The 500e drives nicely, but Fiat's asking a lot of money for a car that can only go 149 miles.
I was surprised when I got the invitation to Miami. Generally, I can tell a lot about what a company wants to convey about a car based on where it chooses to host the first drive. BMW hosted its i5 launch in Portugal, near its largest software provider and some incredible roads. Rivian invited journalists to its crucial Normal, IL factory for the dual-motor R1. Those made sense.
The more interesting part of the Fiat 500e’s driving experience is its driving modes. There are three modes: Normal, Range, and Sherpa. In Normal mode, the 500e feels like any other ICE or electric vehicle. Range mode is like normal mode, but with one-pedal driving. Yet the most intriguing mode is Sherpa. In Sherpa mode, the accelerator pedal responsiveness is turned all the way down.
