Citroen is committed to offering economical, personalized, and environmentally friendly transportation options: the Citroen Oli family electric car. The Citroen Oli concept car, inspired by the popularity of the Citroen Ami, features many unique design elements.
To counter the industry trend toward bulkier, more complicated, and more expensive electric automobiles, Citroen Ami supplied the push for the Oli, an eye-catching and inventive "laboratory on wheels" aimed to ease family mobility.
Many features and technologies seen in Citroen Oli will be included in future Citroen electric family cars. Whereas the Ami signified a baby step in the right direction, the Citroen Oli connotes a giant leap forward. The Oli is not a 2,500 kg "castle on wheels" loaded with screens and devices. Citroen Oli demonstrates that the demand for low-cost, high-desirability zero-emission mobility that facilitates a wide range of lifestyles can be met.
Citroen thinks it's high time to end the fad for ever-increasing levels of extravagance and luxury in favor of making straightforward automobiles that are easy to use, cheap, inventive, and entertaining.
Electrified and fully electric models such as the Citroen e-C4 and the new Citroen e-C4-X, and light commercial vehicles such as the Citroen e-Berlingo and the Citroen e-SpaceTourer, have already taken advantage of the combined electrified driving with the comfort, personality, and utility that customers have come to expect from Citroen.
With the Citroen Oli family electric car, the french manufacturer demonstrates an innovative strategy for enhancing family mobility in the future by carefully considering every aspect to conserve energy and materials while still producing visually appealing vehicles that are simple to operate, comprehend, and have a respectable driving range and flexible interior.
The Citroen Oli is a cleverly crafted, environmentally friendly family car. Oli demonstrates clearly how the best ecological balance can be attained, beginning with the design phase with judicious, optimal use of lightweight and recycling materials, continuing through the production phase with eco-friendly practices that ensure a long service life, and finally culminating in the product's responsible recycling at the end of its usefulness.
There is careful attention to detail throughout the Citroen Oli family electric car. For instance, the seats have a minimalistic design and use 80 percent fewer components than standard seats. As a bonus, the mesh backs of these seats let in more light from outside the car while still being eco-friendly. Everyone involved wins because the vehicle weight is lowered, the seats are made responsibly and sustainably, and the enhanced interior climate has a good effect on the comfort of the occupants.
The Citroen Oli demonstrates that the range and efficiency disadvantages of battery electric vehicles can be overcome to make EVs more practical, efficient, and affordable. The Oli may have a hefty appearance, but it is actually much lighter and smaller than competing compact SUVs, coming in at just under 1,000 kilograms. Therefore, the all-electric drivetrain only needs a 40 kWh battery to reach a range of up to 400 km. If you cap your speed at 110 km/h, you can expect to use only 10 kWh every 100 km, and a full charge will take just 23 minutes to get from 20% to 80%.
