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.

Range only 200kms lots of sw issues waste of money

Range only 200kms giving sw issue cant start car once issue came Very poor roadside assistance sent RSA after 14 hrs in a city like Pune The problem was not solved after that and was sent to higher management but they were also not helpful better to go for Toyota or Hyundai or tata because waste of money on EV PLS do buy THIS CAR I BOUGHT it for 20 lakhs they deducted the price to 18 lakhs.
