DS EV Background
Even though DS has been a separate brand for ten years, a lot of people still cannot fully comprehend the idea behind this aspiring manufacturer. The DS models are based on Citroen and other PSA products but with significantly higher levels of luxury, premium materials, and features. Citroen, which once was a more upscale brand than it is today, wants to recreate the same allure of its products and offer its customers a usable and more affordable but exclusive alternative to well-known premium brands. Of course, if you want to succeed in today's car industry, you must offer an EV option. DS entered the market in 2019 with the first generation of DS3 E-Tense, a model that has proven to be a popular choice among customers. We at Voldt are big fans of the French take on the electric vehicle revolution and have developed charging cable solutions for DS' electric and PHEV range.
DS EV Models
The current DS range of EV and PHEV models consists of the DS3 E-Tense, a 100% electric car, and several PHEV versions of standard vehicles. The DS3 in this form was introduced in 2022 and represents a very special car on the market. Its four-door, compact SUV body and very stylish design make it a competent urban cruiser with decent range and performance. However, the most significant selling point of the DS3 E-Tense is its premium interior, good technology, and upmarket feel.
DS EV Technology
Despite the innovative design and marketing concept, the technology behind the DS3 E-Tense is pretty standard. The car uses a lithium-ion battery pack with 54 kWh capacity and 400 V architecture. The DS3 E-Tense can be charged through AC or DC chargers at 11 or 100 kW. Charging the battery fully on AC would take over 5 hours, but charging it to 80% on a fast charger will take less than 30 minutes. The DS3 E-Tense is only delivered with front-wheel-drive, but we are sure Citroen will soon offer an all-wheel-drive version with better performance. We at Voldt are sure we can slightly reduce those times using our premium charging cables. Shuko and Commando sockets are available.
