FIAT 500e CAB - MORE THAN JUST FOR FUN

The Fiat 500e CAB is a great little EV, whose immediate competitors are the Honda e and the Mini Cooper SE.
But the Fiat has a much larger battery than its competitors, and thus also a much more usable range.
In this video I test how it DC charges, how it accelerates and tell more about the car's qualities and challenges

Wonderful. TH-cam gave me a Danish language advert during the acceleration section.

Excellent video. I have almost watched every video about 500e on TH-cam as I’m planning to buy one for my wife and your 10-minute video had stuff I had not seen before. Also, God knows how happy I am to hear the stats in the metric system! Subscribed and hoping to see more reviews.

Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately, it's not every week that I get the opportunity to make an English version of my videos for this channel.
My main focus is my Danish channel (Biler.TV) where my content also often stands out by being more nerdy than the regular car channel.

This is a great channel. Just watched a few of your videos. Subscribed. Hope to see some Danish Winter tests :) I'll be coming back from Australia to Scandinavia in the next few weeks. Can't wait to get back to the cold. This heat is intense :)

Thank you very much my friend. I am a full-time Danish TH-camr, but in recent months I have not had the time to also upload in English to this channel. But I want to…

great video. One comment I have is that you should have reviewed the normal (non-cabrio) version. I have seen lots of these cars in the UK over the last year and not a single one was Cabrio. So this review does not really reflect the typical 500e people would buy. You should always review the most common models that people buy (e.g. the noise comments). We purchased the LaPrima about 6 months ago and it is true we can get 200 miles range (320m) but that is in city driving (most city roads here are 30mph) and in spring summer etc where no need to AC or heating. In winter, the range drops by about 30% I'd say, especially with heating on. It is still much better than competition like Honda E or Mini E, which have a ridiculous range - no car in 2023 should be sold with such a small range like Honda E or Mini E. It is worth noting that 500e is designed from scratch by Fiat and there is absolutely nothing in common with the ICE version other than similar looks, though the 500e is taller and longer quite a bit. Final comment, the build quality of 500e is outstanding, far better then most competition. But overall fantastic video, well done.

Thanks for the inputs. The CAB version is very Common here in Denmark 😊

[@enigma01011]

@@jimirosa have the cab version in the same great colour a bit more sober, 16 inch alloy wheels and total free of chrome (what many like). It's the only elektric cabrio for as far as I know thus testing that makes te brand stand out even more. The initial 500 didn't have a solid roof either due to shortness on steel supplies and costs so the "real" 500 driver drives....a cabrio :) And it is so more fun than the dull berlina everyone sells berlina's brr.

Nice video.

Thanks for watching 🙏😊

I am still reluctant to consider FIAT after 4 of their cars compared to 4 Toyota's. Build quality way better in the Japanese cars

[@jimirosa]

Japanese cars have always had a reputation for being as stable as safes. But Italian cars have a reputation for being more fun…
Thanks for watching

[@astra-rb6sz]

I’ve just bought one of these over the Toyota it’s much better by far..

[@BoopSnoot]

Much too expensive, a Fiat 500 should be $25K tops.

[@jimirosa]

In Denmark prices flucturate alot…
