Good day everyone.
I've just collected my brand new e-Berlingo 100kw flair FTR!
It the 20miles I've done today, I love it. Responsive and quiet.
However, what is going on with this Citroën tech?!
Doesn't come with maps installed and the mycitroen app just crashes.
Anyway. I'm off to explore the threads and chime in with my tuppence worth.

You lucky...
My recently purchased 2014 model only has a 22Kw pack...
No maps and app crashing?
That's just Citroën quirkiness.
Odds are that the app is crashing because there's no maps...
Also, due to inflation, you're going to have to use tenpence these days.

I have had my E Berlingo since last October, and love it! The My Citroen app is awful though: It will work for a few days, then stop working for a few days, then suddenly catch up again. You certainly can’t rely on it.
The limited range of the car is a pity, but I was well aware of that before I bought it, so can’t complain. My normal journeys are well within range, so it isn’t often a real issue. It’s just something which has to be factored in on the rare occasions when we want to go further.

I was holding out for a 'decent range' Berlingo, but with my M49 dying, I had to sit down and really think about it, and I realised that 99% of my 'daily' driving the last 5 years was well within the range a full charge of even an older model would get me, and the last 1%? There's a long line of chargers in the parking garage there, and well... never had a dentist's appointment that took less than half an hour...

Yes the range was a deciding factor but as I only go out of town 3 times a year it isn't so bad.
Have you got maps or navigation on yours? And if so.. how?
Thank
Pete.

Mine is the Feel trim, so no satnav. However, I have an Aguri combined dashcam/satnav which works very well.

Phones. Fairly old invention. Google maps. Always up to date, always available.
Car sat nav is so 2015. And crap.

And you can get sat nav apps too these days, for waypoints, POIs, large vehicles, etc.

All joking aside, my Samsung phone with google maps is way more up to date than any integrated sat nav I've had and includes road closures and live traffic re-routing.

Didn't mean to belittle your post Zion, rather to expand it. Some of the truck drivers where I work use G maps, but when I ask them what a low bridge is, they just look puzzled! For larger vehicles (such as motorhomes), the war is raging between G maps and sat nav apps as the weapon of choice these days. Certainly, the apps are updated far more frequently than the Chinese ebay jobbies are, and some do deal with live traffic data too I believe.
I was reading the Amazon reviews for a 10" Android tablet with dual sim slots only yesterday, and one poster said it worked fine with sat nav apps. He must have had a very large windscreen.
