Citroen is going to release some extremely cheap electric cars

Citroen is going to release some extremely cheap electric cars
Citroen is preparing a whole line of small urban electric cars. These cars should attract customers with their unusual appearance and low cost.


The fact is that Citroen is seriously concerned about the expansion of Chinese brands in the class of compact electric cars. Uninvited guests from the Middle Kingdom are able to literally overwhelm the EU countries with their products, often of poor quality.

Therefore, the management of Citroen decided to once again play on what they are traditionally strong in - the design school. New compact electric cars should win over potential customers with their unusual appearance.

While there is no data on how exactly the models will look. But not only full-fledged cars will turn out, but also quadricycles, for which rights are not even needed in a number of EU countries. In France, for example, such vehicles can be driven from the age of 14.

It is planned that the line of new electric cars will appear in the next couple of years. Citroen management has only hinted that the design and concept of the models will be close to the Oli pickup and the Ami quad. The first is a concept with a futuristic design, the second is serial.

Pickup Oli impresses with its appearance. The concept was not originally planned as a serial, but the manufacturer said that it will become the basis for creating the image of new models.

Oli is capable of driving 400 km on a single charge. Judging by the design, the electric car can move not only around the city. Large wheels with all-terrain tires and high ground clearance hint that the concept will also be suitable for outings.

The doors at Oli are hinged. The "chopped" features of the body elements hint at the simplicity of their manufacture. But the most important thing is the cargo compartment, which allows you to transport fairly large items.

As for the compact Ami electric car, this is a typical city car. The design is clearly dominated by the style of cubism, and in terms of dimensions, the model turned out to be even smaller than Smart.

The power reserve of the Ami is not impressive - only 70 km. This hints that the machine is for moving around your city and trips to shops. The speed that a quadricycle can develop is limited at around 45 km / h.

Citroen bosses stressed that the new line of electric cars will be completely original. No one plans to use existing models, let alone reduce them. Most likely, for new electric cars they will take a redesigned CMP platform, created by the Stellantis concern.
