Yahoo Autos Citroen Ami appears to be headed for America, in a small way
Stellantis executives recently canned Peugeot's planned American comeback. Instead, they'll take advantage of the supergroup's roots in the United States to distribute Citroën's smallest and cheapest car on our shores. There's a catch: The golf cart-like Ami electric car will only be available in Washington, D.C., and you won't be able to buy one.
Free2Move, the car-sharing service Peugeot brought under the Stellantis umbrella, announced on its official LinkedIn page that something new is coming soon to Washington, D.C. It didn't provide the car's name, but the preview image it posted shows a silhouette that very clearly matches the Ami's; nothing else looks quite like it.
Reading between the lines tells us the pocket-sized Ami will join the Free2Move fleet in the nation's capital. We don't know how many units will be dispatched from France via Morocco, where they're built, but we're not expecting to see a tidal wave of two-seater EVs; odds are only a few cars will initially be sent to allow Free2Move, Stellantis, and Citroën to gather feedback from users. Details like how much it will cost to rent one are up in the air, too.
