Meet the Electric Car from Citroën That Doesn’t Need a Driver’s License

The car is quite small and can reach a maximum speed of 45 km/h, more than enough for short trips and outings. According to the traffic code in France, the Citroën Ami is not classified even as a traditional car and will be categorized as a “quadricycle”. Therefore, underage individuals and those without a driver’s license can use it.

The electric car allows for only one mold for the doors and the front and rear panels. Its advantage over other quadricycles is that it is fully enclosed, intending to protect drivers from climate changes.

Is It Worth Buying the Electric Car from Citroën?

Despite being small, the Citroën Ami costs just over £5,000. Its body is made of a material known as ABS, which is entirely sustainable. One of the largest investments in producing the body of an electric car is the steel and plastic molds. Thus, the less you use these materials, the less you spend.

The Citroën Ami comes with a small front-mounted 48-volt DC motor and has 8 horsepower. It lacks a gearbox and is throttle-sensitive.

With a battery capacity of 5.5 kWh, the electric car from Citroën that doesn’t require a driver’s license has a range of 75 kilometers. Its dimensions are 2.41 m long, 1.39 m wide, and 1.52 m high. It is very lightweight, weighing only 480 kg.

Small Electric Cars Are Gaining Ground in the Market

Small electric cars are gaining more market space, and China offers various options in this category. Given that they are easier to park, they meet consumer needs and come at lower prices.

On Alibaba, you can find a range of products, and one that is catching consumers’ attention is the Leshen K2, which features various technologies at a very low price, costing around R$ 16,000.

Another one that is drawing attention is the Chinese Pickup Truck that is smaller than a Fiat Mobi and has a price of about R$ 10,000. It features a gas engine system, making it “hybrid.”
