Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Citroën ë-Berlingo or the Peugeot e-Rifter?
The Citroën ë-Berlingo is £80 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £120 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Citroën ë-Berlingo and Peugeot e-Rifter like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 145 miles for the Citroën ë-Berlingo and 166 miles for the Peugeot e-Rifter - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-Rifter goes roughly 21 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Citroën ë-Berlingo or the Peugeot e-Rifter?
The Citroën ë-Berlingo is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 73 mm narrower than the Peugeot e-Rifter. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 552 mm of total clearance for the Citroën ë-Berlingo and about 479 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-Rifter.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Citroën ë-Berlingo and 84% for the Peugeot e-Rifter. That gives the Citroën ë-Berlingo a modest edge in retained real-world range.
