Marcusbil wanted me to test the fully electric Fiat 500e. So I did.

I found one of these in town for $7, 500 with barely any miles on it. I bought it as a 3rd car for our family. We quickly discovered the back seat is even too small for most kids. But that's ok, we have other cars for when we go out as a family. It is a fun car to drive, though. And ours was so cheap we can hardly complain about anything.

This is a great cumuter car. I us it every day in Germany for comuting to work 85km and for this its doing realy good.

Great line: backseat 'for people without legs.' LOL

If you driving to work, everyday, , 99% alone in the car, and u have to park it in crowded area, this car is better then anything else out there.

car looks great man ! I love the interior white and orange. I wish more people have this car so will be easier to park for everyone and no pollution.

Purchased 500e for my wife who just loves it - for its tiny size, retro feeling, eco-oriented driving, quiet behind the wheel etc. And I can add that after twenty years of driving the fossils driving 500e is really a big fun, doesn't get worn. The range of approx 130 in winter and 160 in summer is more than sufficient - we hardly drive more than 90 a day. We just plug it in during the night and in the morning we are ready for another portion of kilometers. Great car for this purpose - but don't you dare entering the motorway with it :-).

The little shelf in the back is for security. People can not see what is in your your cargo area though the window.

I own BMW I3 and Fiat 500e... Guess what, BMW hardly ever gets driven... Is it better than BMW?? NO, but way more fun... 8600$ out of door with 16, 000 miles and 1 year full warranty 5 years battery warranty 25$ electricity 1, 000 miles.... Hard to beat bang for the buck, paid more for my dirt bike....

Weird that FIAT doesn’t sell the 500e in europe officially if you watch this video you can see that it’s a US spec 500

[hartfischer]

If the price is right, this car is fantastic :) Several of my friends own it for pretty much free, because their lease is less than the gas they used to pay for. Gotta love the Italian styling and quirkiness :)

I almost spit my drink out at the monitor when you said "with 2 optional seats for people without legs".

Thanks Bjørn! I had also wanted to see you review the 500e. It's a very popular EV here in California.

[maulesel]

Why so negative? It's a really nice looking car, perfect for the city. It really makes sense to build an EV version of it. Unfortunately the CEO of Fiat hates EVs. Thats why they didn't put much effort in it (like fast charging capabilities). This car was only designed to meet regulations in California. The only place where it's officially sold. At least in Germany you can only get imported versions. If it had a fast charger I would consider buying one, but I also fear that no Fiat dealer is able to service the car here when something goes wrong.

I have pulled 60kw Regen in the Fiat 500e. The Regen is limited on several factors. Like all ev's the state of charge affects Regen rates. On a small 24 kwh battery like that car you won't get a ton of Regen at 80% but it starts to get heavy at around 70-60% it will be able to pull about 40kw easy. This particular car also limits Regen to several (about 7-8kw) if the battery is too cold. The battery has active heating and cooling and Regen power is limited until the battery gets up to temperature.

Fiat just launched a proper electric 500 with 320 km range and fast charging. It should make a huge difference in the adoption of electric vehicles.

Still the same tiny rear seats, though. 😁

[ShawnSonnentag]

LOL! Good thing that finger-deep gizmo wasn’t a cigar trimmer. 😆

[davidrowlands]

I love watching your videos, Bjorn, but I must say I haven't laughed so much in ages! Fantastic job. "Orange cow" and "Optional two extra seats for people without legs!" Brilliant! LOL

[uaalien]

I have it and I love it. Compared to Nissan Leaf, the battery is fantastic, even though the car doesn't have Chademo.

[joakimleigh]

Don't think this was negative at all. You were having great fun with it and made me want to get one. Ideal second car for some people. I just bought a 2014 Berlingo electric which I am more than happy with for our purposes but I did not see many reviews on it. You are welcome to try it if you are in Skåne 😊.
