric minivan matters in the EV landscape because it proves that electric vehicles don’t need to be performance-oriented or expensive to be compelling. The e-Berlingo XL addresses a genuine market gap for families seeking affordable, practical electric transportation with genuine seven-seat capability.

Citroën e-Berlingo XL Performance and Driving Experience

The Citroën e-Berlingo XL prioritizes comfort and smooth progress over sporty dynamics. Its 100 kW (136 hp) Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor delivers 192 lb-ft of torque, providing adequate power for city driving and highway cruising. The front-wheel-drive setup focuses on predictable, easy handling rather than aggressive acceleration.

The e-Berlingo XL offers a chilled-out driving experience, with suspension tuned to absorb bumps nicely—ideal for school runs and weekend adventures. Regenerative braking helps recoup energy during deceleration, extending range in urban environments. While not a sports car, the Citroën e-Berlingo delivers the practical performance families actually need.

Top Speed	82 mph / 132 km/h
Power Output	136 hp / 100 kW
Torque	192 lb-ft / 260 Nm

Citroën e-Berlingo XL Range and Battery Specifications

The Citroën e-Berlingo XL packs a 50 kWh usable battery (52 kWh nominal), offering an official WLTP range of 206-213 miles depending on configuration. However, the real-world range varies significantly based on driving conditions. In mixed driving, expect 170-180 miles, while motorway driving may reduce range to 140 miles or less.

Efficiency ratings for the e-Berlingo XL range from 2.8 to 3.8 miles per kWh, depending on driving style and conditions. The boxy shape and seven-seat configuration mean the Citroën e-Berlingo won’t match sleeker EVs for efficiency, but it remains respectable for a vehicle of this type. Cold weather significantly impacts the e-Berlingo XL range, with estimates dropping to around 215 km (134 miles) in city driving during winter conditions.

Range Metric	Value
WLTP Range (Official)	206-213 miles / 331-343 km
Real-World Range (Mixed)	170-180 miles / 273-290 km
Real-World Range (Motorway)	140 miles / 225 km
Battery Capacity	50 kWh (usable) / 52 kWh (nominal)
Efficiency	2.8-3.8 miles per kWh

Citroën e-Berlingo XL Charging Times and Options

Home charging flexibility makes the Citroën e-Berlingo XL practical for daily use. The standard 7.4 kW on-board charger delivers a full charge in approximately 7-8 hours, while an optional 11 kW charger reduces this to around 5 hours. For DC fast charging, the e-Berlingo XL supports up to 100 kW charging speed, getting from 10-80% in approximately 30 minutes.

The Citroën e-Berlingo uses CCS Type 2 charging ports in Europe, with a potential US version likely adopting CCS Type 1 or NACS. The relatively small battery means charging costs remain affordable, and the quick DC charging capability makes longer journeys feasible with brief stops.

Charging Method	Time	Speed
Level 1 (120V)	~40 hours	~1.4 kW
Level 2 (7.4 kW)	7-8 hours	7.4 kW
Level 2 (11 kW)	5 hours	11 kW
DC Fast Charge (10-80%)	30 minutes	up to 100 kW
