Citroën Ami, Citroën's electric car, will be marketed in the USA. It must be part of a vehicle subscription fleet

Automakers know that the future of transportation will be with electricity instead of polluting fuels. Citroën was quite bold in manufacturing the small Citroën Ami, a small electric car that has only two seats and was made for a specific audience. The company is now bringing the European vehicle to the US market. 

The vehicle will be part of a company's subscription-sharing fleet in the US. It's about the company Free2Move, which provides sharing services. 

How does it work?  

The driver pays a monthly fee and has access to a series of Peugeot and Citroën electric vehicles throughout several cities. The idea is to reach a niche of people who do not have space or time for their own vehicle.  

Further details on the Citroën To me 

The company highlighted that the Ami Citroën is equipped with a 5,5 kWh battery, in addition to a 6kw motor. It allows the driver to reach a speed of up to 45 km/h and a range of 70 km. It is 2,41 m long, 1,39 m wide and 1,52 m high. It uses a 14 wheel.

Even very small, the Citroen Ami It has a very stylish sunroof, as well as high-quality interior heating. Citroen's electric vehicle is sold in the European market for around US$6. The vehicle is light, small and relatively inexpensive.

However, it is still unknown whether it will make space outside Europe reaching such a low top speed. However, the focus of the Ami is to win over customers who need an electric car only for short trips. Furthermore, it was also made with the younger audience in mind. 

Ford invests heavily to produce the all-electric Ford F-150 

Last year, Ford announced it was investing $700 million to build its new all-electric Ford F-150. Ford is yet another company in the industry that is working to build ever more efficient and cheaper electric vehicles. The electric F-150 will increase competition in the electric truck industry.
