Fiat 500e - Electric

Fiat has also announced the electric version of their 500; called the 500e. It has a 24kWh pack, and about an 80 mile (EPA) range, but you could see 100 miles or more. The motor is 83kW (111HP and 147ft/lbs torque), and it has a decent looking Kammback and a smaller front grill than the ICE version, it appears. The wheel (covers?) look to be fairly low drag, too.

This car slots in between the Smart Electric Drive (2 seats) and the Spark EV (4 seats) with a 2+2; since the rear seat is really small and probably only suited for kids.

No word on price as of yet; but hopefully it is close to the $25,000 Smart Electric Drive.
