A new world is opening up for you
There are several elements that can have an impact on your electric car's range, such as weather conditions as well as your own driving style. Find out more about the factors that can influence the efficiency and the range of an electric car's battery.



Speed & acceleration
Put simply, the faster you travel the more quickly your battery will deplete. A smooth driving style with gentle acceleration and lower speeds conserves energy.
Driving style & route elevation
How you drive and how many hills you encounter on your route both play a part in the range of your electric vehicle. By using the "Eco" driving mode (one of three different driving modes available on DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE), some functions such as internal temperature and air recirculation are slightly altered to reduce energy consumption. Using regenerative braking and adopting a smooth driving style can increase your range by up to 20%.
Temperature
Range can vary by up to 35% between summer and winter. Using the MyDS app, you are able to use the car's thermal pre-conditioning function. This allows the car to heat or cool to the required temperature before starting your journey whilst plugged in, therefore conserving battery energy and increasing your range.

RECHARGE It's always the right time for charging
There are several different ways to charge your electric car's battery. The time taken to charge your battery depends on which charging method you use.
The most convenient method is to get a charging point installed at home (via our partner Pod Point). On longer trips, you can stop for a short break at a rapid charging point. By using one of these you can charge up to 80% of your battery in just 30 mins (with 100kW).

No compromises
DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE was designed from the outset to be an electric car: its combination of style and performance gives unique driving enjoyment. Get ready to try a new generation of mobility, with no compromises in performance compared to petrol or diesel motoring and remarkable efficiency.
Access Low Emission Zones
In order to improve air quality many urban areas are now implementing Low Emissions Zones, restricting access or implementing charges for older, more polluting vehicles.
The bright blue LED located at the top of the windscreen indicates that DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE is an electric vehicle with zero emissions, allowing you to access these areas in many cases at no cost.
Tax & financial incentives
Road tax costs (Vehicle Excise Duty) are £0 and there are substantial tax incentives for business car drivers and businesses to make the switch to 100% electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.
To find out more about the benefits of owning an ultra-low emission vehicle, visit www.GoUltraLow.com.
Lower servicing & maintenance costs
Electric motors are less complex than their petrol and diesel counterparts, which means that servicing and maintenance costs are lower over the life of the vehicle. Electric vehicle technology also means that some wear parts last longer. For example, the use of regenerative braking on electric vehicles means that brake discs don't wear out as quickly.
^The vehicle will rapid charge at a rate of up to 100kW, depending on the power of the rapid charging station used and will take longer to charge at a lower power. Rapid charging stations are available across the UK at various locations and their power rating varies, typically from 50kW and sometimes up to 350kW.
