Citroen Electric Vehicles

Why go electric?

The future of motoring is here and it’s electric. And, with the range of new electric and hybrid models from Citroën, it’s easy to make the change.

Citroën electric vehicles

With the UK government looking for uptake of electric vehicles to be complete no later than 2035, there’s never been a better time to switch. Among the Citroën lineup of vehicles embracing this change, you will find some of the most innovative and capable technology around.

Benefits of Buying Electric


It’s not only that the UK government is looking to ban the sale of petrol and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035 that you should look to switch to electric motoring - there are myriad benefits available to you too. At present, those investing in such a model are able to take advantage of grants to help fund their purchase, with these benefits going towards the vehicle price and the cost of home charging solutions. In addition, you will be able to take advantage of improved running costs, lower road tax, and even more cost-effective maintenance charges. And, of course, you will be playing your part in reducing harmful CO2 emissions.

  • More cost-effective running costs
  • Cleaner and greener performance
  • Nationwide charging points
  • Government grants for purchasing
