Serious comment, knowing you often have a long extension lead on board, when finding an ICE car taking up a charging point, could you have parked near enough to plug in? Your practical demonstration of the Bluetti was of course integral to the video. It was a great demonstration and has certainly drawn my attention the the brand and the potential of their products. Now all you need is a portable small air conditioner that will run from the Bluetti whilst you are driving in Mediterranean sunshine.

Well done and entertaining day out and an entertaining exercise in range anxiety with Bluetti saving the day. I guess a take-away might be that charging from it before setting out (and running out) is better than charging on a mountain hairpin after running out. Running some quick numbers, it looks like the AMI should burn about 75W/km. so 300watts of solar should be good for about 4 km/hr. I see 'Antonio Cruz' in the comments mentioned he saw a rigid 300 watt panel attached to an Ami, and I'd like to see how they did it. Looking at flexible solar panels, It looks like one 300w or a couple of 200w flexable high-output solar panels might just about fit on Elton's roof

We regularly get home with 3 or 4 km of range left (either a Jaguar IPace, BMW i3 or Renault Twizy). Every EV is different though. I would suggest running it down to literally zero power, which may mean going beyond zero percent. Watch Teslabjorn’s recent videos - he tests each car and uses a power pack to get enough charge to get to a nearby charger. Will give you more confidence, as you will know whether it just turns off at a specific range.

I know this is an old video but I have watched lots of your videos and was wondering if you had ever looked into a smaller solar panel that could sit inside your roof glass. This could help block some of the suns heat out but also would slowly recharge the bluetti even while parked or driving along. It would take a lot longer to charge but if its always fixed there then might just he able to keep the bluetti topped up all the time.

Yes we certainly looked into it and whilst there’s a gain we were never convinced it was enough to justify the hassle and the problems it poses for filming with cameras on the roof. Some airport amis use this but it only really charges peripherals

Great entertainment. Now, I just saw being used by the airport here in Lisbon an Ami with rigid solar panels on it. It probably fits 300W of panels giving it a lot of extra range, I cannot be sure but maybe up to 40km, plus providing shade for the car. Something to think about. It might avoid getting home in turtle mode.

Actually, looking at the non motorway distance to Marseilles it would take a couple of days to get there at least. Saint Tropez might be doable with an overnight stay.

The Bluetti is a brilliant device , the company that makes it should release a version that can charge bigger EVs as that way if you break down in an EV you can just charge it off the Bluetti

We love your video’s here in the Netherlands! We are also proud owners of the Citroen Ami. We use it as a “second” car for traveling to work. We love the little friend! It is a shame that it only has an 75km accu so I am happy to see how you charge it with this Bluetti. Never seen it before! Please can you share a link which one it is? Thank you so much!

Couldn't you just ask someone if you can use their power for a few Euro's? Like at a corner store or something. I wonder if you could just permanently hook up solar panels to the top to always trickle charge it when just running into a shop or something? Great video's! Great cliffhanger! I was waiting for this video, phew!

@@MeandMonAmi Yeah true you got a point, if you want to keep that sunroof lol, putting panels on it kinda wouldn't work in the short term. Darn, I have seen totally solar cars out there being developed, Like this one, and it's available in Europe for like 25k kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2avfIhsl7yGmcU I wonder if there's an app where it shows you which homes people are open to letting cars charge, is there a thing? I dunno. Love your video's and looking forward to the next ones, thanks for replying!
