Just got a used (off lease ) 2014 1 month ago. It is fantastic. I commute 50 miles round trip, using just over half of the stored energy. Plug in at night. It is the fastest car I have owned, (except for a 1952 Jaguar Mk 1 sedan) . Accelerates and handles like a sports car. Love it. The generic 240 volt charger I installed in my garage charges it in 4 hours from empty, but tops it off after getting back from work in about 1 and a half hours. Also have grid tie solar, the car uses about 1/3 of my daily output to charge from empty, but averages only 13 % with my typical use. I sometimes plug in at work if I am close to an outlet and it is fully charged when I leave for home. Then it only takes about 40 min to recharge at home. -----Go electric and go solar. Fantastic car!
+howardbrinton been looking into solar next just seems like a smart move when you have an electric car. Thanks for sharing
This is a car I initially dismissed as a toy. My work commute is 48 miles round trip, I have free L2 charging at work, and free L2 charging within walking distance of my apartment. My plan was to get an electric scooter and ride it home and back. Really stoked about the active battery charging. I'm figuring that if I need to go out of town I plan to also own a Civic GX (CNG), I see them selling pretty cheap. I live in SoCal they have them for $8000 and under all day.
Good video. I have a 2015 500e I bought a year ago. It only had 3000 miles on it. Paid just over 10k for it, tax and license included. I love this car. I bought a level II charger and it makes the car even more practical.
Thanks for the great review. I purchased and imported an off lease Fiat 500e to Georgia back on the 4th of January. I live in the smallest city & county in the state of Georgia. Home of the University of Georgia @ Athens. Our nearest FIAT dealer is in Atlanta, a little over a half a charge away, and I'm sure that the dealer there would be clueless if I had to take this totally electric FIAT in for service! It was a leap of faith to purchase this FIAT but due to it having the BOSCH drivetrain and an amazing battery cooling system, I felt confident that this was a risk worth taking. After living with this amazing FIAT 500e for three months, (I did install a JuiceBox Pro Level 2 Charger at the house), I am sold on the total electric vehicle. I love my 500e!
+HEAD4UGA I have been debating on installing the level 2 charger. There has only been one day that it didn't charge all the way up over night because it didn't have enough time. But, it would be nice to not even have to worry about it anymore.
Hi Greg. I charge up with the JuiceBox Pro from a 19% battery in under 3 hours. I did spend $600 on the JBP (it also has a great app that keeps track of your kwh) and another $400 to install the correct plug for the unit. The peace of mind knowing that I can come home and plug up my FIAT to a full charge by the AM and drive it up to 80 miles plus the next day, has made me a believer in the electric car!
JuiceBox Pro is that plug into washer machine plug..i got a issue with my garge wiring has no ground wire ? i was looking for a level 2
trying figure out if I can go on a 21 mile trip on highway at 60 mph no chargers in range that route usally 81 miles charged but don't know how far I can go doing 60mph ? draws more juice?
+gasdorfic muncher when I first bought the car I drove it from the deal which was 70 miles from my house. 95% of that was highway. I had like 8% left in my car so I was cutting it closes lol. I also had it on cruse control most of the time and did not run the AC as that take your mileage down about another 10 miles or so. Hope that helps
Good review homie. I just bought one last night. Thanks for the tips.
I recently bought one the same years and the same color, except mine has a sunroof. I wanted an inexpensive EV for around town here in Phoenix. I love this little Fiat 500e. It is a great little car for doing all my daily things, and it cost almost nothing to run. 5 year registration here in Arizona was $86 dollars, and I can drive in the carpool lane anytime I want because it's an EV. It only has about a 95 miles range, but it's plenty good for 90% of what most people people drive in a city. I see all the these people buying giant gas guzzling pickup trucks that get 15mpg, because they have to have an ego booster. I grew up having small cars, and I'm 6'5". I will never go back to owning a gas powered car again. Electric Cars forever!
Hey Greg, nice video. To force the app to update, press and hold the refresh button.
could you give a break down of your actual lease agreement if it isn't too much to ask for .like down payment, monthly payments, mileage allowed for the 3year lease.thanks 😁👍
Thanks for this helpful tip. I think I'm going to get one.
This looks super professional! Congrats!!! Bro!!! You r good!
Hi. One question: how can I set the Italian language on my 500e? Thank you
Thank you for the info! I'm looking to buy a car for my daughter, but I might get this for myself! 🤗
Great vid. I'm just beginning my research on going with an electric car. For in the city, the 500e looks like a fab choice for a few folk, though, I would likely feel a fair bit of range anxiety driving one.
Omg. I didn't know the unlock/lock door handle part. Thanks for the tip. I was always thinking why they didn't put a lock unlock bottom in this car. Lol.
+Guyanneh lol yeah took me a while to find. Thanks for watching!
I like the seating position, it feels like your in the old one
Thanks for the review. We got a Level 2 charger from Juicebox. Get one and I highly recommend it!
Ive been using a JuiceBox for about 5 years. Good chargers.
Hey Greg, great vid, I just bought a used 2017 yesterday and I LOVE it. Can you tell what music you are playing in the background?
Is the 2017 Fiat 500e and the 2018 Fiat 500e the EXACT same car?? I am asking because I need a replacement for the front spoiler (the plastic piece under the grill...) but it seems like I can't find that part for the 2017 Fiat 500e anywhere... I found that part for the 2018 Fiat 500e model but I'm afraid it won't fit...
Pretty no changes to the car from my 2015 Fiat 500e besides the improved radio display. Curious. Am I eligible for those rebates even though I bought a used 2015 fiat 500e??
Have you experimented using more air pressure in the tires. I get about 30% better mileage when I double the air pressure. I drive a 2000 Honda insight. I only do this on brand new tires and when they're four years old I start letting the pressure go back closer to normal but never normal.
Great video man!!
So what do the lights tell you? Other than "where you're at"??
Nice review. Funny and informative. Thanks. Is insurance expensive? Have the tires been lasting?
Radnally tires are one of strange things - they are all same size, but wheels itself are different for front and back. So rotation is only possible side to side. Also, as it is FWD and lots of torque, front tires are wearing off much faster and inability to rotate to back, you end up replacing front tires separately
I live in Las Vegas, tell me again about how you can use the air conditioner while the car is charging and that's not a big deal, did I hear that right?
(In the summertime we can be at 110 plus for 2 week's at a time)
3 years ago, did you ever have to take it I. For service?
Nice video -and when I heard You mention Kaweah Lake, I had to smile as it was was of my favorite places when I was going to COS. Incidentally, I have the Mercedes B class electric and, aside from limited range, love it. We're in line for the Tesla 3, but may need to get something else before my lease is up in nine months.
+Mark Masi lol yeah Kaweah is so closed that I take it for granted. How long ago where you at COS? I went there 2011-2013. Also,Tesla man that is awesome! I love how innovative they are with their cars.
Greg, as I started watching this video, I’m thinking, why is this guy familiar to me? Then, when you mentioned Kaweah, I realized that I commented on your first video a year ago! Then saw that you’d responded to me way back then! Anyway, apologies for this VERY late response to your response. I went to COS way back in 75-76 (I’m old). Some of the best times of my life. Miss that version of the valley more then I can express.
Now, cars: had the B class electric for 3 years, but, as I live in Malibu, we’d use up a big bite of its range just getting into LA proper or the San Fernando Valley. So, leasing a Bolt now and am so impressed. Not the quality feel of a Benz, but the range is amazing. Bailed on the Tesla as I’d still be waiting, and really like the practicality of a hatchback.
Again, sorry for the delayed response, but happy to see you’re still out there making smart videos.
Mark
Thanks for the review... How many hrs of driving does a full charge give you?
45 to 60 minutes
How long is the battery supposed to last?
Hey thanks for the info we are going electric and we’re trying to decide if we want to do the BMW I3 or the 500eI think I might go for 500e
Timo&paco Chord I too am trying to decide between the two. Which one did you decide?
Hi Greg. Above the trunk light, there is a wire coming out from the panel. Do you know what it is for? Thanks!
Got the answer from my sales guy: it is a trunk release just in case a child get stuck in the car. It is for an emergency.
Actually, that is incorrect, it is the release for the gas filler door. Normally the filler door locks when the car is locked, but I guess they have had issues in the past (with the gas cars).The 500 models do not have an internal trunk/hatch release, it's electrical, and won't open with a dead battery.
How's your electric bill upon leasing the Fiat 500e? Did your electric bill went up dramatically?
Hi Greg,
Thanks for the video.
I live in california (valley), and im thinking of leasing this car cause it's super affordable.
However, I live in the appartment and we do not have the charging station in our parking lot... This may be a dumb question, but are there any alternatives I have? what would you recommend?:)
Thank you
500e is a tough option if you don't have the ability to charge at home. No level 3 fast charging, so level 2 (~4hrs to full) is your fastest option, meaning charging up at a public charger is a chore. There are a couple other similar EVs available at similar pricing with fast charging, I believe the spark EV is a good option. Also, in this class of electric car DEFINITELY consider financing a 3-year old model instead of leasing new. I just bought a '17 500e with under 30k miles for just over $7k, compared to $34k new. Even with the higher interest rates for a used car, payments come out a lot cheaper than a lease (plus the downpayment is actually lower than a new lease). Depreciation is huge on the cheap EV class because people are wary due to the battery issues the first gen leaf had, even though they all (including the modern leaf) have proper thermally managed batteries so it's a non-issue.
how much was your lease monthly and at the dealer?
No new updates on your 500e? I'm definitely considering one
Top Review....Can you help me for information to buy a Fiat 500e occasion and shipping to the Netherlands? Kind Regards, Mandy Jelsma
You think you'll have the 240 plug put in your garage? Have you tried to get an estimate yet?
+Gary Bowen no I don't think I will need it often enough. I don't drive that far on the daily.
Great video, I leased the 500e a month ago, what I was wondering, have you ever used a charger at a charging station? You can't really rely on that can you, how do you know if one will be available when you're almost out of charge... suggestions?
+Judy Romero I have not but I have heard that from other people who have the car. It is kind of a shot in the dark if it will be free.
Use the PlugShare app. It will tell you all that.
Greg!! I recognize those roads! That was awesome!! Starting a job with 75 miles round trip. Would you charge daily? Or...how often do you charge your car? Also...after 3 years...would you say you still love it??
Will do only about 50 miles round trip
Hello, does it gain significant mileage of power when going down hill, or just slowdown the discharrge?
Down hill will fully recharge itself.
Good & comprensiva
And like the jazz music !great!
Hi Greg, thanks for your informative videos. I am seriously considering getting a 500e and I need your advice. Should I just buy a used one? lease? I cannot afford to buy one brand new even with the CA and U.S. credits. My anxiety about buying a used one is how much battery life there is left in it. The used ones on the market right now have about 10,000-25,000 miles on it (2013-2015). And that's another thing...the prices here in CA are so low ($6500-$10000) that something in me tells me it's too good to be true. So, your thoughts?
+jose ledesma I am normally not the type of person who leases a car or thinks that is a good investment, but with all the perks that CA gives you towards the car I would highly recommend leasing the car over buying them. I have heard that their batteries last 8-10 years and that replacing there batteries cost similar to replacing an engine. So I would keep that in mind if you buy. Might be the reason for the low cost is that your going to pay a good amount to replace the batteries. Thanks for watching.
A fiat 500e just buy it You will love the car it’s so much fun and you save a lot of money by not paying for gas. A fully charge on my fiat 500e Only cost me $3 Dollars by 30days I am only paying $96 extra on my light bill that’s a big savings for the Hole month
Looking to purchase a 2017 Fiat 500e…would it be worth it or is it risky given the fact that it’s older?
The down side to my 2017 500e is that the bluetooth/Aux/USB doesn't work. :( any advise from my fellow Fiat owners would be welcomed.
When using ac or heat, what kind of real world range do you get?
Cuts it down by half of miles.
I don't know if you still own the vehicle but what I've read about and watched on TH-cam videos is that it's no longer being used by Fiat I guess it was discontinued a while back which probably by now you know anyways just want to let you know I know they sell a device that now you can use the app again that your going to have to look up on TH-cam! It's a device that you buy and hook up to your car which hooks to you the app to do the things that it was doing before it was discontinued! Which is good because I know you can schedule it to do it's charging through a 7-Day week and you can also do the heating and cooling in the car without being in it which sounds pretty nice! If you're not aware of it you should look into it hope your car still running good! That's if you still have it!
Does the AC drain a lot of battery charge? I just found your channel it's really great and funny, keep at it man
+MrWhiteSwitch yeah it does. About 10 miles down. Also thanks for watching. Appreciate it.
Really, it depends on the temperature differential. The range indicator automatically knocks of 10% as soon as you turn it on, but how it actually affects range depends on how much you blast the A/C. The range indicator is an estimate, not an absolute number.
AC doesn’t affect range much, but heater does and a lot (up to 30% range)
Enjoyed your video. Considering the Fiat 500e. How much is the lease in California?
+Kyle L I got my payment for $35 after tax and all that.
$35 a month?! What dealership in California did you lease from?
+Alex Zevallos Bakersfield but it was a deal that all of them were running at the time. It is changing all the time so just keep watching for it to drop again.
So how many miles did you drive in total and what was your speed on the road. I have a 50 mile round trip commute during the week and 80 mile round trip commute during the weekend, I can chart at my destination. I looking to get a used one, but i'm a bit hesitant with range anxiety and all. Thanks for your earlier reply. Hope you add another review in a couple months.
Gil
+gildardo I drove 39 miles when I turned around. So 78 in total. I drove 55 mph up to it on the back roads and going back I drove 65 mph on the freeway both times where on cruise control so I was getting the best mileage I could. Also I didn't run the AC. The biggest thing is the type of charger that you uses. The car comes with a charger that works off a normal 120 volt plug, but it takes around 22 hour to charge from under 10% of battery. The faster charger that run off 220 volt take, I think, 3-4 hours. So if you have that you are good and if your destination has that kind of charge then I think you would be good. But yeah the distance this thing can drive is the biggest down fall and second is the time it take to charge. If you can make those things work it is an awesome car.
That's the kind of test that I was looking for. That's a really good result for the type of driving that you did. I'll keep an eye on used car prices and hope to get a cheap one. Thanks for your detail response.
I drive 45 miles round trip daily to work. I drive pretty much at 58mph there and back on cruise control. All flat ground. If you do an 80 mile round trip you will want to be able to charge at work before leaving so that means two full charges per day. One issue is detours encountered because of accidents on the roads you always drive. If you do not plan for that you can get stuck waiting until the road opens back up because you may not have enough juice to get home. Happened to me once. It sucked. The 80mile round trip is running on the edge and after a few years you might be having range issues in the extreme cold that may prevent you from your destination just one way. I consider my commute a bit of an edgy one because of the round trip without charging up at work. In the cold it gets worse as does the super hot summers. Takes range from your battery. Don't think you will be actually doing 90 miles per charge and it also depends upon your driving habits. I drive aggressively because I like the fun factor.
Thanks for checking out my video! if you got any questions hit me up and I will do my best to answer them.
i gotta add that to things i havent done yet. 4:38 tree hugging
+gasdorfic muncher lol it was a first for me. Thanks for watching.
how do you feel about the car 3 years later?
How is the leased Fiat doing? I’m really considering the 3 year lease especially since my 2016 Fiat 500 was wrecked yesterday. Incase anyone is wondering about the safety in a head on collision, Fiat airbags protected me and that’s why I’m going with another Fiat 500.
Wow so sorry you got in an accident. Good to know about the air bags. I’m still loving it. Will be get a new one when my lease is up.
I have a 60 mile round trip commute.. will this car do it? lights on too.
Sure. Shouldn't have a problem, even with the ac on.
if you have a level 2 charger..
Three months into my three-year lease...I LOVE my Fiat 500e...the rebates here in California are a no brainer...it's like being paid thousands to drive the car. Only a couple of downfalls...I live in the mountains...the dealer is a full charge away...so more miles on a charge would be my request...and more charging stations available in my neck of the woods. Would I lease an electric Fiat again? Absolutely! It's fun to drive...puts a smile on my face driving past a gas station...PG&E, our electric company, offers reduced rates for off-peak times of electric usage...fun to try something new and different and be ahead of what others haven't discovered yet.
Sheralyn Rodriguez I’m in Cali too. Is there a tax break owning this car?
my main concern about buying this car is the lack of quick charging capabilities. did you find this to be an issue while owning it?
Not really? There is not only official support. There's unofficial support. There is an app that lets you see official chargers and unofficial chargers. Unofficial chargers are charger supplied by the community the public. So yes you might park in someone's driveway but if they're offering free level 3 charging then I'll do it
Tree hugger at 4:40 lol. That is California and I love it here
What about speed?
Picked up a couple weeks ago a 2014 Fiat 500e. The Orange and White one. Mine has what looks like Leather Seats and Sunroof. Handles like my old 62 Mini Cooper. And its electric. I drove a Nissan Leaf for 6 years so I know electric cars. I converted two. Mine has 35,800 miles and when fully charged still shows 85 miles even when cold out. Im not actually getting that but its a good start and better than the Leaf. I like the roominess in the front and will never put anyone in the rear seats. Not quite as refined as the Leaf or Tesla but I can't actually afford the Tesla or I would have picked one up. I paid cash for my 500e so no more car payments. Yeah! Nothing better than fully paid electric vehicle and a roof full of solar panels to fuel my little beastie. Power of the Sun. I hate gasoline cars. Not that I hate gasoline that much but sorta do I just can't see ever going back to gasoline. Electric is a so much better driving experience than gasoline power cars. Never drove a Tesla but got a ride in one. Drove many DIY electric car conversions. Even those are better than gasoline vehicles. If I do drive other than electric I drive turbo diesels. Overall Im pleased. Plenty of leg and head room for my 6'2" size. Time to modify a little and drop it into the weeds.
@Jerry Sullivan I still have my little Orange Skittle. I have not dropped it in the weeds yet but I do drive it daily. My commute is 45miles round trip and currently with the heat we are having the little beastie gets a solid 75 miles with the air on at least one direction from work and driving from 55 to 60 mph. The guess o meter says right now a good 85 miles but reality says more like 75. I have had one issue since I have owned the beastie. I had to replace my charge socket and I spliced in a custom aluminum socket to the original cable. That took a bit of work but it has been working flawless since I replaced that and I had to replace the plug from the charger because they got burned from the socket pins being loose. The stock plastic socket is cheap and can be an issue. If it was an issue for me Im quite sure it will be an issue for others at some point. I love the little beastie and looking at buying another used one. I wish the Nissan Leaf battery pack was as durable as this little one. Since I have not heard any different I'll stick with the Fiat 500e.
@Jerry Sullivan Just a hair over 76,000 miles at this time.
Did you lease this car in Costa Mesa?
What is the cost of 500 electric fiat kit we want to convert our fiat punto evo diesel into electric vehicle
No, buy a Fiat 500e electric. Not worth the trouble of conversion and you can't make it as well integrated as factory.
I live in Houston Texas. There is simply no way you can run your car without AC. However, I would be using the car exclusively in the city, and spending a great deal of time in the traffic jams. Which I hear is good for autonomy. I heard that in slow moving traffic the 500e autonomy goes way beyond 100 miles. Is this your experience?
Pisk Six I live in Houston Texas and I drive around 50 miles round trip with my 2015 Fiat 500e. I do have a heavy foot when I drive. When I turn on the a/c it takes away an automatic 10 miles off. Giving me around 80 miles to use. I do take the highway to work and I get there with 46 miles left on it. Then when I leave I am in MAJOR MAJOR traffic, stopping and going and it does good in the traffic because it regenerates power when I use the brakes or let go of the “gas”. I usually have about 29 - 25 miles left in it when I get home. I have a 240v charger at home so it charges fast. When I use the heater that takes away sooooo much more power out of the car. So I just use the seat warmers to keep warm while I get to work and driving home. That works for me. In Houston we don’t get cold weather that much. Otherwise I LOVE MY CAR!!!! But I am willing to sell it if anyone is interested in buying it. Respond to this post and send me a message or your email if someone may be interested.
Hi Greg. Great Video! How big of an increase did you see on your electric bill?
I would say about $25-$30 increase in my electric bill. For reference I used to spend $50-$60 dollars a month in gas in my other car. But, it was an older car that did not get great gas mileage either.
Thanks, sounds reasonable, best regards!
i usally drive 10 ten dollars week on gas car (now in the city dump)
fiat 500e i am going about 40 miles week for 5 weeks i spend 10 dollars on my electic bill extra. 200miles month for 10 dollars ?
Just received my first electric bill that includes new charges for EV usage. It only went up approximately $15 for 600 miles of pure driving enjoyment!
You can get these for under $8K with less than 30K miles, but what about battery degradation, is the battery going to lose it's 80 mile range once it goes beyond 50,000
on the odometer?
No, and you can't get them for 8K anymore. I'm on 79k miles
Time for another update?
Bro you earned a subscriper cuz you're funny af👌🤣
I got the car this pass Saturday. I really like how it zips around. I was hoping that you would show how you connect it to the app Uconnect which shows a better estimate of charging the car and what level the car is charged at.
+Alliance of Reason are you saying that you don't know how to connect the app to the car? I can send you the link of how I did it if you need it. But my app and car do not work well with one another. Which really is not that big of a deal in my eyes. It's like a person crying that their free pizza doesn't have all their favorite toppings lol.
That would be cool. I was trying to connect to that Uconnect app. I just wanna check it out.
+Alliance of Reason well I can't find out where I learned how to do it. So I'll post a video on it in a bit.
awesome!
dude I am so stupid. I was just finishing the video when I reread your comment and you were asking about the Uconnect app. which I do not know how to connect too. so sorry man. I thought you meant the app I was showing, which is much easier to get into. Sorry man.
What tax rebates did you get on this?
Actually, the "trunk" of the 500e DOES hold everything I need, I just don't' shop (overshop) at Costco. And as you said, the seats fold down.Also, you are using the wrong app. The 500e app was replaced by the Uconnect app, and it is much better about updates. Since you are leasing, you won't run into my gripe with it: Fiat only supports it for 3 years, and no option to extend.
are you gonna post the king tut video
Yup will be out soon.
How come she never bought a level two charger for your house
Thanks for the Vid, how much is your car insurance ?
Allan Cuadra I pay 523 for 6 months for full coverage and 500 deductible. Similar to my other gas car
THE problem is the range ! I miss my fiat 500 e
How many miles have you gone on that trip?
+pyliuxas 78 miles.
Did the app ever start working?
+Zach Hanna I was not able to get it to work.
I want one now
great video Greg. I leased one 2 days ago and love it. my question is : I drive 50 miles per day, half freeway and half city , no charging station at work, with the ac on, do you think I can make it? I get off work around midnigt, don't want to find a charging station at downtown LA.
+John Teng hey John. Thanks for checking out my video. I would think that it could make that drive. When I drive with my AC on it drops it's distance down 8-10 miles which make the range more like 70 miles. That is also assuming you not hauling down the freeway. This car punishes a heavy foot. Lol. So I assume you would be good. If it is getting tight on energy you could alway turn the AC off, but I know that would suck. The only think that I would say also is that your charge time might take too long on the standard charger for you to make that trip on the daily, unless you have the 220 charger, then you're golden.
Thanks Greg, I think I will drive my Scion tc to work twice a week, so 500e will be fully charged. Hey, keep up the good work, thanks again.
John Teng 50 miles round trip shouldn't be any trouble.
Thanks.
@@thatgregsvlog449 pro tip: the included charger is actually a 120/240 input voltage unit. With an adapter It'll run happily on a 240v dryer socket and give a full charge in just over 8 hours.
i just went into the fiat dealership and test drove this car..... i just learned about 8 things about this car i did not know that u told me about... i did not know there was a app.... to bad it doesn't work.... the mirror button ... and the lights on the dash.. in my test drive... i felt there was alot alot alot of road noise...im not sure if it was the tires or road but there was alot of noise... and that was all i had to say bad about it.... still not likein the colors..... i think ill have to go with the red
Just saw this now: If the car you test drove had Firestone Firehawk GT tires, then yes, it was the tires that made the ride noisy.
I bought a set of Nexen tires from Wal-Mart for $160.00. They are very quiet. I have about 10K on them with no problems. I have a 2015 500e.
How many hours you can drive with full charge?
probably 1.5hrs
Less than an hour at 74mph, 55 mile, much farther & longer at 45mph.
So cute
I appreciate your comments on the Fiat 500e. Thanks. Listen, I watch a lot of youtube stuff and the main appeal is in being able to see things.. you did not show us the car man.. really. After the first few seconds we know what you look like. Turn you camera on the car!
+Steve McCormack thanks for advice . I don't do a lot of reviews and my channel really is not a review channel, but will keep that in mind with anything else I might review. Thanks for watching.
These are super cheap on the used market now. I can pick one up with less than 25K miles for under $7K.
Is it more expensive because it's electric
+Allan Cuadra car insurance went up for me because I was covering a $3,000 car and now at covering a $30,000 dollar car haha. But it doesn't cost more because of electric or anything like that. Also leasing requires higher coverage. So our insurance went up $40ish. Which is more than my payment lol. Thanks for watching
20 houts to charge? Why not get 240v chrging? You will appreciate it and be able to use the vehicle everyday.
+jeffrey kloth I am planning on it I normally don’t need to worry about it because I work 5mins way from where I live but this week I have been using it a lot more and will probably put one in. Thanks for watching!
I think you will enjoy 240v. I bought a 2015 Spark EV over the Fiat and I am loving it...
Haven't seen it around here to know just how small it is. My biggest issue with being low to the ground is guys always pulling up next to me in trucks and suv's and looking down my shirt. An occasional peek, I wouldnt mind, but it happens at every single light when I drive the Vette. Might as well just flash my tits at every light as a preemptive strike...
Can’t say that is an issue I have lol. The car doesn’t sit super low but it is not suv or truck obviously. Thanks for watching
I'm good with that DB ... FIAT sits higher than the 'vette; like an EcoSport.
My opinion is regardless of the situation, you're not walking, nor are you paying UBER or even worse begging a friend for a ride. The worst of it all. The bus. The Fiat 500E will always look better than those situations.
by time your lease is up Fiat might have their mild hybrid out
+2lazeblue yeah it is a fun little car. I have not heard about the mild hybrid I'll have to check it out.
2lazeblue fiat never make hybrid the regular are same range as hybrid so no point to make hybrid.
bigusiak they are developing a system to keep the electronics going, instead of using an alternator. this will improve gas milage, it's already in use the 48 volt
the greatest thing about electric cars is if you live at extremely high elevation then you can run with what is considered very powerful cars at sea level, mine at 95 percent charge will run with a srt8 challenger at 5 k feet elevation from 0 to 40 mph yes it has been tried, it feels like it loses 30 hp at 25 percent battery, these abarth tires are not holding up well, 3500 miles and they have less than half life left but it sure grips much better than those stock goobers. at full charge i can still roast these tires with traction off.
+z guyee man lol that is awesome
DOWNLOAD THE UCONNECT APP
DELETE THE FIAT APP
UCONNECT Sucks.
The fiat 500e is the best EV car to buy and it’s cheap price you can’t pass by I got one for my wife and we both love ❤️ it so much we saving a lot on gas. We got are fiat 500e for $16k with 32k miles on it we came up on this lil car an all my family ones to buy one too… compare of buying a Tesla for 50k you will save alot with the 500E but Try your best to find a newer fiat 500e with low mileage Like that the car can Iast you 5 to 8 years Before replacing the batteries 🪫 But even if you can pay 3 to 4000 get the batteries replaced and the car will last another 8 to 10 years it’s worth the money
Battery will probably last more than 8 years, I'm 7 years on mine no signs of significant degradation. A battery would cost more than $4,000, maybe someday we can get used batteries in from a third party shop maybe even an upgrade.
20 hours to full charge? wow, nothing quick? what if you need the car
You can get a faster charger that does it in 3-4 hours from 0. Just cost around $400 and need a 220V outlet.
thanks for the quick response man, great video, so maximun range on the car is 84 miles?
On average yeah. Also depends on how you drive.
That Greg's Vlog won’t that wear down the battery though because it’s a higher charge?
I have a 13. I cant stand the drink holders!!!! grrrr the rear wing is too short.... mist on the car or rain and it drips right in the middle of the dam rear window. The intermittent wiper only has one setting....grrrr my dam 2003 truck has 5! I put in a rear seat elimination kit I now have a HUGE trunk. I wish someone would offer a newer battery pack. It can be up to double the range! Big hole where the spare tire was wish there was an optional range extender. I installed a level 2 charger never more than 3.5 hours to full charge.
...starts review around 1:55.
Funny because this version doesn't exist in Italy
the app I believe you need to subscribe. I'm pretty sure.
The app is dead you can't revive it for any price
my fiat app works way better than this, i wonder if the signal is lost in your garage.
+z guyee man I am not sure it would have to be my area because when I am at work it has the same problem. So would be a problem with my area which is still a problem. I wish is worked because it has a lot of potential. But, like I said still love the car.
z guyee man I have the same poor experience with the App. It updates at random times but usually is not current. Also I've never been able to unlock the car or honk the horn with the app it says request sent but the car doesn't respond.
Delete the 500e app, and install the Uconnect app. It works much better.
u opened trunk and then didn't show it. smh
And see that's the difference between Fiat owners and Tesla owners. When Tesla owners don't like a feature that's not working properly they let it be known and Tesla addresses the issue on a bi-annual update. Fiat people are more like oh this doesn't work. Just ignore it. No, no, no. You complain to Fiat so they can address it and improve the overall experience. Don't think for a moment Fiat is not interested in what customers have to say.
500e is a California Compliant vehicle and not likely that they will listen too hard for the few that own a Fiat 500e. Sucks but that is one of the down sides. The other side is that I'm hunting for a motor/inverter from a wrecked one so we can retrofit a DIY inverter computer board to over ride the stock and maybe even use a different power section so we can pump up the amperage to make these little beasties little rockets.
This guy reminds me of half the reasons I left Seattle.
lmao im a real meji canaaaa lmao omg
Stopped watching after the mirror button thing around 3:20 minutes. I wanted a car review and this technology has been in cars for literally 15 years or more.
mmk but did he not review the car tho? what a stupid reason to stop watching
This video was about him and not the car. We want acceleration video, time video, is ac on, why do you play music when you are driving the car. We want to hear the car not your jams.
Don’t get high before you make an updated review. Also, embrace green. Total waste of my time. Sorry bro
