The cool thing about French manufacturers, is that they also make small/affordable electric cars.

Like the Renault Twizzy and the Citroen Ami. The latter costs something like 6k new, but IRC they're also (planning on) renting them out in cities or coastal towns. You know, like e-scooters.

Obviously, it's tiny and really basic, the range is relatively small, but that's all you really need in a city or for a commute.

I fuckin love the Ami. It's a proper Marmite car, you either love it or hate it

Only minor problem is you don't need a license to drive it in France, and most of the owners simply shouldn't be driving at all 😂

You don't need a B license but you need a motorcycling/small engine vehicle license (BSR) like for a scooter, at least. I do wish the bar was a little higher though.
