Citroen EC3 Value for money

Citroen needs to work on its application and also needs to have its own charging infrastructure like TATA to compete in this segment. Work on features, and introduce new features.

Era variant accessible

Era variant should not be discontinued. Era variant is right for the common man. Era variant should be restarted. Era variant is cheapest. Era variant is accessible to the public.
