| 2022 Citroen Ami - an Electric 2 seater |
Where did the time go? It is day 31 and we only have 9 days left. We will be spending that time at "our apartment" near the Eiffel Tower. Today is was 80 degrees and perfectly sunny weather. I lounged under a shade tree on the Champs du Mars at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Back in the apartment - all 3 professionals were having zoom sessions - and I was shushed out of 3 rooms in period of 60 seconds. So I was sentenced to 2 hours of watching the tourists in the their fancy clothes - and girls wearing a little less.
There are 3 famous car dealers - Renault - Peugot - and Citroen. So right next to a McDonalds - about 1 mile away - I found La Maison Citroen. In the front window was an electric car that caught my attention - mainly because the price. The sign said 7000 euros. In American - you can barely get a new golf cart for $7000.
2022 CITROEN AMI
2022 Citroen Ami Electric Car for $7000 - brand new. It is 8 feet long - 5 feet wide - 5 feet wide. It has a range of 50 miles and charges in 3 hours on 220 volt. It goes 30 mph. The dealer told me that rich parents who don’t want their kids on scooters or bikes buy them. Kids 14 and older can drive them on the streets without a license. The body is ABS plastic - like a football helmet. Kids customize them with plastic wrap. It would qualify in America under the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle law. It is symmetrical - left and right - back and front. Some would call it a glorified golf cart. It has a front motor and front wheel drive. They started selling them in 2020. They have a full set of accessories - like racks - etc. The seats are quite comfortable. It has a 48 volt motor - 8 horsepower - 5.5 kWh lithium battery and weighs 1100 pounds. Maybe I can sneak one on the plane in my luggage.
