The original 500e was a compliance car that lost Fiat $14,000 per sale and shared a motor with the Porsche 918. The new one doesn't feel all too different.
In 2012, the world of electrified vehicles was very different. Fisker was manufacturing its well-designed but poorly received car. Aptera was struggling to sell people on its weirdly shaped electric three-wheeled vehicle. And Fiat was about to begin selling an electric version of its iconic 500. A dozen years later all those names are still around.
The charging has also improved, adding much-needed DC fast charging. At 85 kW, it's nothing to brag about, but it will get you from 0 to 80 percent battery in just over half an hour. Stellantis has stated its intention to move to the NACS charging standard, becoming the last major car company to do so. For now, however, the car gets a CCS charge port, which feels a little behind the curve.Most of the technology on the car feels like this: not really dated, but not exactly new.
