Features
Making it ideal for urban haulage. This all-new Ami Cargo EV has more capacity than a traditional 2 or 3 wheeler vehicle. With a capacity to full charge in 3 hours, the cargo is 100% electrical.
Basically, it is a 1.52m tall EV with 1.39m width and 2.14m length. Its capacity of 140kgs makes it a practical vehicle for hauling. Furthermore, it is based on, “Small on the outside and big on the inside’ as said by the website.
Additionally, the electric cargo runs with a 6kW electric motor and a 5.5 kWh lithium battery pack. Also has a range of 47 miles (75km). Enables easy commute within the city. Costs around $6,000, which is low considering the charging charges are much lower than fuel costs.
This Caro is especially suited for home deliveries and other within-city transportation on a daily basis. Citroen claims that it is also useful for local service providers like plumbers, electricians, and locksmiths.
