People here easily cross-reference KM’s and Miles. 320 KM’s300 miles? It’s at 199 miles according to Fiat UK… https://www.fiat.co.uk/electric-cars/range-batteries-charging
which in reality will be 50% of that.
This really sums it up.We have our 2015 500e still and the battery is starting to show it's age, plus the range was never great to start with. All that aside, we've loved this car and have been stressing out over how to keep it going as the rest of the car is still as new. We haven't found a cost effective way to replace/ upgrade the battery pack. The new 500e reportedly can get almost 300 miles range in around town driving, that would solve all our problems.... Just hope it's not $60 grand....
Really? I love the Abarth's cluster - so simple, so compact, everything I need with a couple of presses on the end of the stick. I assume you drove a post-2015 model? They changed the cluster drastically in 2015.I test drove the Abarth 500 when they first came out. Didn't care at all for the instrument cluster. It would have been very difficult for my dog to jump into the back seat, not because of large size, she's a corgi.
So you like the car then?Low cost power? For a 35k car that seats 1.5 persons. I like this new math
Why would anyone buy a used one unless it was incredibly cheap? Only the first owner gets the $10k, right? Before this new version went on sale in Europe, used-car lots in California were selling the originals to people in Norway, there was such a demand for them over there.With all the designer editions, this 500e is the marketing department's high-markup dream. I imagine it will be offered at $35,000 plus. Just right for the urban lifestyle trendsetters. I would like to see Fiat offer low content gas powered vehicles also. Just think: All the folks in Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming could buy them, drive them 50 miles and sell them as used cars into California.
Regarding my comment that Fiat should sell low content GASOLINE powered cars in the USA... Here in California, it will not be legal to sell new gasoline powered cars after 2035. It will be legal to buy used gasoline powered cars. Therefore, I see market potential for selling used, USA certified gasoline powered cars into CA after 2035.Why would anyone buy a used one unless it was incredibly cheap? Only the first owner gets the $10k, right? Before this new version went on sale in Europe, used-car lots in California were selling the originals to people in Norway, there was such a demand for them over there.
And 185 in a Maserati would cost Joe Walsh his license, either way...Sammy Hagair can’t drive 88.5….
This looks like the other "Crossovers " being cranked out & I imagine it could do well in the USA. Especially if it's priced right and has a performance option.Figured it would be the 500e . . . . but was really hoping for the Panda or Pulse. Would love to have the Pulse here and feel it would sell well, especially the Abarth variant.
