2024 FIAT 500E ALL ELECTRIC - LOWEST COST BEV IN CANADA!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Fiat 500e is presented as Canada's lowest-cost all-electric vehicle, starting at $33,995 CAD before incentives. The reviewer highlights its charming Italian design, compact size making it ideal for urban commuting and parking, and a surprisingly practical cargo space when the rear seats are folded. The driving experience is described as fun and zippy, with a responsive front-wheel-drive, single-motor setup producing 117 hp. Real-world range is estimated around 230 km, adequate for daily use, with DC fast charging capable of reaching 80% in 35 minutes. Positives include its enjoyable driving dynamics, excellent maneuverability, quiet cabin, and appealing aesthetics that draw significant attention. Criticisms are minor, focusing on the small sun visors, a single cup holder, and the rear seats being very cramped. Despite a slightly higher price point relative to its range, the low operating costs and fun factor make it a recommended, budget-friendly EV for secondary or commuter use.
