Why Your Charging Speed May Differ

The Citroën C5 Aircross Electric supports up to 160 kW DC charging. InstaVolt chargers deliver up to 150 kW. The network's maximum power is lower than what the car can accept, so your effective speed tops out at roughly 150 kW.

  • Charging slows down above 80% state of charge on most EVs, including the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric.
  • Cold weather reduces charging speed. If your Citroën C5 Aircross Electric supports battery preconditioning, use the built-in navigation to warm the battery before arriving.
  • If multiple cars share the same InstaVolt station, power may be split between stalls.
