EV Channels Review
This video chronicles a 500km winter road trip in Canada with the 2024 Fiat 500e, highlighting its limitations for long-distance travel. The reviewer emphasizes that while the 500e is an affordable city EV, its short range and slow charging speeds, exacerbated by winter conditions, make it impractical for extended journeys. The reviewer experienced significant range reduction due to cold weather and snow, necessitating multiple charging stops that substantially increased travel time. Charging infrastructure on the 417 highway is criticized as inadequate. While the car performs well for city commuting, the reviewer strongly advises against it for frequent road-tripping, suggesting a minimum 60 kWh battery capacity for such use cases. The video provides an honest, unvarnished look at the realities of living with a short-range EV in adverse conditions.
