Oh good grief, gents, you really do have all the luck! Nice to see the teabags are getting a use at least. And nice to hear the tree man of Alcatraz too!
When I drove a 2CV back in the day, I used to wave at fellow 2CV drivers and there was always an enthusiastic response between owners. It became a little odd when I continued to wave at 2CV drivers when I was driving a completely different car….
Oh well, it had to happen I suppose but to take on some of these routes with an Ami is brave!! It's good to see how well it does, especially when all the EV naysayers complain about vehicles with ranges of 150 - 200 miles, it just shows what can be done with a 50 mile range and some ingenuity. I'm waiting for the Fiat version next year and hope to have as much fun 🙂
Indeed... The 50mile range light EV like the AMi obviously make much more sense as affordable transport with minimal emissions and environmental impact than the battleship EV that is being touted the survivors of the planet. I used to have a company that built electric Aircraft Tugs and decades ago we considered some designs for something very much like the AMI, and we figured that one of the big benefits of a light EV was the lower KWh requirements equals faster charging, And as LifePo4 (Lithium Iron) batteries can be charged 3 times faster than a comparable Lithium Battery, and can do 3 to 8 times more cycles ,for less cost, a LIfePo4 pack that provided level-2 charging in the Ami Tim and Boo's 30min lunch charge could add 50miles or more.
@@MeandMonAmi After more than a year putting LifePo4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries through use and abuse testing, and I've become a huge fan and advocate of Lithium Iron batteries over Lithium Ion.

BTW: This summer I used my 1300watt DIY eBike, (sometimes with a single wheel Yakima trailer) for daily use and did a bit over 1,000 miles.That required about 30 Kilowatt hours or $2.75 in electricity to charge, and generated about 12kg in CO2.

I just wish something like the AMI was available in America, I'd use it for about 90% of my transport needs.
A cliff-hanger! We’ll have to wait til next week to see if Elton actually made it up there. On the plus side, it will be a breeze to regenerate power on the way down. Sucks you guys were stranded with a power deficit. Hope to see you soon in Sospel!
valuable experience in event of my becoming too optimistic - just had minor week- long heatwave to 30 degrees in Kent - had to stay grounded with dogs indoors - what fun !
Well that's quite a steep slope, exciting to see how much effort Elton has with it. I hope you will eventually arrive safely in Sospel! Now we have to bite our nails for a whole week again to see how that will turn out! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
stay charged! famous last words , never more right than today! whoever owns an ami feels with you guys. we hope the little elton makes it. and if he does not,.... you can just turn around any time and get recharged on the way down. we still think too much like gas guzzlers, ami is different.
Ooooh,lovely Villefranche,lovely cuppa ,lovely teapot ! ...perilous road in places scary Mary...but we all know Elton can do it,BRMmmmmm brmmmm,vroom... Good luck ❤
wife and i love your vidios and hope you got back safe look forwards to you next one .wife said any chance of a photo of you boys and the lovey dog thanks a great show love to you both.
Wonderful facial expressions from the two of you as always!!!🙊 but on a serious note, to say you have no licence Tim, I personally (being a bit pathetic) think you do incredibly up the steep cliff roads we have round here….I even hate the run up to Eze 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣. Hope we manage to catch up…M & L
stunning road but indeed seems really dangerous. what a stress watching the cars behind you, the range dropping like hell, almost entering turtle mode..... breathtaking. fingers crossed for the second part next Sunday.
Mister Me and Mister Boo and Elton and Twiggy!! Crikey that is some steep accent with gorgeous views😊❤ bet the tran rude was something in its day 😊😊 soòoo we await the upcoming vlog to see how things pan out🤔🤔great photography & editing Tim 💯👌stay well & even more importantly stay bloody charged 😀 🎉
Thanks for another gripping episode. I hope you've got good personal liability cover. These cliffhanging endings of yours aren't good for my heart 😲🤣. Hopefully I'll be discharged from A&E in time for the next episode. Thanks again!
Such a pity, it was going Great until the Power Problem. I know how to fix that. Put Peddles on the Passanger Side and Mister Boo can Peddle it up hill, or maybe recharge the Battery. OK! I admit that was a bad idea. Ha! Ha! I wish the Tory Government would get kicked out soon so I can Renew my Passport.
Well at least you are in the shade.... every cloud .... worst case scenario... can you phone for road side assitance or tow truck recovery? I'd be in meltdown by now... tempted to turn around and go back 😊
That mini was right up yr rear very annoying.waiting for the fiat topolino to come out in the U.K we live in London not have issues outside london has you cannot drive it on motorways.😀
I’m sure you all made it , too late for lunch maybe but maybe they have some food left…..little Twigs I love seeing her every week it’s a joy. Thanks again boys. Xxx
Still loving your videos. What is the name of the restaurant in sospel? We’re touring around on our electric bikes and are going to stay up there a couple of nights. Maybe someday we can all meet up on our travels. Daniel and Martin.
Does the AMI have a OBD2 port? You could try to get a Bluetooth dongle to read the car/battery more pricier info and diagnostics from it. Maybe like teslabjorn does when reading the real status of the battery 🪫 when reviewing EVs
I think the reading on the dash is very accurate the problem came in the recent trip because we’d not accounted for having to go right back down to come back up
@@MeandMonAmi When the warranty is up and you're free to fiddle with the car more thoroughly I'd be tempted to mount permanently a couple of solar panels on the roof and a charge controller so the batteries can be charged on the fly.
What a cliff-hanger...reminds me of Saturday morning pictures when Buck Rogers or Batman & Robin were left facing certain death and we could not wait to go next week and see how they managed to survive... (again!!) I guess all worked out well seeing as you uploaded the vlog....mmmm, where has my innocence of childhood gone????
You could do a review of the French breakdown services. In the UK you have the AA and the RAC, which both help out motorists who have run out of fuel regardless of what type of fuel but it's more common for petrol cars to run out even when you take into account the amount of EV's on the roads. Let's see what the French have.
Hi lads from Spain where it is a little cooler at 29° (our max for the day!) That road reminds me of the one from Cazorla to Arroyo Frío where we sometimes go for a winter holiday. You do like to put yourselves into stressful sitruations. I suppose you had no phone signal so that you could put lunch on the back burner until you arrived. You really should take your own advice and stay charged.
Almost guys almost, don’t worry we’ll all be sitting down for lunch next Sunday, until then I could think of worse places to be stuck. Enjoy the weather and the scenery and as always Stay Charged

Hi Guy's, I am still impressed with your courage, to even try these trips! Those views are amazing though... However, I was thinking: If you would attach your flexible solar panels (with ducttape or something) on the roof, you can recharge the Bluëttie while you drive! Because you already use power of it for the 'carpoodle-screen' and maybe for other electrical applications(?)! And you will keep of the heat of from that blasting sun! (every little helps 😉)
Shame the tram doesn't run anymore, that would be a great trip along those viaducts. We did a tram ride in Innsbruck on the Stubai Valley Tram that goes up to a mountain village, it was tremendous. Great episode, I'm sure Elton got you there 🤔 Eventually.
I was getting very anxious watching this. Lovely to see that it is cool enough for Twiggy to accompany you. I was panicking that you would end up on the motorway. Hope that you got your lunch eventually
Well, Tim, we've been away for a bit, and are now catching up. Just wondering, could you have called to try to change your lunch reservation so you could get a full charge in Sainte-Agnès before soldiering on? We laughed hearing the Logman of Alcatraz working away in the background whilst you were trying to charge Elton. We've been on that road, and I don't want to spoil it, but I'm guessing you made it to Sospel after all. Looking forward to the trip to Sospel Part Deux. All best to you both, and Twigs!
i was coming from work and i stopped at a junction when a black range rover went into the back of me at first i thought he had damaged my bumper but he had hit the tailgate @@MeandMonAmi

You spotting Ami's is like me spotting i3's. Don't see any of them until you own one. Loving the EV life, hope you are too!
yup in spite of it all!
Same here!
Same with us and the Twizy but there's only one other in our region and we know the owner 😀
When I drove a 2CV back in the day, I used to wave at fellow 2CV drivers and there was always an enthusiastic response between owners. It became a little odd when I continued to wave at 2CV drivers when I was driving a completely different car….

If we hadn’t been trying to get there for lunch..
I’m eager for the restaurant recommendation.
Omg you are a brave driver . I drive in this road with a car and I was afraid in every km. Plus I had temperature warning 😅. Great job
Thanks
Came back for a 2nd watching because I absolutely cannot wait for tomorrow’s episode!
Thanks
valuable experience in event of my becoming too optimistic - just had minor week- long heatwave to 30 degrees in Kent - had to stay grounded with dogs indoors - what fun !
Yup first time we really miscalculated
I wouldnt have went on that tram if you paid me 😂
Would have been quite scary!
In next week’s episode …. We Spend a Week Living in a Lay-by!!!!
Indeed. Funny
I cannot wait until next week, the suspense... Stay safe and stay charged!

Great suspense as always!
One question, can you drive and charge with the power station at the same time?
Thanks!
thanks and sadly not!
Oh well, that would have been too easy. Thanks anyway
Ooooh,lovely Villefranche,lovely cuppa ,lovely teapot !
...perilous road in places scary Mary...but we all know Elton can do it,BRMmmmmm brmmmm,vroom...
Good luck ❤
Thanks ruby. 2 euros in second hand shop!
All those crashes from the viaduct into the Kabin on Corrie didn't end the tram, so it doesn't always happen Tim 😂😂

Cliff-hanger! Love it. Thanks guys.
Don't know if either of you watch the videos back with subtitles, but on this one threw up Monica for Monaco and viaduck for viaduct!!
Sometimes we re subtitle the whole thing but it takes time and costs money
I couldn’t take the grief you lads put up with…… thank god I’ve a license an drive a diesel.
I do feel your pain🫤🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼I’ll keep em crossed.
We do love Elton though
Where can i buy my M&MA "Smuggling Chihuahuas" branded t-shirt?

Chapeau🎉

Me too - although not the South of France (too hot for me).
Do you want to edit the videos too?;
