I totally agree. Especially if they are driving to and from work or errands by themselves. I would totally daily one of these to work and back. But I do have kids in car seats, so that may be an issue if I needed to haul the family. Otherwise it’s perfect for my 12 mile round trip commute.

I had a 2016. In 2020, the a/c stopped working. Since its a high voltage A/C, Fiat had no mechanics that could work on it -- I'm in Florida and the car was only released in Cali. Every dealer in California had a trained tech, but only every 5ish dealers nationwide did. By 2020 they had all moved on to new jobs. Fiat North America got involved and they couldn't locate me anybody, either. I tried Toyota, Tesla, private mechanics. I only found a youtuber 200 miles away that was willing to give it a shot... I had to sell the vehicle.

My partner and I had one of the previous generation gas 500s. I loved it, great for zipping around and easy to park. Never had an issue carrying what we needed, even managed a full flat packed patio set from target with the hatch bungeed down. We also went skiing once by borrowing a friend's window mounted ski rack. The only place it fell down was carrying more than two people. For a household with more than one car, this thing is a homerun.

[@kenmcclow8963]

I had a 2013 500e and I think it was a very practical commuter car. It fits in small parking spaces that other people can’t fit in. The one I had was a lot narrower than most US cars so it could get into spots where people parked on the divider line and still open the doors. Mine had a range of 86 miles and the furthest I drove it was 57 miles to the airport (where they had 50 electric outlets (level 1)). I could charge it at home and saved thousands in gas money. Then I bought two more EV’s that cost a lot more, but included fast charging

[@mowcowbell]

I agree, this makes a great 2nd car for around town errands. Oklahoma dealers are selling these for $29k.

[@stevefrench4595]

Yup, a CO deal. They have crazy EV incentives!. $4k down and $99/mo isn't bad at all if the range works for you. We've had two of the Gen1, a 2014 and now a 2017. Put over 50K miles just around town, work commute and weekend fun.

[@meandmyEV]

Yeah I had a 2012 500 which I bought as a commuter but I used to cram my (little) kids in it a lot because I preferred it to my van. My wife at the time convinced me to get the 500L in 2015 which was ok but nowhere near as fun as the 500. I would have considered the 500e but that range just doesn’t make sense where I live in Atlanta. There are days when just running errands and taking the kids to stuff can eat through 150 miles of range so I have a Bolt EUV which I also love.

[@lisam4503]

@@albertatundra You do that through subsidies for oil companies and car company bail outs! Also I am in Arizona and they had a rebate scam here for natural gas powered vehicles. The only ones that benefitted from it was wealthier Republicans! I am not a Democrat either for the record. I think for now EV incentives are a good idea to build an American system for components used in them and to lead towards the eventual mass production of them. The more of them produced the more the cost of them should go down! Also the more EV's the less demand for Gasoline and the more the price of gasoline should go down. At that point EV drivers will be helping subsidize fuel prices for those driving Ice vehicles.

❤it. Back in 1999 I did the same thing as my F350 PowerStroke Dooley was not a good daily driver thus: I purchased a new 1999 Dodge Neon R/T red 2 door which had white racing stripes for my daily commuter. I drove it to 227,000 miles when in the Fall of 2012 the 3rd gear in the transmission broke sending metal parts right through the transmission housing draining all of his fluid on my hot exhaust, quite a smoky show. I had it towed to the dealer where I purchased it from and always had it serviced at. The owners manual said the transmission oil would “last the life of the vehicle” and thus it “did not need changing”. However, dealer said I should’ve changed the manual transmission oil at 100,000 miles and I told the same service advisor I used since the day I purchased the car there “you should’ve told me that.” Management agreed and gave me $1000 towards a trade in and great deal on another vehicle, a used Mazda Tribute 4x4.

[@lisam4503]

Looking like the two best deals on a Fiat 500e are going to come from renting/leasing them and buying used lease/rental cars. New pricing on them is a bit steep. Everything I've read about them or reviews I've watched about them say they are a great little EV. Can't wait to see if Stellantis holds to bringing a 25,000 or less EV to the United States as they said they were going to. I still see a bright future for EV's in the younger generations! Got a lot of older foggies unwilling to accept change and hot rod types that can only think in 8 cylinders.

I wanted to love this car when first revealed during covid but it hasn't been given any real investment by its parent company. We have to ask ourselves why the 500e is less equipped in the US without a soft top roof, base trim or 24kWh battery; or the lack of any choice of battery between 24-44kWh We seriously need to criticise Stellantis for squandering a brand new EV platform by FCA that's assembled very expensively along side Maseratis in Turin for just one model of car (no Panda, no Giardinia estate, 600e based on a different global architecture). But hey a bunch of cynical chic fashion brand promotions for the car will shore up the demand and profits, right ?

But when you look at the deal there is this line " Lessee may be responsible for additional charges at end of lease term based upon the difference between the residual value and its realized value. " So if the value of the car drops like a rock over 27 months it will be like being upside down if you baught the car?

You also show an interesting way that US people think of practical. You describe why it's practical, then say it's not practical.

I wish they would have just done away with the back seat and made it deep and high cargo area. It’s a two passenger vehicle period! And what’s going to happen years down the line when it’s time to replace the battery? Will they even be selling them? I noticed since these small fiat ev cars came out there hasn’t been any info about what battery is being used etc. what brand? Etc. At least GM tells us what they are using. Ultimum batteries. The battery is the most expensive replacement of these EVs and when they don’t provide much detail about them it’s concerning. It’s a deal breaker for me. I’m not a lease owner. I’m a long term owner. So what happens after the two years? You have to put down another $900 to keep it $47 a month or will it be higher? I’m Guessing it will be higher in two years lol. Fine print. So many people are opting for leasing EVs which tells me that’s what these cars are good for. Short term ownership! Don’t need to worry about battery replacement just get a new EV after two years or so just like your smartphone. I still have an iPhone X. It’s ancient. I replaced the battery about 6 months ago with a cheap $20 battery from amazon. But now it’s not performing the way it use to not sure because of the battery or the fact it’s just an older phone. I already feel I need to replace it with something newer. Such a shame. 🤦‍♂️.
