Off the line, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 hits 100 km/h in 8.12 s versus 11.07 s for the ë-C3 FWD. At this point, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 leads by 2.95 s and sits roughly 30 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 is doing 117 km/h against 106 km/h for the ë-C3 FWD. The gap is 1.54 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 crosses the line in 16.13 s versus 18.19 s. The 2.06 s gap represents roughly 72 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 150 km/h versus 144 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 finishes in 30.62 s versus 32.85 s, with a 2.23 s lead. Despite a higher top speed (192 km/h), the ë-C3 FWD never recovers its launch deficit.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the 5 E-Tech Electric 150 is capped at 150 km/h, the ë-C3 FWD at 135 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 (10.16 kg/hp vs 12.53 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 18.12 seconds. The 2.95 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.
