Stellantis will bring the tiny Citroen Ami to the United States through its Free2Move car sharing and rental service.
An image shared to LinkedIn by Free2Move USA reveals the silhouette of the Ami stating that it has been sent “From France with Love.” The post adds that the city car is “coming to Washington DC.”
The Citroen Ami is already used by Free2Move in Europe and while details such as rental prices in the U.S. haven’t been announced, it will presumably be cheaper to rent than the Chevrolet Cruze and Equinox that Free2Move currently uses.

In Europe, the Ami is technically considered a ‘quadricycle’ and is just 2.41 meters (94.9-in) long, 1.39 meters (54.7-in) wide, and 1.52 (59.8-in) meters tall, meaning it is significantly shorter and narrower than even a Smart EQ ForTwo. It weighs just 485 kg (1,069 lbs) and is driven by a 5.5 kWh battery pack powering a single electric motor with 8 hp, allowing it to hit a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).
The Ami can travel up to 43.5 miles (70 km) on a single charge. It takes 3 hours to recharge through a conventional 220-volt socket but can also be charged at a public terminal or via a Wall Box. In Europe, it is available in cities such as Paris, Madrid and Lisbon. Free2Move does plan on expanding into Portland, Oregon in the near future, although it is unclear if the Ami will also be available there.
