Affordable Long-Range EVs : 2024 500e

The 2024 Fiat 500e is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) from Fiat that combines a smart Italian design and a high-voltage battery system. The 500e is compact, affordable, and offers zero-emission driving and powerful performance without the need for fossil fuels. The 500e is expected to have a driving range of up to 149 miles per charge, which is impressive for its cost, starting at roughly $34,000.

The 500e is powered by a 117-hp electric motor that delivers 162 lb-ft of torque. The 500e can add 30 miles of range in five minutes on an 85-kW fast charger, making it convenient for daily errands. The 500e also boasts a max speed of 93 mph, which is adequate for urban mobility. The 500e retains its retro-modern appeal but with an updated exterior and interior that should help its stylish appeal. A large 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system will likely run the Uconnect 5 software interface, and interior materials appear to have taken a big step up from the previous-generation car. The 500e is also available in a (RED) special edition, which marks the first time Fiat has partnered with the global health organization.
