LIKE if you like the look of the Fiat 500e & SHARE if you think 2021 will be a big year for EVs
It's small, it's compact, it's fun, it's cool, and Robert absolutely loves it. The Fiat 500e was originally a compliance car only available in California, but now Fiat will be mass producing this little gem of a car in Turin, Italy and shipping it globally.
Coming in cheaper than similar sized EVs like the Honda e and the Mini electric, this car delivers a decent range which can easily be increased using the Sherpa mode which suits city driving. The back seat is pretty small, but the boot is surprisingly roomy and it is a beautifully styled car. Robert is clearly impressed with it's efficiency and practicality, which is a little like his new lockdown haircut!

Welp, range and charge time was always my biggest barrier to entry, but you've now added another. Though, I can't wait for an EV to become viable for me, or at least my partner.

@0hypnotoad0 3 года назад

@@chakky533 I purchased in 2019, and a lot of the "concerns" I heard about charging have proven to be largely unfounded. I've done some good sized road trips in my Kona EV, mostly on a pretty old/crappy charging network in my province, and so far it's been without any issues. Done 800 km, 1200km, and 1800km trips, and I am planning a 12,000 km road trip (coast to coast) in the summer. IMO I think price is still the main real barrier, in some usage cases EVs can wind up being cost competitive or cheaper than an ICE, but IMO it needs to be clearly and unboundedly cheaper in every use scenario before they really take off, as it is the price stings a bit too much, and I understand why people would still choose an ICE in 2020. I'd say a $5000 price premium for electric is justifiable, as you'd recoup that cost very quickly in fuel and maintenance.

@shonunezekiel 3 года назад

@@0hypnotoad0 out of interest, did you work out what the cost savings were to you on those roadtrips vs the Kona ICE version?

@0hypnotoad0 3 года назад

@@shonunezekiel I spent $72 (that's canadian garbage-dollars) on the 1800 km trip, my previous 1200 km trip wound up being more expensive than it should have been because my particular car (Kona EV) suffered a pricing error on Electrify America's charging network (this has been fixed now). In theory, based on the prices I was seeing at some chargers, on a road trip an EV is very marginally cheaper than a very efficient hybrid car. Additionally, a lot of that charging was free at tourism destinations that are trying to attract EV traffic. Now, in practice there's some asterisks on this, most of my annual mileage is done at home or at work, which is VERY cheap (at home), or outright free at some public chargers. I clocked 14,000 km this year and I've spent a grand total of $120 on electricity, but incidentally by sheer luck, a lot of my charging was free this year because I wound up working a jobsite next to a bunch of free level 2 chargers.

@nevco8774 3 года назад

Oddly enough the state liable for demanding bringing to market the first generation of FIAT500e - California as all the USA or Canada is not going to get on its markets any of FIAT500e of second generation. The irony of the situation is that to import a car from the USA to Europe is much easier than to bring one from Europe to the USA. For instance most second hand FIAT500e of first generation were sold in Norway while I seriously doubt any car of second generation will end up anywhere in North America unfortunately. Mercedes Benz lobbied the USA Congress in 80ties and managed to pass a law prohibiting gray import of new cars. At that time all were ICEs. Some might argue that the emisdion laws are different accros the pond. However is not feasible to talk about emissions while arguing against new BEV imports from Europe. At this point at the end of 2020 in the USA is only one BEV on sale not yet found in Europe - Tesla Model Y. In Europe though are available dosens of BEVs

Awesome I want one! Nice air cut too (I have had the same for the past 15 years 😂). Last but not least “easy peasy lemon squeezy” = “facile come bere un bicchier d’acqua” (literarily “easy as drinking a glass of water”). I personally love the English saying without Italian translation though 😄

@I G can't speak for the fiat yet. But you go on and drive the Honda in an... Elevated fassion. Let me know if you know any small car that is quite as good to drive. You are right calling it a hairdressers car because those look SHARP.

When I worked at the auto auction in California saw many of the older 500e come though they went for a few thousand.

@halstead3962 3 года назад

One one problem with those cars was the range. 80 miles max new. That doesn’t work except for in city driving. I live 45 miles from the big city so that doesn’t work for me. Now 150 miles that’s much better! But… I live in the states. Dang!

@bikecommuter24 3 года назад

@@halstead3962 150 miles yes I could handle that. I noticed at the auction they didn't have a long range when I charged them up they showed a range of 90 or so miles on the instrument panel I used to laugh when I turned the radio, air conditioner and such off the range shot up. I actually want an Electric motorcycle, I almost there I donated my gas powered bike this afternoon and I'm using the tax credit towards that goal and their are rebates for electric motorcycles.

For those in Canada, Australia, and the EU, 149 Imperial MPG is the equivalent of 1.90 litres per 100 km. Too bad the 500e isn't available in Canada. We still have a dearth of choices here relative to Europe and elsewhere.

You should do a whole episode on dodgy/confusing charger interfaces! OMG, they are all different and are all terrible (at least here in Canada). Unfortunately I think it’s not helping with EV adoption.

@Jonathantuba 3 года назад

That is the overwhelming advantage of Tesla. A comparable network is required for other EV’s to get widespread adoption

@davidpereira9238 3 года назад

In the UK it's not just the charger interfaces, it's the network. You can't just plug and charge, you usually have to subscribe (paying) to the supplier. And that's when you can find a working one. Absurd but true
