Summary
The My Ami Cargo is Citroën’s answer to “zero-emission” micro-logistics: priced like a covered scooter, charges on a regular outlet, and offers a 400 L squared cargo bay with zero external footprint. Its limits? Quadricycle speed, basic safety, and spartan comfort. But for inner-city deliveries, maintenance services, or boutique retail support, it’s a clever little EV van with an unbeatable TCO.
Verdict — Citroën My Ami Cargo (MY 2025)
Electric L7e quadricycle · 5.4 kWh · 45 km/h · 400 L usable volume
The small French electric van, designed for last-mile logistics, receives a light update for 2025: new Night Blue and Sand Beige color options, reinforced bumper trims, a 45 W USB-C port, and “Ami Play” connectivity with a dedicated app (battery status and vehicle location). Mechanics remain unchanged: front-mounted 6 kW motor, 5.4 kWh lithium-ion battery (underfloor), domestic 2.3 kW charging in 3 hours.
| Category | Where it excels | Where it holds its own | Where it falls short |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design & image | Length 2.41 m, width 1.39 m: fits anywhere; symmetrical scissor doors allow curbside entry. | Recycled plastics, panels easy to wrap in company livery. | “Toy-car” looks may be polarizing vs micro-vans like Nissan Townstar EV or Renault Kangoo E-Tech. |
| Urban dynamics | 7.20 m turning radius, curb weight 488 kg: quick maneuvers, zero emissions in low-emission zones. | Raised ride height + 14″ wheels: handles cobblestones without damage. | Firm suspension; no ABS/ESP, rear drum brakes only. |
| Real efficiency | 75–80 km with 5.4 kWh → ~7 kWh/100 km, class-leading. | 3-hour charge on 230 V 10 A socket, no wall-box needed. | No Type-2 or DC charging: no fast-stop top-ups. |
| Payload & volume | Modular box 260 L (+ internal 140 L) = 400 L total; 140 kg load capacity, flat floor with anti-slip rubber. | Adjustable parcel divider, net hooks; laptop A4 compartment + 12 V socket. | Only one seat; no space for EUR pallets. |
| Comfort & NVH | Longitudinally adjustable seat, new 12 V fan + 300 W defroster. | Washable cabin with floor drain; 2CV-style flip windows. | No air conditioning: windows fog up in humid conditions. |
| HMI / Infotainment | “Ami Play” smartphone mount with Bluetooth, range app, geofencing and maintenance alerts. | LED battery level + eco-meter display. | No integrated infotainment; optional Bluetooth speaker only. |
| Safety & ADAS | Tubular steel frame and certified L7e steel safety cell; MY25 adds rear parking sensors. | Automatic LED lights, 45 km/h limiter. | No airbags or advanced ADAS; only 3-point seatbelt. |
| Running costs | Price €9,990 + VAT; no road tax in many regions, quadricycle insurance <€200/year; no battery lease. | Service every 12,000 km (brakes & firmware checks). | 155/65-14 tires ≈€90/unit, lifespan ~25,000 km. |

Hotels, resorts, university campuses for indoor/outdoor housekeeping or room service

Suburban deliveries over 45 km/h → Renault Kangoo E-Tech, Nissan Townstar EV

Recommended configuration
