[USA] Fiat 500e 2013

[Pandino]

IMHO un eventuale restyling/evoluzione della 5oo dovrebbe prendere spunto esteticamente da questa versione....

Noooo!

Carry-over pubblicitario!!!

Ottima idea.

Signore e Signori la crisi ecomonica si fa sentire anche per gli spot pubblicitari e quindi si fa carryover anche qua (tanto in America nessuno se ne accorgerà visto che l'Ypsilon non è commercializzata).

Comunque trovo che lo spot per la 500e sia più adatto e soprattutto ha più senso, l'aggiunta del personaggio maschile lo rende pure simpatico.

Mentre quello in versione Lancia risulta un po' snob-antipatico.

P.S. alcune scene sono praticamente identiche quindi che abbiano solo elaborato il video togliento la Ypsilon e hanno messo la 500e o hanno girato gli spot lo stesso giorno nella stessa location?

2013 Fiat 500E EV

There's much more to the fully electric 500 than the driving.

Would you consider an electric car if your lease cost were $999 down and $199 per month for 36 months? And if the dealership had a special hotline you could call to untangle confusion regarding costs, incentives, and more? What if, each year of your lease, you received 12 days’ use of a gas-powered car? And if there were a smartphone app that could communicate the vehicle’s charge level, control charging, help find charging stations, and heat or cool your car while it was still plugged in? Suppose that electric car drove very much like its gasoline counterpart except quieter? And honestly, do you drive more than 87 miles each day? If this sounds peachy—and you live in California—Fiat has an electric 500E waiting with your name on it.

Get Down with the Down Low

The 2013 500E moves under the power of a three-phase AC synchronous motor that delivers 111 horses and 147 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels via a single-speed transmission. Energy is stored in a 642-pound, liquid-cooled (and heated), 24-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that lives under the floor between the side rails. The flat pack stretches from the front seats to 10 inches shy of the rear bumper.

One could make the case that Bosch deserves a badge on this car, as the firm provides the battery (cells by Samsung), the battery packaging, the management software, the electric motor, and the regenerative braking system. Fiat calls the braking fully blended, so that, when you’re coasting or braking, the motor is recovering every electron possible and shoving it back into the battery. This only lessens when the battery is full or if the car is traveling slower than 8 mph. At that point, the car reverts to conventional friction braking. The regen also shuts off during full-ABS panic stops.

Overall weight gain stands at some 600 pounds over a regular 500, which places the 500E dangerously close to the 3000-pound mark. It was this extra poundage that motivated engineers to use the flattened battery shape to mount the pack down low in the car, where the weight is less deleterious to handling. There are other alterations, including a reworked body structure that is said to be 10 percent more rigid, much stiffer springs, and a heavy-duty rear axle shared with the hotted-up 500 Abarth. The 500E rides on 15-inch Firestone Firehawk GT low-rolling-resistance tires.

The regular Fiat 500’s top-level Lounge trim provides a guide to the 500E’s equipment, which includes automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, USB and iPod connectivity, a stand-alone TomTom navigation unit, and heated front seats. Besides choosing your exterior color from among black, white, gray, silver, and Arancio Electrico (shockingly bright orange), the only notable option is an e-Sport package that adds black trim for the headlamps, taillamps, and turn signals; orange side-mirror caps; orange side graphics; and staggered-width 15-inch black-and-orange wheels.

How It’s Different

All this is applied to a 500 that has been tweaked aesthetically from the standard model. Although aerodynamic efficiency was the first priority, the result just might be cuter than the original. Fiat designers spent 140 hours in the wind tunnel, often with clay and trowel in hand, cutting drag by a claimed 13 percent and interior sound levels by 20 percent. The reshaping served to boost highway-speed range by about five miles, the company says. New stuff includes the front and rear lower fascias, the wheels, the rear spoiler, the side sills, and the mirror caps. Fiat used adjectives such as “aggressive,” “athletic,” and “masculine” when describing the 500E, words rarely heard around electric cars. Or any Fiat 500 this side of an Abarth, for that matter.

Fiat 500 owners will spot a few major interior differences in the 500E, including a new and far-less-fussy central gauge pod, four buttons in place of a traditional gear lever, an oblong goiter on the dashboard, and revised vehicle info on the TomTom nav system. The 500E’s instrument panel now houses a full-color display that shows speed, battery level, power flow, range, and "trending" arrows that note whether you’ve been naughty or nice with power use. The oblong thing is a light that illuminates when charging so you can tell from 50 feet away whether your car is sucking juice.

The charging time from lowest level to full is four hours on 240 volts, or roughly 24 hours on 120. When the 500E is topped up, Fiat claims a range of more than 100 city miles, or 87 miles combined. In terms of mpge, the EPA rates the car for 122 mpge in the city, 108 mpge on the highway, and 116 mpge combined. We estimate that acceleration to 60 mph, thanks in part to full torque being available from 0 rpm, would take 8.9 seconds, or about a second quicker than the base 500. Top speed stands at 85 mph.

The traffic and the roads we were on limited us to less than 85 mph, but in the mode of a torquey diesel, the 500E feels quicker than it is when accelerating. You can hustle up a freeway ramp and easily flow into traffic, accompanied only by the thrum of the tires and whoosh of the wind. In fact, aside from the lack of internal-combustion noises, the 500E feels very much like its regular counterpart. Fiat has done a decent job masking the transition from regenerative to friction braking. On our drive, we found the best clue to the switchover to be the energy-flow dial on the TomTom unit. That dial is joined by two others, one that shows how much energy is being consumed by the climate control and another that shows how much energy is being used by the car's other systems. We prefer these readouts to the equally informative displays found in, say, Ford hybrids, because the Fiat’s look more businesslike and sit just out of your line of sight. The unit also displays the location of charging stations and your driving range via a circle around your current position. Of course, if the TomTom system isn’t needed or you’re not interested in the readouts, you can pop it off the dash and stow it.

Ah, Yes, That Old Friend: Range Anxiety

Most electric cars are used as urban scooters, but we drove the 500E on winding Mulholland Drive and Old Topanga Canyon Road near L.A. Here, again, the car feels like its siblings, with decent turn-in and appropriately weighted steering for its size. You can feel the car coping with the extra weight, however, and there’s no hiding the stiffer suspenders, although they’re not overly harsh. In fact, we were having a pretty good time—until we found ourselves at the top of a canyon with only 20 miles of range left. So, yeah, range anxiety. But in this particular situation, heading downhill on twisting roads, we were able to add range, using trail braking to keep the car regenerating while maintaining momentum. We weren’t watching the speedo but rather battery capacity and range. Back into traffic on Pacific Coast Highway, we again blended in among the fuel burners, not horsing the 500E for maximum energy saving and using only those accessories we needed. When we arrived at our destination, we'd only dipped from 41- to 38-percent battery capacity and driven the displayed available range up to 32 miles. In a limited-use car such as this, you have to take your fun where you find it.

As mentioned, you’ll have to go looking for this particular brand of fun in California, the sole market in which the Mexican-built 500E will be available. (Non-Californians, being limited to easily refueled, gas-fired Cinquecentos, really aren’t so limited after all.) Rebates available in various Golden State cities can significantly cut the lease price from that $999 down and $199 per month, although we should point out that a base Nissan Leaf, a more practical EV with only slightly less range, currently carries 36-month lease pricing of $1999 down and $199 per month. The 500E’s purchase price is $32,500 before factoring in any tax rebates or incentives; a Leaf starts at $29,650 before rebates. But the Nissan isn’t nearly as fun to look at or drive as the Fiat. Urban-scooter aficionados take note.
