I'm with you. Why does this channel have only 11k subscribers, when cooking channels or stupid 'influencers' get hundreds of thousands or millions? I stumbled over them the day the Ami arrived at this parking spot 1,5 years ago and watched every new video from them since then and was never disappointed 👍

[@owencobb91]

Hi to you both from the south of England. I came across you channel whilst searching for videos on the Citroen ami that I am looking to buy when they are released in the Uk. I so much enjoy you tours with fantastic scenery and history as I now watch them all in series. Keep up the great work and can’t wait for the next instalments and travels with your Elton

@@MeandMonAmi your welcome

[@alexschutte596]

Guys, as always a fantastic video with beautiful images of the area. Changing music makes it even more pleasant to watch, despite the fact that Pandemonium is a beautiful song. Going downhill is a heavy load on the brakes for a car with a petrol engine where you can brake on the engine. How's that with a Citroen Ami? Have a nice and surprising week and see you next time.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Alex. We are attempting to ration Pandemonium but…; the Ami can brake a little on the engine and that way is meant to regenerate power a little (I think). But you are right my e bike brakes wear out round here quite quickly!

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

if i have a AMI and plan on long trips. i would investigate having a solar systems in it. i should do it for my mini SE

I'm always impressed with your sense of adventure in what is designed to be a town car. One question does the battery recharge on the long descents?

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes I hope it lasts! It does recharge and downhill it obviously uses less power but I think it’s a relatively small gain. Should do a test!

[@prieten49]

The electric car era has created a new malady: range anxiety. My gasoline powered car has a very annoying fuel gauge. The fuel tank only holds 34 liters. At about 10 liters left, an annoying "time to refuel" light goes on. When the needle hits absolute bottom past the "E" sign, it still has 4 liters left. So I can drive quite far when the fuel gauge is showing E. I guess driving on that last 4 liters creates a type of range anxiety. That Pandemonium song is very catchy. I think I heard it on your videos first.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes though it’s been a while since that video Stuart and we suffer a lot less range anxiety than we did. As you say with your fuel gauge you kind of know how to read it eventually. Famous last words..

yeah EV is not for prime time when there is just one station where you need it. and charge time is not a few mins.

[@MeandMonAmi]

For us the charging is part of the journey and we plan it around lunch/ coffee etc. But these are obviously 80km round trips. When we venture further afield it will be interesting to see what happens

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

@@MeandMonAmi lucky that your area seems not that cold or your range will drastically reduced. My Mini SE range can go down from 220 km to 175 km after i put on winter tires, then go down to 100 km if it gets real cold. I think that i will only go far with my EV and trust public chargers only after more gas companies are in the game and to have their stations more reliable and maintained. But they still need lots of space to make sure that it’s easy to charge the cars. I think that most realistic future of EV can only happen if 80-90% of parking spot have option to charge the cars. Otherwise, forget people taking EVs for road trips. I won’t take my Mini for road trips for sure.
