Fiat 500 e: Good value for money and low costs in the ADAC Eco Test
The Fiat 500 Electric received good marks in the recent electric car test conducted by ADAC. The automobile club evaluated three model versions of the environmentally friendly Italian car in the "small cars" vehicle class. The Fiat 500 Electric RED with a 23.8 kWh battery received a rating of 1.9 in the "Costs" category and 2.2 in "Price/Performance." The Fiat 500 Electric La Prima with a larger battery (42 kWh) scored a 2.3 in both categories. ADAC testers were most impressed by the Fiat 500C Electric Convertible in the ICON trim with a 42 kWh battery: this model received a rating of 1.8 in "Costs" and 2.1 in "Price/Performance." No other vehicle in the "small cars" and "small" classes was rated higher in these two points.
Overall, the ADAC thus attested the Fiat 500 Electric especially a good price-performance ratio. The automobile club experts, who examined a total of 90 vehicle models with electric drive, also certified "a lot of driving fun."
The manufacturer differentiates its first electric model in three body versions: as a two-door sedan with a hatchback, as a convertible with an electric fabric roof, and in the 3+1 variant with a second door on the passenger side for more comfort for the rear seat row. Depending on the equipment line, the Fiat 500 offers electric batteries with capacities of 23.8 or 42 kWh, as well as two power levels with 70 kW (95 hp) or 87 kW (118 hp) to choose from.
