12 September 2024
Stellantis temporarily halts production of the Fiat 500e due to a low demand, highlighting the challenges faced by automakers in the transition to electric mobility.

The Fiat 500e is a wonderful little car. However it is priced similar to much larger family cars with more space and range. The price point makes it a tough sale.

what is this car meant to be.

as a buyer, cars are an appliance, drive from a to b.

but if i'm spending 500e money, i want something more.
i don't care about range/battery size, if it super duper fast charges.
i don't about either if it drives/handles like a formula one.

Personally, there's no way I'm buying a car like this for over 20,000 euros.
And I also don't see the point of buying an EV with less than 300 km range. Which is also not quite enough.
I guess we'll have to wait for solid state batteries to be plentiful and cheap.

Even more, your neighbor needs another 20 kW, and his neighbor too, s.o. Where so much electrical power available? And, imagine all existing cables installed in 60' underground, must be changed.
Simple - no way!
