At the charger

How fast does the Citroën C5 Aircross charge?

Estimated 10–80% session times for the C5 Aircross Comfort Range (73 kWh useable), computed by PlugSphere from the battery size, the 11 kW onboard AC charger and a typical DC charging power of 90 kW.

Charger Effective power 10–80% time Range added per 10 min
7.4 kW AC ~6.7 kW ~7 h 40 min ~6 km
11 kW AC ~9.9 kW ~5 h 10 min ~8 km
22 kW AC ~9.9 kW ~5 h 10 min ~8 km
50 kW DC ~50 kW ~61 min ~42 km
150 kW DC ~90 kW ~34 min ~76 km
350 kW DC ~90 kW ~34 min ~76 km

Method: 10–80% covers 70% of the useable battery; AC assumes ~90% charging efficiency; DC assumes the session averages the car's typical charging power up to the charger's limit. Real sessions vary with temperature and battery state.

Citroën C5 Aircross — common questions

Answers computed from this model's data in the PlugSphere database.

Does the Citroën C5 Aircross have a heat pump?

Yes — a heat pump is available, which helps protect driving range in cold weather.

Can the Citroën C5 Aircross tow?

Yes — a towbar is approved with a braked rating of 1,200–1,250 kg depending on the variant. Check the exact variant before buying: towing approval differs between battery and drivetrain versions.

Can it power external devices (V2L)?

Yes — vehicle-to-load is supported, so it can run appliances or tools from the traction battery.

What battery does the Citroën C5 Aircross use?

The reference variant uses a NCM pack with 73 kWh of useable capacity.

Which public chargers can the Citroën C5 Aircross use?

The Citroën C5 Aircross charges via Type 2 CCS. On the PlugSphere map that matches 144,123 stations worldwide, of which 38,056 offer 50 kW+ DC fast charging.

How much does it cost to fully charge a Citroën C5 Aircross?

With its 73 kWh useable battery, a full charge costs about €21.90 at a €0.30/kWh home tariff or roughly €43.80 at a €0.60/kWh public DC charger — before any session or idle fees. Put your own local price into the PlugSphere charging-cost calculator for an exact figure per country and per session.

How long will I be waiting at a charger with a Citroën C5 Aircross?

Plan around 34 minutes for the usual 10–80% stop at a 150 kW charger — the Citroën C5 Aircross sustains roughly 90 kW in a DC session. On AC, a full overnight charge at 11 kW takes about 7 hours. The charging-time calculator covers any charger power and state of charge.

How long does the Citroën C5 Aircross battery last?

Expect the pack to outlast its industry-standard warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km to at least 70% capacity: fleet telemetry shows EV batteries losing only around 1.8–2% a year on average. The C5 Aircross uses NCM chemistry — keep daily charging near 80% to age it gently.

How much does a Citroën C5 Aircross battery replacement cost?

Out of warranty, a 73 kWh pack costs roughly €7,300–€13,100 at 2026 pack-level prices of €100–180 per kWh, plus labour. Inside the 8-year battery warranty a failing pack is replaced free, and single-module repairs are often a fraction of the full price.

Should I charge the Citroën C5 Aircross to 100% every night?

Daily 80% is the kinder habit for this model (NCM chemistry) — reserve 100% charges for long-trip days. Only LFP-battery EVs are designed for routine full charging.

Where should I stop on a long Citroën C5 Aircross trip — and what is plan B?

The PlugSphere route planner spaces stops for the Citroën C5 Aircross's real range (segments of roughly 296 km with a 90% start and 10% reserve) and picks stations along the actual road route — each suggested stop comes with two nearby backup chargers in case the first is busy or offline.
