EV Channels Review
This video details an extraordinary lease deal on the Fiat 500e, allowing the host to acquire the vehicle for minimal upfront cost and $0 monthly payments, only covering taxes and a return fee. The reviewer highlights the significant impact of Colorado's state EV tax incentives ($5,000) combined with federal credits ($7,500) and manufacturer incentives, which effectively subsidize the lease. While the deal is presented as 'free,' the reviewer acknowledges it's taxpayer-funded. The Fiat 500e itself is described as a fun, zippy city car with good technology and low running costs, though its limited 150-mile range and two-door configuration are noted drawbacks. A significant concern raised is the high insurance cost ($180/month), which offsets some of the savings. The purchasing process was lengthy and complex, involving extensive paperwork and a co-signer due to insufficient credit history, contrasting sharply with the streamlined online process of brands like Tesla. Despite the administrative hurdles, the reviewer finds the deal irresistible and the car enjoyable to drive.
