- 2016 Fiat 500e Review. If you are in the market to buy a used city driving EV , the Fiat 500e may be an option for you. The 2016 has a combined city/highway of 112 MPGe and an EPA of 84 miles. It charges using the J-connector and can only charge using level 1 and level 2 chargers. I take the car out for a drive and see how easy it is to park.

I bought my baby girl (a Black Fiat 500e) 2015 for $5k and 33miles. My dream car has been a Fiat 500e actually. I love how Fiats always looked and I always wanted an electric car rather than gas. I am 5’8 and fit perfectly. The fiat is pretty spacious for the driver and the passenger, I don’t use the back seats to carry anybody but some stuffed animals. Mostly it’s just me or me and my fiancé in the weekend. Lack of mileage is for sure a turn off especially because my college is 30 mins (highway) away from my house, so my car does get low pretty easily and my college only has a few EV chargers but for me, I take this as a learning curve. My dream has always been this car and I rather deal with this then to have it another way. My car doesn’t squeal when I go 0-50, but she does go pretty quick. My fiancé’s car is a Nissan Versa and even his car accerlates slower than my baby girl. I love my Fiat 500e !!!! Thankfully she’s my first car but I’m sure folks who transition from gas to electric will always “struggle” initially with finding charging stations around, mileage, etc but i think it’s worth it. Baby girl is supper safe I would say! She doesn’t move too much when there wind, smooth ride and smooth turns, doesn’t move when she’s driving near those huge shipping trucks. And this is probably because of the regenerative braking or maybe not, but she brakes sooo smoothly. But yes Fiat 500e are good commuter cars especially if ur are single or a couple. Definitely not very family friendly or even a car to drive with ur friends around. But a good monday-Friday car for people interested!
You got a great deal!
So in a full charge when you go to your 30min away collage how much charge do you have left? And how much would you say you have left if you drive with the heater on?
I wish mine was that cheap! Bought mine used yesterday with 40k miles for 11k!
@@danielhh47 , buying a 2017 tomorrow for $11,000 with the sport edition and 19,000 miles. Paying $1500 to ship from California to PA though.
Love my Fiat 500e, Easy to drive, easy to park, easy to charge. A lot of people think it's a gasoline car.
Beat many gasoline cars and they looked shocked that this little car beat them. Love that it's stealth that way. :)
I have had a 2013 model for 2,5 years and I must say that it's my alltime favorite car. It's small and zippy just as you describe it and it is so sexy and nimble that I don't actually think anything out there compares. I live in a very cold country so range can be a problem in the wintertime but even though it handles cold weather very poorly in terms of range it gives more than enough back when the summer comes and the sunroof opens up and the zippyness and the tiresqueeling (caused by the completely overpowered engine) creates california wherever you are. I give it a 11 out of 10 and would seriously recommend it to anyone that don't really need range. Hands down the best investment when it comes to bang for your bucks on small, compact EV for commuting and/or joyriding. The best car purchase of my life.
Do you have any social media with your car on it?? Please share it with us!!!
I want one! What's kept me from getting one is that the residual value of my 2012 Volvo S60 is quite low and this 2017 Fiat 500e is still a novelty in Costa Rica, my country of birth, and has kept its value rather well!
I bought a 2016 fiat 500 e. I drive it everyday. I don’t drive far so it’s the best. I get 80 miles range. I set up a charger in my garage. I just love everything about this car.
I really like the Fiat 500e. It gets a lot of flak for being a compliance car, but has been one of the few used EVs one could consistently buy for under $10,000 for a couple of years now. It would be ideal for my daily commute and is definitely on my list. :-)
Excellent video and overview! This is my exact car - a 2016 Fiat 500e, and even the same color. This car is awesome. You hit on a lot of good points about it. One thing, when you take your foot off accelerator, just wanted to mention that it actually does engage gentle regenerative braking - but only up to 5Kwh but still helpful. The car is super cute, and so are you by the way :)
Got my 2017 a little over year ago for $8300 out the door with 32k miles on it. My commute is exactly 25 miles each way and I can charge at my workplace for 1$ a day. It's cheaper to charge at work than my home, so I do a full round trip home and recharge at work. I work a 4 day on 4 day off schedule....just commuting to work (not including errands and weekend driving), this car will pay itself off in just what I'll be saving in gas in under 3 years of ownership....factoring in Living in the bay area gas prices.
Have zero regrets owning this car. Aside from the savings, it is an absolute blast to drive! PS- you can remove the storage tray in the trunk floor which unlocks a significant amount more of space.
Just got my 2017 a month ago and yeah, Los Angeles area gas prices are in the $5-$7 range. Ridiculous when most of my driving is less that 2miles with a possible 20-mile jaunt to work every now and then. This lil pocket rocket is a blast
Nice review!
The good thing is that it’s not a “Fix It Again, Tony” car because of the Bosch, water cooled battery.
The stock wheels and tires suck and are in my storage shed. I have a 2017 and changed to 17 X 7 Sparco wheels (Abarth weight) and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. The suspension is pretty stiff to support the battery weight so inadvertently it becomes great fun to drive. Lost about 7% range (probably driving like a nut doesn’t help because it is so fun) but worth it. People in expensive cars get really mad when you hook up and kick the crap out of them at stop lights in a FIAT.
This is a great review. I’ve watched several and yours was the most thorough. Thank You!
great review as always. maybe you could do a video on one-pedal driving showing us how it works and why it's so good, or not so good. keep up the great content
Great Video!
You hit on a couple things I didn't know about this car.
Thank you for the information.
I'll watch this a couple more times and will be looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks again. 👍
I'm currently looking into a 2017 500e, and found your video very informative especially regarding regenerate breaking.
Great review. Hit on points not usually discussed in other videos. 👍🏽
Hi! Love your channel. Keep up the good reviews!
Great review and presentation style. Keep up the good work.
Great city car. I’ve a Pearl White 2017 500e with sunroof imported from the USA.
Great video again as always 👍🏻👌🏻🚗🔋👏
nice review..great car for just getting around town
i wish we could get more cars like this in the United States. arg!!!
By the best review video. Thank you.
The car comes with low friction tires 🛞 for better mileage so they slip. However, it’s programmed not to engage full power until already rolling to avoid that.
Awesome review 👍🏽
I love my 2016 Electric Orange Fiat 500e.... Feels like I’m driving a go-kart.
How has the reliability been? Issues?
@@willaerley7140 the only issue I had was the original 12 volt battery dying.... the same happened to my BMW i3.
I would recommend you change the 12 volt battery every 3 years on any EV.
I want so bad an orange with white interior!!!!!! I'll definetly get one like this, I reject buy one in a very good price b/c wasn't orange XD
I've also replaced battery on my 500e and my BMW i3, both last about 3 years. BMW battery is harder to get to and computer needs to be reset $300 from dealer, Fiat - replace just like any other battery, cheaper and easier.
Nice review!
Legal mandate not political mandate.
Freeway range @ 70+mph is 45 or 50 miles.
Ignore the range estimator go by battery percentage.
Is seat heaters instead of cabin heat to maximize winter range.
AC doesn't hurt range that much when used in moderation.
It look like she actually fits in that back seat.
Nice review. I am currently looking at used 500e's. Didn't understand the pedestrian speaker function.
Today, it is about July 1, 2023. I can't find any Fiat 500e's for about $6,500 in the USA. I did find a 2017 with 19,000 miles selling for 11,000 with the sport edition. Hopefully, I pay for it tomorrow, but I have to pay $1200 to ship it from PA from California. There is a $4000 Federal Tax Credit for used electric cars these days, but I can't use, because of retirement.
We just bought a 2019 in the same color. We had a new 2014 we leased for 2 years however the buy out after the lease was too high. We loved the other one we had. It’s the perfect little car for driving around town. And it definitely is roomy in front for such a tiny car.
Nice review. One minor comment is in the US there is no such thing as Level 3 charging, it's L1, L2, and DCFC. In Europe, some people have a three phase AC plug which charges fairly fast around 20kw but not quite DCFC speed.
Currently between this and a b250e. The 500e absolutely adorable, but it’s quite small, and the luxury and quality of the b250e tempts me. They’re quite the opposite car from each other, but I know that whichever I do decide to get, I will love
Nice review
Nice video, as always. If I found a later model 500e in decent shape I would snap it up. One concern though, would be battery degradation. That might be an issue in an older model?
There has been substantial discussions on battery degradation on these fiats, and the engineering team did an excellent job on preserving the battery life on these. The battery loss on the earliest year (2013) have been negligible. One of the upsides to not having a "fast charging" set up is it reduces a lot of stress that gets placed on the battery charging cycle. A standard L2 charger can charge these in about 4 hours from zero, which has been plenty fast for 99.8% of my time of ownership
thanks very clear and informative - I am wanting a used one - this was fun to watch!
Love it!
i think you are a movie star
City Car that's what it is !!! 🤓👍
I plan to get a used one for my daughter one day 🙂
If only it had greater range it would be the perfect EV.
Nice car
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
? on Zero battery ie emtpy battery, how long could it take to get back to a full charge using a Public charging station in Las Vegas? and is that likely
going to remain the fastest method for the foreseeable future? (P.S. what is the point of a ''public speaker'' for a car ?)
3hr 45min on level 2 220v ac charging, public or have one installed on house. Charges very slowly on level 1 110v AC. I used to charge on 110 at work it was enough to get me home.
Speaker is to warn pedestrians since there's no engine noise.
I expect to hear the engine fire up every time you turn the key
I found it amusing that she held the key as if waiting for the engine to turn over. It’s really just switching it to “on”.
Fast charge or a range extender would of sold me but I’ll pass.
What's up with the outside speaker? You gotta push a button for it? Do they all have that. Super weird.
@@CallasEV what. Thats silly. What models have that.
The noise maker speaker is always on when it's in drive, no button, changes pitch with speed cuts off at about 40.
@@robertpryor7225 I guess that's fine as long as I don't hear it as the driver.
It’s a safety feature for pedestrians
Looks like a good car for scooting around the city or driving clowns around the big top. 😄 Ask the Porsche dealer if you can test drive a Taycan. That’d be awesome.
After having previous experience with FCA quality, I would rather lay down across busy railway tracks than own another one.
They seem to be going strong after 8ish years. The Chevy Bolt is far better for an only car, but for a second car the Fiat's way more fun than a Smart or similar.
Doit
The 500e is not available new in the US. The best-selling EV in Europe, the Volkswagen 1d3, is not available in the US. The 2nd best-selling EV in Europe, the Renault Zoe, is not available in the US. Volkswagen eUp and electric Golf, Peugeot 208 electric, not available new in the US. Overall I think about 6 of the European top 10-selling EV's are not for sale in the US, plus many other EV's just below the top 10. Detroit execs say that Americans only want SUV's. Is that true, or are SUV's pretty much the only option we're being given, because the profit per vehicle is much higher on an SUV than a city car?
Yes.
Pithiness aside you'd probably like this explanation better: th-cam.com/video/orkblTFNt1Q/w-d-xo.html
There is a hydraulic handbrake! Well worth it imho :)
You do great car reviews, IMO 2 door cars should not have rear seats, just extra cargo area. 100 mile cars could be great for urban use and much less expensive but I doubt Americans will accept that idea.
I test drove one of these and an eGolf after driving a Bolt, I was not impressed by either and ended up going with the Bolt.
If I had tried the Fiat first I probably would've been more impressed with its power, but after the Bolt it was kinda meh. It reminded me of my first car: a 1986 Subaru GL hatchback*, tiny and underpowered. But the Fiat doesn't even have 4wd. The eGolf was slightly better than the Fiat, you could at least put adults in the back of it. The Fiat was ~$7k and the eGolf was ~$10k.
Eventually it was that ~80 mile range that really killed it for me. If it's a second car then you can get away with that little, but it would've been my only car so I couldn't.
I ended up getting a 2017 Bolt Premier for $16k from a private seller. I've loved it so far.
*With that hi/lo 4wd it was an absolute demon in the snow, I loved that car and rode it hard till the transmission fell out of it. If/when Subaru makes an EV that isn't a giant crossover or similar I will certainly be looking hard at it. Something like a WRX, Impreza or smaller would be neat.
Fine for local driving, but is crippled for any long distance driving because no DCFC.

Car needs traction control or better programming of torque delivery.
It'd be nice if someone could reprogram the computer, it will never happen
Please do not use mpge. Use miles/kWh or km/kWh or Wh/mile or Wh/km. Ideally, use kWh /100 miles or kWh /100 km as these are much more meaningful measures. Mpge makes no sense.
I do not believe it translates as you don’t put gasoline in an EV. The EPA needs to stop using it, too. If you know the battery size (kWh) then miles/kWh or km/ kWh makes much more sense.
I prefer miles per kWh, at least now that I've driven my Bolt for a few months and understand it. For someone that's new to EVs even though it's a rough estimate MPGE is useful to compare with ICE cars.
I can brag that coming home from the mountains I got about 250 miles per gallon in a car that goes 0-60 in about six seconds and that makes people want to at least check out EVs. If instead I told them that I got 7 miles per kilowatt hour and that I can regenerate at 50kW while coasting down the mountain most of them would just smile and nod as their eyes glazed over.
what an ugly car
You are absolutely gorgeous...
