That headline range comes from a fixed lab test. In Europe, it is WLTP. In India, most brands quote the ARAI/MIDC result. For the Citroen eC3, the 320 km figure is from the Indian ARAI test. This is derived from running the car in a controlled environment - on a rolling road in a lab, at set gentle speeds, with no AC, light load and its battery temperature too is maintained at optimum levels. In the real world, however, different driving styles, ambient temperatures, air-con use, and gradient changes are likely to hamper efficiency. So the real-world figure is usually much lower than the manufacturer's claimed numbers.In our real-world tests, the eC3 delivered 228km, which is largely in line with the 230 km predicted range that's displayed when your car's battery is fully charged. The vehicle's on-board computer studies your previous driving style, based on which it displays a predicted range number.To check your real range, charge to 100%, reset the trip, drive to about 10-15% SoC and see the kilometres covered. If it is far lower than expected, even with calm driving, check tyre pressures and ask the dealer to scan for software updates or battery health.
