Citroen will launch the My Ami Buggy in the UK this June. Costing £10,495 just 40 will be available from a global production run of 1000.

Based on the Citroen Ami, the electruc My Ami Buggy is equipped with a 5.4kWh battery that can be fully charged in just four hours. It has a range of up to 46 miles and a top speed of 28mph. You can drive it in the UK from the age of 16.

Last year, Citroen introduced the "Ultra-Limited Series" My Ami Buggy in France and all 50 units were sold out in less than 18 minutes.

The My Ami Buggy is finished in a Khaki color, with black protective elements like reinforced bumpers, skid plates, headlamp surrounds, wheel arch extensions and a rear spoiler.

Yellow accents are incorporated both on the exterior and throughout the interior. The front panel boasts embossed yellow flashes, while the wheel arches feature yellow arrows.

Yellow accents can also be found on interior storage bins, door opening straps, bag hooks, carpet, and seat stitching. The new instrument cluster has a rounded cover, adding a touch of retro flair.

As you can see from the pictures, the My Ami Buggy does not have conventional doors. Instead, it comes with removable plastic covers and a black waterproof fabric roof, designed to shield passengers from the wind and rain.

The roof and door covers can be rolled back and secured with snap buttons or completely removed.

The door and roof frames are designed to incorporate storage space for the roof and plastic weather protection. The extended front roof frame also integrates a sun visor for added convenience.

The My Ami Buggy can further be equipped with the Ultimate Ears Boom lightweight Bluetooth speaker, which fits into a specially designed space on the dashboard. This waterproof and durable speaker provides 15 hours of battery life.

Does the top speed of an electric car drop when the battery is low?

The top speed of my electric bike drops slightly when the battery charge is low. Does the same thing happen with electric cars?
Most electric cars are designed to preserve battery life and range above other factors. Because of their size and weight approaching the top speed uses a lot of battery charge. Frequently performance will be restricted if the battery is close to running out and in some high performance EVs maximum performance is only available if the battery has sufficient charge and may only be available for limited periods. However, for most drivers in the UK approaching the top speed is not a regular occurrence.
