Fiat e500 to electrify the British International Motor Show
If you love the Fiat 500 as much as we do, live in the UK and wished you could buy an electric version of this nuovo-retro then you are in luck! The NICE Car Company have announced they will launch the Micro Vette Fiat e500 at the British International Motor Show (BIMS). Micro Vette has a close relationship with Fiat and because their work leaves the vehicle structurally undisturbed, not only is the e500 covered by the full Fiat warranty, but you can also order from the full range of Fiat options.
Powered by lithium-ion polymer batteries, the e500 has a range of 70 miles and will do 60 mph. While maybe not ideal for those with a super long commute, it seems to possess just enough performance to fill its role as an electric city car. It's definitely preferable to driving a G-Wiz (sorry Wizzers). If you're interested in it, let them know at BIMS since they are saying this produced-to-order sweetie is available for a limited time.

Okay, I KNOW that the Fiats of the sixties and seventies were unreliable are poorly made. But, heck, these little Fiat 500's are totally CUTE and STYLISH! Electric or gas, hey, come on Fiat, bring them it! I LOVE Italian cars! Now, all we need is to bring back Alfa Romeo!
