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.
