Alpine A390 vs Leapmotor C10

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Alpine A390 has the higher published DC fast-charging figure at 200 kW, which is roughly 138% higher than the Leapmotor C10 at 84 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 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Alpine A390 finishes in about 27 minutes, which is 23 minutes quicker than the Leapmotor C10 at 50 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Alpine A390 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 550 km, which is roughly 60 km more than the Leapmotor C10 at approximately 490 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 Alpine A390 consumes 189 Wh/km, compared to 200 Wh/km for the Leapmotor C10. That means the Alpine A390 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 Alpine A390 has approximately 89 kWh of useable battery , while the Leapmotor C10 has approximately 82 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Alpine A390 has the higher published DC figure (up to 200 kW) while matching the quickest published 10-80% time at approximately 27 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Alpine A390 supports up to 22 kW, compared to 6.6 kW for the Leapmotor C10. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Alpine A390 is the more efficient choice at 189 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Alpine A390 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 550 km, which is roughly 60 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
