Off the line, the ë-C3 FWD hits 100 km/h in 11.07 s versus 12.34 s for the Dolphin Active 70kW. At this point, the ë-C3 FWD leads by 1.27 s and sits roughly 7 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the ë-C3 FWD is doing 106 km/h against 101 km/h for the Dolphin Active 70kW. The gap is 0.33 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the ë-C3 FWD crosses the line in 18.19 s versus 18.84 s. The 0.65 s gap represents roughly 22 m of track — two to three car lengths.
Past 400 metres, the ë-C3 FWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 144 km/h versus 136 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the ë-C3 FWD finishes in 32.85 s versus 34.35 s, with a 1.50 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the ë-C3 FWD is capped at 135 km/h, the Dolphin Active 70kW at 150 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit — it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (12.53 kg/hp vs 14.79 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 21.36 seconds. The 1.27 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Swap one of the two models to explore an equivalent duel in the same segment.
