Three body sizes are available, with the L2 panel vans only available with the smaller of the two battery sizes.

The e-Relay will allow charging of up to 22kW with a 7kW wallbox unit taking six hours to charge the 37kWh battery and 12 hours to fully charge the 70kWh battery pack. As well as regular charging through a Type 2 connector, both batteries allow 50kW rapid charging

Because the e-Relay is zero emission, all electric vans are exempt from the London Congestion Charge (CC) and the Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Electric vans also have a 0% company van tax rate.

The e-Relay is available as a panel van, window van (only as L4 length) and as a chassis cab (L3 only). Citroen E-Relay vans have a 15m3 load volume and a payload of up to 1,150kg. Citroen also has a full range of electric vans with the e-Berlingo, e-Dispatch and the compact quadricycle Citroen Ami Cargo.
