fiat '500e'
introduced at the 2012 LA auto show, italian car manufacturers fiat have followed up on their successful two-door
hatchback with an electrified version of the vehicle: the 500e. after spending more than 140 hours of wind-tunnel sculpting
for a 13 percent aerodynamic and weight improvement, the 111 horsepower electric powered city car provides up-to 160
kilometers (100 miles) of range before needing to be recharged with a 240v outlet. its regenerative braking system converts
kinetic energy to electricity, providing additional range by charging the 24kWh hour liquid-cooled/heated lithium-ion battery.
an upgraded chassis puts an emphasis on handling and braking performance, where specially engineered suspension
tailors to the EV's architecture to engage a dynamic driving experience. the interior cockpit incorporates a 7-inch thin-film
transistor (TFT) instrument cluster display with an integrated electronic vehicle information center that showcases large
digital readouts indicating speed and range are ringed by dynamic gauges that give real-time feedback on state-of-charge
and driving style.
