Where there’s a will there’s a way: respect!

Is it a Citroën Ami? Just read this review dated 2020: top speed 28mph, range 43 miles & the “5.5kWh lithium-ion battery … takes three hours [to recharge] on a UK household supply.” It weighs 485kg & seats 2.

“It’s not a car, of course, it’s a quadricycle…”
Special rules (France, UK) apply apparently.
Still, a nifty solution that could suit some.
