Consumption~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To charge the battery full, it need approx. 7-8 hours. After the 4. hour, it is near "0" charge. The reason is, that th(in the car) charge within the first 4 hours all batteries tougether. Here the batteries can get a little bit power differhours the charger charge every battery singular to the same power. This need more time and do not need muchtake approx. 17 kWh power if I charge it full. With this 17 kwh power I can drive approx. 100 ks (62 Miles)

1 l petroleum have approx. 10 kWh power. This means that my car need for 62 miles approx. 0.373 gallons(UK) (petroleum.

Conversions from Liter to Gallonshttp://www.dirk-schuldt.de/einheit/vol.html

To charge my car I need a normal general power outlet (the same as my computeror Televisionuse) with 230 V

Reach~~~~~~~

With one Battery chargeit is possible to drive in summer approx. 100 km. (sometimes I drove 150 km, but normal

I found a length converter at:http://www.knives.at/knifeshop/local/convert.html

100 km are 62.14 Miles.

With Winter wheels I can drive approx. 80 kms.

After a charge of 4 hours the Battery have the power that I can drive above distance.

Engine~~~~~~~~

The power of the engineare 15 kW. Thats not much but the efficiency of the engine is approx. 90%. With this effionly a little bit lower power on the street as other cars.

Insurance price~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As my engine power is low, I pay also only a low insurancefor the car. approx. 70 Euro each year.

Price of the electric power~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have the possibility to take at night for the electric car "night power". The price for this power is lower as for "day

the price is approx. 0.10 Euro for each kW/h with power from Atom, Coal, Gas,...

But I use only renewable power from wind, biomass, sun,... the price for this power is a little bit more 0.13 Euro foI can say that my car do not have any emission!

Quality~~~~~~~

Until now I had no "really" problem. The garage with Citroenworkers are very expensive at the service. At this reCitroen garage for the regular car service.

Volume~~~~~~~~~

My car have 3 doors, 4 seats and a boot. I think that in the boot can fit 3 bear boxes. I is possible (tested) that I dwoman, 2 children and two baby buggies.

Features~~~~~~~

Driver AirbagElectric windowcontrolpower steeringpower brakevery good Battery scalethe car do not have a gear

The car weight is a little bit over 1000 kg.

Practice experience~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is not possible that the Battery will be unforeseen emty because the Battery Scale work very good. It is for mesay the reach, which it is possible to drive. Normaly I say that for 100% power, it is possible to drive 100 km. But iis possible to drive with only 30% power 50 km.

When I drive with the car, the engine is very quiet. There are only the wheels which make a little "sound". It is for

to drive with this car.

The maximum speed are 91 km/h

If I use the brake, the engine will make power and give the power back to the battery. This make the reach also tsimilar high as in a town.

My personal opinion is that this is the perfect car for persons he live in the town or have up to approx. 50 km to thwith the car already to vacation. I do not like the expensive Citroen service prices.

Battery service~~~~~~~~~~~

Citroen make the Battery service apporx. 2-3 times every year. For the battery service I have a agreement for whi

every month and Citroen make the service and if the Battery will break then I receive new. After 80000 kms I recbatteries for my car.

Battery Scale~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have two differenc battery scales. One where I can read the total power from the battery and one where I can repower which I use or which I give to the battery (if I use the brake)

Technical details~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Petroleum prices are rising and rising. At this reason are electric cars a alternative to petroleum cars. And electricemissions. The engine do not need power if you are waiting at the traffic light, the car make power if you use the

You can upload pictures (and the link first appears) once you have a green dotbeside your name ~ that is why you have been able to upload the picture now. AtCiao.de, you have the green dot at 500 points whereas at Ciao.co.uk it is not untilyou the 1001 points have ~ I think I would like an electric car (although it sounds alittle slow) as long as it could carry enough things for me ~ particularly since theroad-fund-tax has been just dropped to 0 for cars with no emissions~ .................................................................................................... ~ ~ jes ~
