Alpine A290 vs Lancia Ypsilon Electric

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Lancia Ypsilon Electric has the higher published DC charging figure at 100 kW, which is comparable to the Alpine A290 at 100 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Lancia Ypsilon Electric is listed at about 27 minutes, which is 3 minutes quicker than the Alpine A290 at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Lancia Ypsilon Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 403 km, which is roughly 23 km more than the Alpine A290 at approximately 380 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Lancia Ypsilon Electric consumes 156 Wh/km, compared to 170 Wh/km for the Alpine A290. That means the Lancia Ypsilon Electric uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Lancia Ypsilon Electric has approximately 50.8 kWh of useable battery , while the Alpine A290 has approximately 52 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both cars show similar published DC fast-charging figures at 100 kW. For road trips, the one with more range between stops may be more practical.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Lancia Ypsilon Electric is the more efficient choice at 156 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Lancia Ypsilon Electric has a WLTP rated range of approximately 403 km, which is roughly 23 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
