UBITRICITY
To celebrate the launch of Ami 100% ëlectric in the UK, Citroën has partnered with charging provider ubitricity, a member of the Shell Group, to make owning and using Ami 100% ëlectric more accessible to those who do not have off-street parking. As part of Citroën’s ‘Power To The People’ philosophy – aiming to make electrification accessible by offering every kind of electric for all kinds of people – the first 2,000 UK customers of Ami 100% ëlectric will receive three months of free charging across ubitricity’s network of more than 5,400 lamppost chargers in Greater London and in a growing number of locations across the UK.

Daniel Kunkel, CEO of ubitricity, said: “The visions of Citroën’s Ami and ubitricity’s lamp post charge points align neatly – they are minimalistic, space-saving and simple, with a low footprint, mindful of resources and affordable for everyone. In many of Europe’s cities, space is at a premium and for EV drivers without private parking, ubitricity’s lamp post charging solution offers convenient and affordable access to on-street charging right at their doorstep.”

Laurent Barria, Global Director of Marketing and Communications Citroën, said: “We are very happy to be partnering with ubitricity on this venture. Ami offers a comprehensive solution for urban mobility, our aim is to make freedom of movement easier and suited to the greatest number of people”.

In Europe, the partnership is focusing on making the switch to electric easier as more ubitricity chargers are becoming available in a growing number of countries across Europe for Citroën’s growing EV fleet, and the partnership will aim to accelerate this growth further.

ubitricity’s network is focused on installing electric vehicle chargers in existing infrastructure such as street lights. This offers a quick and easy way for urban areas to roll out a dense charging network without long planning phases. On-street EV charging makes it easier for those without access to off-street parking to make the switch to electric. Users can start a charging session either by scanning a QR code on the lamppost or by using a designated app.
