FIRST DRIVE: Citroen Oli A Genius Cardboard Car, Top Gear

Meet Oli. Citroens latest wouldnt it be great if concept that looks like a moon buggy that the rocket dropped from orbit, but the thinking is deeply down to earth. It tackles the major elephant in the room questions for electric cars, and manufacturing overall. The windscreen is flat because that uses less glass than a curved one. Aero isnt important in town. What if weve gone wrong with supersized lithiumhungry batteries The Olis is just 40kWh. But thats good enough for 248 miles of range twice the endurance of a Honda e for only 14 per cent more capacity because it weighs half a tonne less. The Oli comes in at only 1, 000kg, thanks to less soundproofing (EVs are already quiet), and a roof, bonnet and truck bed made from polyurethanecoated cardboard. So its waterproof, as strong as steel, but half the mass. And recyclable. It also drives. So join Top Gear Magazines Ollie Kew as he talks you around this wacky concept before taking it for a quick spin. Subscribe to Top Gear for mo
