No Driver’s License Needed To Drive This Electric Car From Citroën

As the environment is becoming more and more polluted, many countries are urging their citizens to shift to using electric vehicles. However, compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, the prices of electric vehicles are a lot higher. But no worries as Citroën, a French automaker just unveiled its new EV called Ami, which might possibly be the cheapest and smallest EV ever.

The tiny EV can accommodate two people. It actually looks like a fancy scooter with a roof that is made specifically for city transportation. And guess what, if you are 14 years old and you are living in France, you don’t need to have a driver’s license to drive this car. For people who live in other European countries, they need to be at least 16 years old.

The car comes with a 5.5 kWh li-ion battery that can be charged using a standard 220w power outlet. For a full charge, it needs around three hours. It can reach a speed of 45 kilometers per hour and a range of 70 kilometers.

The tiny EV is perfect for people living in cities as it can easily go through busy streets and narrow gaps. Its roof is transparent, offering a panoramic view. You can manually tilt the side windows to open them up.

For pricing, a one-time payment will cost you around $6,590. But you also pay an around $2,900 as an initial payment and then pay $22 a month in two years. The car is also available for rent via Free2Move, a car-sharing service for around 29 cents for 1 minute.

Consumers can make orders from March 30, but only in France.
