2015 Fiat 500e Road Test Review - Communities Digital News
LOS ANGELES, March 1, 2015 — Now expanded into Oregon (along with California) markets, the 2015 Fiat 500e electric vehicle (EV) is perhaps the almost perfect zero emissions car in North America. Come along on a star-studded week-long road test in LA’s Hollywood Hills of an Abarth-style slate gray-and-bright orange 500e. Fiat has finally made its third generation, award-winning 2015 Fiat 500e available in its “studios” (aka dealerships) in... And that’s a very good thing because the all-electric model of Fiat’s classic mini Cinquecento (the Italian word for 500 and its nickname since the 40s) Euro car is fast and gets an astonishing EPA-tested 87 miles on a full charge (or 108 MPGe). In fact, Fiat claims its 2015 500e has almost a 100-mile range in urban environment as the car’s regenerative braking system adds to its range capacity in stop-and-go traffic. Fiat claims some Californians could come away with a 2015 Fiat 500e “for as low as $20,600, after federal credits, state incentives and FIAT rebates. If you need to go on a long road trip, which extends way past your 500e’s driving range, it’s no problem as Fiat has a plan for that. It owns Enterprise Rent-A-Car and in addition, it has partnered with Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental to offer the Fiat 500e “pass program. ” Anyone who leases a 2015 Fiat 500e gets up to 12 days of “alternative transportation each year for the first three years after the date of purchase,” so says Fiat.
