The Citroën Ami is a compact electric vehicle classified as a quadricycle in Europe. It offers a range of 47 miles, a top speed of 28 mph, and costs around $8,000. The small car is designed for city driving, easy to park and maneuver. However, charging options can be limited to wall outlets, which can be challenging in some locations.

Leaked images from a Stellantis factory confirm the existence of a forthcoming Dodge Charger Daytona SRT EV. The images reveal a two-door coupe with a hatchback design, similar to the electric concept introduced earlier.

The absence of space for a traditional battery pack raises the possibility of innovative hybrid or electric technology integration. The roof may offer an optional panoramic glass panel for a more immersive driving experience. The official reveal is highly anticipated.
