Our electric car with outstanding range

The batteries in your DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE ensure range can be extended. Due to energy recovery during braking you can cover up to 236 miles around town. Powerful and reliable at the same time, every journey is special.

DESIGN YOUR DS

Find out all about the range of your electric car

A new world is opening up for you

Numerous things can shape the range of your electric vehicle, among them weather conditions as well as your driving style. Find the factors that influence the effectiveness of an electric car’s battery.

Speed

Speed has the greatest impact on your electric car’s range. At a steady 62mph, an electric vehicle has half its WLTP homologated range.

Driving Style and Elevation

How you drive and the hilliness of your route play a part in the range of your electric vehicle. As well as Eco mode, selected from the three driving modes, we suggest you focus on eco-driving. Using the regenerative braking and a smooth driving style can increase your range by up to 20%.

Temperature

Range can vary by up to 35% between spring and winter.

Using the MyDS app, switch on your car’s thermal pre-set function when it is plugged in to increase your range and limit the impact of heating or cooling the cockpit on the battery.

Remote pre-warming

When comfort goes hand in hand with range

Pre-warming your DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE enables you to maximise the range of its battery. This function can be programmed remotely through your MyDS app. It means you’ll get into an electric car that’s at the perfect temperature with a battery that’s also pre-warmed and therefore operating at its most efficient.

Drive modes

Select the mode that suits you best

With DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE three drive modes are available drawing more or less energy from the battery.
Eco mode lets you conserve the range of your electric vehicle. Some functions such as cockpit temperature and recirculating air are slightly altered to reduce energy use.
Sport mode boosts driver enjoyment. When engaged it lets your DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE deliver maximum power and torque for a thrilling experience.
Normal mode controls the car’s various parameters to ensure maximum comfort on every journey.

Regenerative braking

Your car charges itself while driving

Thanks to our participation in Formula E, we’ve developed several innovations such as regenerative braking. Like an engine brake, you can turn kinetic energy into electricity as you decelerate, thereby charging your electric car’s battery. Through energy recovery during braking you can increase the range of your DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE by up to 20% around town. This function can be engaged with a simple push on the gear lever.

It's always the right time for charging

There are different ways to charge your electric car’s battery. Depending on the means of charging you choose, charging time can be increased or decreased.

You can decide to charge in your usual parking places: overnight at home or during the day at work for example. On longer trips, stop for a short break at a rapid charging point. You’ll recover 80% of your range in 30 minutes using 100kW RAPID charging^.

Charging cables

Charging Cables

With your Mode 2 cable, top up the battery of your electric car through a conventional domestic socket. This is recommended for occasional use only and you should have any sockets checked for suitability by a qualified electrician. As charging is limited to 10amps (2.3kW), this will take substantially longer to reach 100% than using a charging point.

With the Mode 3 cable, connect your DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE to a dedicated electric vehicle charging point. Your DS Retailer can assist in getting one installed in your home or workplace, via our recommended charging partner. Charging at 7kW, which is most appropriate for UK households, will take 7.5 hours for a full charge.

If you have access to three-phase power (not common in UK), you could upgrade your vehicle with the factory option 11kW three-phase On Board Charger. This would reduce charging times to 5 hours 15 mins on an 11kW three phase supply.

Charge as easily on the road as at home

Before starting out it’s easy to plan your trip: we’ll show you charging points on your route. At a 100kW rapid charger you can add 5.6 miles of range every minute.

CALCULATE THE CHARGING TIME OF YOUR DS

The range figure mentioned comply with the WLTP test procedure, on the basis of which new vehicles are type approved from 1 September 2018. They may vary depending on actual conditions of use and on different factors such as : speed, thermal comfort on board the vehicle, driving style and outside temperature. The charging time depends in particular on the power of the charger on board the vehicle, the charging cable and the type and power of the charging station used. These values are communicated for purely indicative purposes and therefore has no general value. Please contact your dealer for further information. For more information about WLTP click here.
