2016 Fiat 500e

Supposedly costing Sergio Marchionne's FCA $14,000 with each transaction, the Fiat 500e was FCA's concession to California, who required the sale of an electric car from all automakers wishing to sell in the state. As new, the 500e was priced at nearly $44,000, before tax incentives. Even taking the incentives into account, it would be surprising if any owners broke even, financially.

As with most modern Fiat models, keen buyers should look toward the used market, where deals abound. Our personal 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth was quite the deal at less than $9,000 for a fully-optioned sub-40k mile car with some warranty left on it. Similar deals can be found on these 500e's. At close to $10k, the 84k range from the 24 kWh battery pack starts to make more sense for those with reasonable commutes.

The car will reportedly charge to full battery in 4 hours when using 240V charging, though 120V charging requires a full day to top off the battery from empty. And, with the 111hp electric motor, drivers might not see the full 84 miles of range, as lead-footing it will surely reduce potential range. Acceleration numbers from the magazines are healthy enough, but the 88mph top speed might not cut it for some of you readers.

We like the light blue paint, and the eSport wheels on this example. The updated gauge cluster and infotainment system are welcome upgrades from our personal Abarth too. Will we trade our Abarth for one of these? That depends on a number of factors, but we won't count out the possibility. If we do, we'll find one just like this one, but with a moonroof!

  1. I’m sorry but I find it hard to reconcile an 84 mile range with a ten grand price. Maybe I’m just too practical

  2. No, you’re definitely not in danger of being practical. A Tesla Model 3 has 240 miles of range for $44k. That’s 55 miles per $10k, which is less than what the Fiat offers. Most people drive less than 84 miles a day.
