you are hilarious.. haha.. 1st, you go camping and you cant find your spot, you go camping with no hammer, your 1st camping night and you got bad weather and ... and.. finally you get in a citroen e-3 and it took you some minutes to realize it was not an EV... haha... stay charged.. you are the best...

❤ Nothing beats the Citroën Ami. I wish someone would make a winter package upgrade for it, then I would want to get one in Norway.

Come on Citroen give the guys a free e-C3 you will get more exposure than any advertising campaign you pay for 😁

Phew looks like Elton is safe for a while! ❤

How time flies, it's been almost 3 years since Elton arrived, I still remember and it feels like it was yesterday. Lately, you've been very lost, Tim, that wasn't the electric vehicles event lol

I would love to see you go test drive the 15k Euro Leapmotor T03 in France. That's the most expensive version with 400km range after French subsidies.

This very day I saw a vintage 2cv. lemon yellow, on the Godalming road. Classic.

I really enjoy your presentations. Mr. Boo is just a bit over sized for that back seat. $9,000 seems like a great deal. Cheers,

Stay Charged! 😊

Me and Mon C3 would work really well for your channel. I agree it is really strange not to have, what is the star of the show, there. I do think this is a winner. And the price is very tempting if you are in France. I couldn't blame you for updating. I think at least one of you will get to travel in the style they clearly deserve 😉. Twiggs has excellent taste, and all that room would be a boon to her.

Car launches - all sizzle and no sausage😮. We went to the Magiarge restaurant in Bordighera yesterday. Lovely part of the town. We have a new challenge for you - Bussana Vecchia just further down the coast. A village hit by an earthquake, now very quaint but an interesting drive. Ciao from Rocchetta nervina, near Dolceaqua.

My Grandmother who was from Oldham would call that a 'Swizz' They need to offer you guys a test drive of the actual car ASAP.

I think my favourite thing about the Citroen e-C3 is that they drive very nicely. I could easily do a 2000k journey in one. Especially on the beautiful French roads.

Mijn Opel rocks e is een prima karretje voor mij ,ook al heb ik mijn rijbewijs BE, ik hoop ermee uiteindelijk voordeliger mee uit te komen.

Hmmm, seems marketing department thought it was a good idea to hold a party without the star. BTW, Mr. Boo, I am enjoying the first of 4 days for gymnastics qualifying trials in US. 😊

You guys deserve a proper EV and the sweet spot would be the mid level trim to get all the amenities that are really necessities. Will the Citroen EC-3 electric be a step up from Elton? A test drive would be needed to to decide if its worth placing an order for one. Mr. Tim wasn’t won over the styling of the petrol model which looked too generic Eurobox.A shame the electric version wasn’t made available for a preview but it should come out in the months ahead. Thanks for the preview of the latest Citroen! 😊

I'd agree with all your points of argument: The eC3 is a proper, practical car for normal buyers, but it's also a tad generic.

Oh gee, I hadn't heard you tell that you'd gotten your driver's license - HA! and "I think we've gotten into the wrong car"..... There are always many laughs with you two :)

Haaaa. I was looking forward to this! I called Citroen a couple of times to test the new e-C3 (and the Ami). Weirdly, they kept pushing it back. "No, our local dealer doesn't have one yet". And when I finally COULD go, it was the 1.2 turbo petrol one. Eh, no thanks? But for private lease, I could get one now(ish). Right. Oh, and no Ami either. We only have the Opel Rocks E in the Netherlands for some reason (even if you could also simply order one in Belgium), so that will have to wait too.. My visit to the showroom just wasn't as fancy as yours was!

Citroen were being very smart inviting Mon C3 owners to a new car launch .I mean they could not help being impressed -air con and heaters what luxury

I love how baffled you were by the stick shift, your knowledge about cars is simply astonishing!

merci a vous pour ce partage 🥰 Par chance j’ai pu essayer la E c 3 électrique a Antibes , bien que cela soit un modèle de pré série , la conduite est soft et très agréable la puissance suffisante (largement) il n'y a pas de mode "standard ,éco "etc , juste un bouton pour faire varier la puissance de régénération tres bonne voiture pour le quotidien 😁...

I live in France and this can happen quite a lot😊

The new Renault 5 looks very nice 😍

It does look like a call car tbh. I think in Australia they will launch the petrol version of it and also the electric. That lunch though is very typical Citroen. No ideas and no cars sadly. They have really changed over the decades. Some say for the worst. I think they need to get back to the customer and putting them first. Lets hope it comes to Australia though. Australia needs more Citroens.

The biggest competitor it will have will be the Volkswagen ID.2. You might have to pay a grand or two extra for the VW, but the recharge speed will be half of the Citroen and the range will be just a little more. However the VW ID.2 goes into production at the end of this year. But a 20 minute recharge will be amazing for a 25,000 euro car.

You guys are the best! 😊

I ordered the electric base version 3 weeks ago... Paid only 16 thousand euro after state bonus in Italy..

Not something I could afford, but then again I'm very much a sans permis person. Talking electric I have fallen in love with the ex La Poste Ligier Quadeo's. They're fairly reasonable on the second hand market. Quite what state the batteries/motors are in, I've no idea though. They are cute even so...

Those white leather seats would quickly turn yellow from chain smoking gauloises.

You lads always make me laugh, ❤ to you and Mr Boo

The Ami is a design classic , wish UK had same attitude to electric. Here no subsidy, and public charging can easily be 75pkwh they will kill the uptake here. #lovelifeloveleaf hope I can be in the back if you get the ec3

That was a bit like trying to eat a lolly with the wrapper still on it!

Mister Me and Mister Boo & Elton, now this was Citroen playing games, teasing ya 😂 the car itself is ok ish, the Chinese are trying to monopolies the market,but the tariff that's going to ve added to their vehicles will stop them dead in their tracks, hopefully 😊 anyway for now,with Elton, stay safe and well and obviously stay charged 😊🎉

Wait for the Hyundai Inster, it will be cheaper and better than the e-C3. But the very best car for you would certainly be the old classic Citroën Ami from the Panhard factory, but electrified. Still me and mon Ami but a classic with much more space and way better looking.

I agree with @Thechargeshow and you should test the Leapmotor T03 if you can. 400Km range would be great.

My issue with the C3 … and most Stellantis cars for that matter, is terrible rear seat legroom. That for me is a deal breaker. In this case the interior space doesn’t begin to compare to the Hyundai Inster, or one size up, the Kia EV3.

That was entertaining and informative as usual! Only 199km of autonomy, not exactly great. Looking forward to your next fun outing!! Thank you Both 🙏

More range & bigger motor, means it will cost more per mile than the Ami, but still excellent value compared with other ‘real EV cars’ as compared to the Quadricycle way. If .i need a bigger vehicle I think e-C3 could well be an option, but next few years might see other options to blur the market & purchasing mind set ⭐️

We have a Citroen C5 Aircross, diesel 8-speed auto. Will be interested in trying an e-C3...

Its an alright car the c3 but prefer the ami less size and weight but the c3 is basically if im right based on a jeep avenger which u could find im italy cause Citroën is owned by stellantis thats why,

Looks a nice little car. Should sell well I reckon - trying to bring electric to the masses. I have had 4 Citroens starting with my little AX - my first car way back beyond!! Had two Picassos and loved them….very economical diesels….

New channel should be Me and Mr Boo

Only in France could they have a big launch for a car and not have one of the cars 😂

Another Good Episode. It's just a pity you got into the wrong version.🧸🧸🐶🚙

My view is that Citroen is seeking early interest before the launch as it is fearful of the Chinese EV competition on price and is getting early commitments, deposits and bookings in before the opposition's offering are widely known - in 6 months it may be too late ! Reports in press that Stellantis is very concerned over the Chinese ability to undercut European pricing even after EU tariffs have been imposed...

I genuinely think that a Dacia Spring is a better option. I could see you both driving around in a Dacia Spring 😊

OMG how very France. 😂

Current Fiat Topolino version of Ami delivery wait times: Italy = 12 weeks France = 16 weeks Germany = 24 weeks UK - Topolino not yet launched, looks to be Autumn, delivery 2025. UK Ami delivery = 16 weeks.

I wish you guys would go see/review LONG RANGE microlino!

I agree - still too expensive to be an "EV for the Masses", but it's a positive step.. better value than the Dacia Spring?

Well, that was a little disappointing. I was really curious about the new electric C3 that you would show us. That usually means waiting months until we see this car.

Bonjour mes amis d'Espagne. Nope, it is just too small for us. The E-Berlingo would be OK though to take three people, two small dogs and a wheelchair plus all the associated paraphernalia for a holiday. Our current diesel version is just great.

Maybe the new electric R5 is more your style, can't wait to see those on the streets!

The new Renault 5 looks tidy ! 👌

Please can you & Mr Boo take a drive in a Renault Twizy. We have one on the farm and it is impossible to drive it without laughing., especially with a passenger. Very fast too - 50 mph.

What??? No electric Citroen C3 at the Official Launch???? I reckon you should get a months FOC use of the Electric EC3!!!!

Just watched the e-C3 tested in Paris so they do exist.

Well, that was bait and switch.

Stay with what you got.

Rumours of a LONGER RANGE Ami in 2025....

Did you get code 78 on your B license? I don't think there's much reason to do manual transmission anymore, to get without code 78. I haven't had a manual transmission in 10-15 years, but occasionally I drive my parents car, and they still have manual.

Welcome to Me and None e-C3 🙂

Replacing Elton is like replacing Mr. Boo's name...

I want one. I hope you buy one!

Question for anyone familiar with the area. I will be in Villefranche in Aug. Should I get an EV rental car? Will charging be an issue and how expensive is it. Looking at what's available online it looks like day charging is very expensive and not sure how available are the chargers at night when it's cheaper?

I think if it had been the electric C 3 ,I suspect more people would have been be there . Stay charged..not required by the cars you saw .

Typical French wheeze- petrol powered electric car. Brilliant!

What a disappointing event...I suppose you got to sit in a similar petrol C3, but that's not what everybody turned up for ! Haha. You and Mr Boo made the most of it anyway.

actual real world range figures from the EV database Highway mild weather 145 miles Highway cold weather 110 miles. For the bigger 44 kwhr useable battery version. Basicall just a home charger tethered shopping trolley. Inadequate range to replace a conventional family ice car. It will be bought as a second or third car.

How does it go, no meat all potatoes lol ?

Blow whether its got a pink furry steering wheel or musical air-con. What about safety in a mixed vehicle driving environment ? Euro NCAP rating is higly relevant on this issue. ? You're sharing a road with other much heavier vehicles, some of which have top Euro NCAP crash resistance and some of which are mo-fo magnitudes of heaviness greater. Will lighter engineered cars need to display a vulnerability marking on their rear ends, as a warning to other drivers, in tbe same way that lorries with higly efficient air brakes did when first introduced in the 60s.? Marketeers wouldn't like it, but from a safety perspective it would be a good idea, given that the C3-e and the like gives the impression to the uniformed motorists, viewing at a distance, of a build strength that might be stronger than it actually is. Take it from me as someone whose VW Golf Mk1 was T-boned, at low-speed by a 38 tonner artic on the Hangar Lane giratory system,, West London.. "Steel is real" and offers better protection than alumiinium or composite. Of course, the proposition cbanges if all the cars on the road suddenly changed overrnight to lightweight composite.... but that ain't going go happen Looked as if forward vision through the front windscreen was not all that wonderful. I can't understand the design ethic for the current generation of EVs. You've lost the ICE under the bonnet, but they insist on retaining the bonnet profile in the body work instead of converting the space gained into more cabin space. What's the matter with these designers... too many focus groups with fingers in the pie.? The designers have been given a once in a 100 year opportunity to radically improve tbe design of cars for the users and they blow it.! And that C3 desperately needs more leg-room in the back, as Mr Boo demonstrated - he'd be giving hand signals with his feet out the window if he had to travel in the back in that thing. If its designed for Grandma and Grandpa, they won't need 4 - up seating most of the time. How about re-introducing the concept of a rumble seat (Enclosed). Designers must try harder. More radical approach to design needed.. Come back Alex Issigonis.

I like the idea of electric cars but here in the Italian Alps I am afraid they will all but die during the winter.

I suspect your videos might loose a certain something if you were in a “proper “ car. But if you really want one I wonder what Elton would fetch on auction? He has a certain history. 😊. I’m really sorry that your licensed status now prevents you from having a glass of wine. That’s brutal. I have to wonder how many accidents occurred because the driver had one glass.

Hello Tim, Mr. Boo, what a total waste of time! No, not your video, they are always great. But the Citroën dealer, I bet nearly all of those potential customers, were there to look at the new EV. Maybe just the dealer where you are is crap; however, Citroën must have approved the show. Look forward to more such videos, hopefully with a more competent dealer. Thanks for putting a smile on my face though with your and Mr. Boo's comments. ;)

The adoption of EV's by the reluctant masses is always going to be "problematic" .. Just think of what you could buy with 24 thousand Euros if you're looking at the used petrol cars that are available ! Seeing what the Chinese have done and how they did in China "enforcement" is a good case study indeed. The Chinese fire brigade are kept very busy putting out EV fires on a daily basis. Not just Cars but Buses and Bikes too.💥🔥 If, as legend states, the Chinese can produce "reliable" non explosive EV's for 5 thousand Euros, I would be interested in a test drive. As for international politics, that is just as much our fault as it is theirs. At this point in time EV's are not going to save the planet.🤷🏼‍♂

You you guys went all out to a car presentation that wasn’t even there??? Now that’s what i call a massive cock-up! At least you got some free drinks out of this waste of time! But bad points for citroen!

Hi, I collect and deliver electric cars and can say that they have lots of problems. The more complicated the more problems, stick to the ami.

Looks like every other car out there. Why does it need a "screen" and all the electric shit like windows and door locks????? I was hoping for a bigger AMI with more room and speed. Not a pig with lipstick.

for an electric car its a good price but it sure isn't Elton, so it becomes another normal car. Epic fail to invite a youtube channel to film it and then not have the car!! crazy French. Here's a guy who was able to preview and drive the new car kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lc6Yp9eYy5zJlWw.html

So far, I'm not impressed with the body design of any electric car I have seen to date, with the exception of the monAMI. I my monAMI EV The least the designers could have done is make a Citroen monAMI look like a 1911 STUTZ Bearcat. Oh man. Yeah!!!!

I was hoping you would be outside & pressed against the glass filming tbh, 😆 aannd! ..its a bloody nissan juke ffs, a faux suv, ..makes me sad,. Obese (cake eating) cars lives on sadly, not a wee smart car rejuve ..Merde!
