The Citroën Ami is a no permit car, so it is a bit specific and probably won't be used by people who need a car to travel between cities.

The Renault Zoe is a "normal" car and fit the bill for a more "simple" electric car. They now have the Twingo Electric also which is the size of a usual twingo (roughly like a Citroën C1/Peugeot 107) and cheaper than the Zoe.

But it is connected. Thereby it can be remotely disabled. Which actually happened a few times. Because the battery is rented...

Just a search for "Renault remote disabled" should be sufficient to get you some headlines.

Cheers!

The price difference is huge. Ami is €6,000 (incl. VAT) while the Renault Zoe is £27,595 and the Twingo Electric is €20,690-€24,790

I mean, yes. But the price difference between a bike and the Ami is also huge.

It’s because they’re different things.
