THIS FIAT 500 IS ELECTRIC! WHAT'S IT LIKE TO DRIVE?

EV Channels Review

This video review explores a converted Fiat 500, now powered by an electric motor and Tesla battery packs. The reviewer, despite initial reservations about the standard Fiat 500, finds the electric conversion to be a "transformative" experience, significantly enhancing the driving dynamics. Key highlights include the instant torque, providing surprisingly brisk acceleration, and the car's suitability for town driving. The reviewer notes the conversion is currently running at 60% power due to testing, but even at this level, performance is deemed superior to the original. Downsides mentioned are the limited range (50-75 miles), a lengthy 6-hour charging time, and the high cost of such conversions, making it unattainable for many. The reviewer concludes that while not a long-distance vehicle, it's "absolutely ideal" for local trips and offers a fun, engaging classic car experience without the drawbacks of an internal combustion engine.
