Citroën brings a new electric vehicle that is very small or if you want it is a closed scooter. It is called "Ami", it is two-seater and does not require a car license.
The Citroën Ami it's for urban use only and is so small, it doesn't even require a car license. According to company if you live in France and are at least 14 years old you can drive it. For the rest of Europe countries Citroën states that you should be an average of 16 years old. For Greece, we do not know which legislative framework will cover it, if any.
The car industry seems to have based it on the Ami One Concept it introduced in 2019 with some changes to its final design.
Has one battery 5.5kWh under the floor that can travel 70km on a single charge. You can simply plug the EV into any standard 220v outlet and wait three hours to charge its battery. Its maximum speed is 45 km/h. Obviously it can't do the tricks of the Fast and Furious movie and it doesn't have a wide variety of versions, but the Ami was designed for driving in cities and narrow streets.
Citroën has several purchase options to choose from if you are interested. You can pay € 20 per month for a two-year long-term lease, but first make an initial payment of € 2.644. If you want it 100% yours you can buy it for € 6.000.
In case you want to try it first before you buy it, you will be able to rent one, from the Free2Move car rental service in Europe for €0,26 (29 min) per minute. Citroën will start receiving orders for Ami on March 30 in France, followed by Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and Germany a few months later. The first deliveries are expected to reach French buyers in June.
