New or Significantly Altered Models
- 2013 Fiat 500 e
- The 500 line adds a battery-electric model for 2013. Power is provided by a 111-bhp electric motor powering the front wheels. A 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack gives the 500e an estimated range of 80-100 miles on a charge. The battery pack is rechargeable in less than 4 hours at 240v. The 500e is more aerodynamic than the standard 500 to increase efficiency.
