So happy this review was done by an actual Fiat fan. The original 500e was hugely popular in Los Angeles, so at the very least I think this new version will do well here. The screen seems responsive enough to me, I think the actual problem may be touch recognition. And I think if hard plastics are going to be used in a car, then this is absolutely the way to do it -- with colorful panels rather than a drab gray textured finish.

I still drive my 2013 500e daily, except for snow days. It's still great!

We recently bought a two-year old La Prima (top spec) model in the UK. Around about half the original price, so quite a lot of depreciation - but I think that is just the market right now. And we absolutely love, love, love it. We also have a Hyundai Ioniq 6 as our primary car, so the Fiat fits beautifully into the family. It’s been on some long day trips recently (as the I6 was out of action), do close to 400 miles in a day, and aside from more charge stops (compare to the I6), it has handled the wonderfully. Lots of personality, easy and fun to drive, still “perky” despite the low-ish power, and so damn cute to look at. No regrets.

Love my 2018 Fiat and would absolutely buy this... Used. The styling is on point. The problem is that the small car gets great gas mileage, but sort of the opposite effect when it's electric and loses battery space. I've never once used the back seat, it would be nice to have an option for battery expansion or something to replace that space. Very happy to see a review from a fan and not somebody who doesn't get it. We'd all be safer if we drove small cars.

Had this car for the day in Madrid. Fantastic car compared to the equivalent 1 litre fossil rental car. Big tv and double the power for easy high speed motoring.

I've had my 500e Icon trim since 2022 in the UK and hands down been the best built fiat ive ever had and so much fun to drive in town. Great for the work commute. This is also the third variant of the 500 model ive had (Abarth 595, 500 sport)

[charleshayden]

J - you loaded a ton of pertinent info into 46 mins, and a well-done production. Professional work and straight talk. The car: Italian flair with “enough” Zip to stay safe, and - Oh, yeah, FUN! These have City-appeal, no doubt. Exciting times for Motor Heads - hard to keep up with the DAILY innovations. 👍🏿👍🏿🙏🏻👊

I watched a video that pointed out drum brakes were only an issue with excessive use, but were really good at keeping the brake sealed from moisture preventing rust. Perfect for EV applications.

I have been waiting for this out of spec review can't wait for a 70 mph range test I love my 2015 500e I am holding out for the cabriole

[ChargingtheRoad]

Ok, who was responsible for this edit?! That Intro was FIRE!

[neurokinetik]

Finally, something I'm interested in buying.

[matt.docondor]

It is a stylish car, I Like the Convertible 500E. The full electric Fiat 500 E is a lot larger than the former gas and hybrid Versions, comfortable seating is possible with a 6.2" size. 😁. A great electric retro car for the metropolitan areas.

[pjmverbruggen]

Cool to see my car; I also have the 500e RED edition. But then in the European trim. I LOVE it and call it my Urban Tesla. Totally agree with the joy and personality of driving it. And I also agree with the inability to set my charge value. In addition I can’t see charge speeds in the car. Over the air updates do come but very irregular. Apart from that ; it’s perfect! ❤❤❤
Also fantastic video!

My small hatchback is a little Renault Zoe. It’s the best car I’ve ever had in my control, using an 80% full battery.

Good review. People spend so much money on accommodations that only apply to 2% of their life. Gotta have a dedicated guest bedroom for the 1-2 times a year someone actually stays at the house. Gotta have a 300 mile range EV for the 1-2 times a year you drive more than 30 miles a day. Gotta have a pickup truck for the 1-2 times a year you actually need to haul something that won't fit in a car. That's what rentals are for.

[jjbuu]

Great info. Please do the 2024 Kona Electric next!

[paulkoop]

Red is also Italy's racing color.

[meandmyEV]

Great review! I love the production quality.

I also had a combustion 500 and it was one of my favorite cars of all time. I’m a big guy but it was a very comfortable car for the front passengers and crazy fun to drive.

[Madonsteamrailways]

To be honest, I’m impressed by the style of this damned car. To me, the car is a small car for urban transportation. I’m a country man living in Hertfordshire.

Your videos are genuinely entertaining, keep it up
