I'm in the American South, where contractors drive around in enormous, gas-guzzling pickup trucks. However, the mobility solution that Citroën designed for tradespeople in European cities is opposite to that, in every possible way.

Citroën's My Ami Cargo is an adorable (I'm sure tradespeople love that word), tiny EV designed for one person to transport a small amount of tools and/or packages, and no passengers. Aimed at plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, deliverypersons etc., the space where a passenger seat would normally go is instead occupied by a sort of modular polypropylene box/shelf.

The My Ami Cargo is an adaptation of Citroën's My Ami (photo below), a two-person EV people mover that can be leased for an absurdly low €19.99 (USD $21) a month, with a €3,700 (USD $3,895) down payment. The Cargo is even cheaper; €24.18 (USD $25) a month, but with just a €2,508 (USD $2,641) down payment.

Both vehicles have a range of 75 km (47 miles) and a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph).

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
