Citroen e-C5 Aircross offers 421 miles of range for £33k

Full £3750 government grant makes electric C5 Aircross one of the longest-range EVs at its price point

The Citroën ë-C5 Aircross EV has gone on sale in the UK, offering 421 miles of range for £32,935.
The relatively low price for the Long Range version is thanks to it becoming eligible for the UK government’s full £3750 Electric Car Grant (ECG), becoming only the third EV to do so.
The larger grant applies only to the Long Range variant, because its battery cells are produced in France. Those in the standard Comfort Range version are not, so it qualifies for the lesser £1500 grant.
While 38 sub-£37k EVs have now been named eligible for the ECG scheme, only two of those – the Ford Puma Gen-E and Ford E-Tourneo Courier – had been given the higher, £3750 amount, with the other 36 landing a £1500 discount.

It also means that the Long Range version is only £370 mor
