  • Driving the new electric Citroën AMI during the Zoute Grand Prix car week. In this video I show you the exterior, interior, features, a top speed run and how to park where there is no parking space.
    Please SUBSCRIBE to my channel if you like my POV drives, thanks! 🙏

    The AMI is a 2 seater mini EV that recharges its 5.5kWh battery in three hours from any standard electric socket.
    You can order your AMI online, at selected Citroën dealers or at media stores like FNAC in Belgium & France. It costs about € 7.000 without delivery.
    The AMI isn't a real car, but a 'quadricycle'. This means you can drive it from the age of 14 or 16 in some countries or you don't even need a driving license to drive it. Operating it is as easy as pressing a button to go forward or reverse, put you foot on the throttle and turn the steering wheel.
    With a range of 75 km (43 miles) and a top speed of 45 kph (28 mph), the AMI is your best friend in a crowdy city or suburban area.
    Parking is easy with a length of just 2.41m and you can do a u-turn in most streets in one go, because the turning circle is just 7.2m.
    It is very small, but feels very spacious. You sit on the rear axle and in front of you is a lot of storage space.
    If you need space for just 1 person, you could also order the AMI Cargo, with a lot of extra storage space instead of a passenger seat.
    Body panels are made as simple and symmetrical as possible, there is only one door that fits both sides, one side it hinges in the rear, the other side it opens like a regular door. Front and rear panels are also identical, just the front has white lights and the rear red lights.
    The AMI is't painted but can be customised with sticker packs.
    It is 100% recyclable apart from the battery, which is 85% recyclable.​

Best leave the wiper for rainy days. With that much window glass, being a little "OCD" about keeping it clean will help kill some of the time it takes to charge the vehicle.

    I have a 1975 collector's Citroen 3cv, a lot they want to buy me, they have offered me lots of money, even collectors, I see this model and it confirms that Citroen always remained at the forefront of design and technology, I remember the DS from the 50's or the Pallas From the 70's fabulous cars, I found this model fascinating and underscores Citroen's ambition as a brand that always renews itself and meets the needs of its customers, great video !!

      Before having a driver licence I wasn't getting why those "cars" were so hated but now I know, try get stuck behind it and a white line for few kilometers at 45kmh instead of 90 and you will soon understand the hate, because it's both annoying and dangerous.
      Also, no driver licence is required for those so it's the perfect car for people who can't drive anymore or at all, like alcoholics, people with a cancelled licence, very old folks, stupid teens.

    I like it! I think it's the perfect car for modern megacities. Two seats are quite enough. Think about it, how often do you drive a car with three or four passengers? As a rule, there are always 1-2 passengers in a car in the city. Imagine how much this can affect the problem of parking and traffic jams on the roads? We have 13 million people and 4 million cars in Moscow. Sometimes, traffic jams are just huge. People love big sedans and SUVs, but over time, driving them has become really problematic, not to mention parking. It would be cool if people switched to motorcycles and scooters, but this is possible no more than 5 months a year when it's 20-30 degrees Celsius outside, but in winter, when it's 20-30 degrees below zero, you can't drive a lot on a scooter, to be honest. So yes, this Citroen and similar cars are very necessary. Awesome
