Citroen e-C4 First Drive - Can this EV compete? | Fully Charged for CARS

SUBSCRIBE! LIKE if you're impressed by the e-C4 & SHARE if you think EVs should be more affordable

Robert really likes the e-C4, its 'supremely satisfactory', but he's struggling to rave about it. It's a really nice compact SUV, good to drive, decent range and packed full of lovely features. But are they all needed? As with other EVs, when compared with their petrol/diesel counterparts, could they be stripped down of some of these add-ons to bring the price down to being more affordable? Does anyone really need their back massaged while driving?

I absolutely love it. Thanks to Citroën for bringing a car with Rolls Royce comfort aspirations for a more proletarian price.
The market are filled with Ferrari wannabe cars, riding with harsh suspension setups and low profile. With most cars one cannot give granny a lift without worrying whether she will lose her teeth at the next road undulation. So bravo Citroën.

"SatNav woman you have no authority here".

Robert "Turn navigation voice off!"

NAV9000: "I'm sorry Robert, I'm afraid I can't do that."

I watch Fully Charged preligiously.
And I don't have a car, need a car, or currently want a car.

[johanns]

I love that soo many new ev’s are coming to the market!

[SergeiJonovich]

Just my take on it, but I think the reason for all the Gizmo's is they actually cost next to nothing for the manufacturer to supply and fit them and are very profitable when customers choose them on their ICE vehicles. On EV's there is an expensive overhead for the actual EV system, so they offset it by bunging in all those gizmo's.

[jedoka]

I wonder if car manufacturers are only releasing expensive ev’s to limit the number they sell, whilst access to batteries is still limited?

[jbmaru]

C'mon Citroën, bring out the electric 2CV!

[astromikael]

11:47 'why can't you buy this electric car WITHOUT all the extra equipment at a cheap price? I haven't seen an answer for that'. This is easy to answer: mainstream manufacturers do not have the production infrastructure (e.g. battery production capacity) to sell E-cars in large numbers. Hence, throwing in all this extra stuff they can argue for a high 'luxury price' and thus keep sales numbers down to managable levels.

Nice, I’ve always liked Citroen for being bold and a little bit different from other manufactures.

[cannygrowabeard]

14:11 I am starting to think Robert wants a Dacia Sandero or even a Lada Niva with no radio, no AC and the powertrain of the Zoe. Wait that’s what I want, I’ll be over here.

[TheRocky]

Couldn't agree more about the way these are being priced against ice counterparts.

Thanks for showing under the hood, always find it interesting to see how ice manufacturers are packaging the power train in the same body's as the ice cars .

The reason is, that cheap electric cars at this point only make sense when fully equipt because of the higher margins in the extras.

[neddyl]

Fully agree with your "little rant" about stuffing unnecessary extras into electric cars without offering a base model.

[dufonrafal]

Adjust the volume when the sat nav is talking, that's it.

[flemminghansen]

very nice video, i am getting one in the middle of december and its going to be the shine sport version and in Red Elixier color and its really going to be great and i really cant wait for it, i am really happy about it....greetings from flemming hansen

[TechInTheCar]

I shall be doing an infotainment walk-through video guide on my channel of the e-C4 so you can also learn how to turn off the Sat Nav voice - it isn't out yet but keep an eye on my channel!

[husnainanwaar]

Citroen is the most underrated car company; they have Dakar and WRC more than any other car brand

[MJSEN]

Love when you call it citron 🍋 excellent video as always!

[daddio]

Also a good idea would be fit the charging cables under the 'Bonnet', easy to get to rather than under the boot floor.
