CITROËN AMI in Keighley West Yorkshire, Preston Lancashire, Harrogate North Yorkshire

The Citroën AMI conquers city streets like no other EV. Officially classed as a quadricycle, it offers a 46-mile range and charges to 100% in just 3-hours with a 3-pin socket, unlocking the ability to charge virtually anywhere. It is exempt from current and future Congestion and Ultra-low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) charges, and the dinky size means it can park in spaces that are reserved for motorcycles. In fact, at 2.41m in length, it is 1.19m shorter than the Citroën C1 and also significantly narrower for ultimate mobility.

The 6kWh li-ion battery and 6kW electric motor deliver smooth, predictable performance and range. The passenger AMI has two seats while the AMI Cargo has one driver seat and a stripped out cargo area with a seven-part polypropylene module. The module is built to secure cargo for last-mile deliveries, and the quadricycle classification grants vehicle access to many of the streets reserved for cyclists and people.
