The thing with electric cars is that they’re hugely impractical if you’re always on the go. Charge times are crazy and it’s always a compromise between speed and effective range.
Fiat, however, claims that the electric version of the Fiat 500 can go 150 miles in between charges, leaving you to destinations within 75 miles to leave enough juice for the travel home.
The car packs 5,000 battery cells which are charged via the plug. A regenerative braking system helps to charge it while on the go.
With all that added weight, however, the electric 500 won’t be as agile and zippy as the gas-powered one. It can still manage 0-60 mph in around 10 seconds though.
