Charging Speed

The Citroën ë-Berlingo has the higher published DC charging figure at 100 kW, which is roughly 25% higher than the Renault Kangoo E-Tech at 80 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 Citroën ë-Berlingo is listed at about 30 minutes, which is 10 minutes quicker than the Renault Kangoo E-Tech at 40 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Renault Kangoo E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 285 km, which is roughly 5 km more than the Citroën ë-Berlingo at approximately 280 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 Renault Kangoo E-Tech consumes 200 Wh/km, compared to 233 Wh/km for the Citroën ë-Berlingo. That means the Renault Kangoo E-Tech 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 Renault Kangoo E-Tech has approximately 45 kWh of useable battery , while the Citroën ë-Berlingo has approximately 50 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Citroën ë-Berlingo has the higher published DC figure (up to 100 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 30 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 Renault Kangoo E-Tech supports up to 11 kW (22 kW optional), compared to up to 11 kW for the Citroën ë-Berlingo. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Renault Kangoo E-Tech is the more efficient choice at 200 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Renault Kangoo E-Tech has a WLTP rated range of approximately 285 km, which is roughly 5 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
