2024 FIAT 500E WINTER COLD WEATHER RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

This video presents a winter cold weather range test of the 2024 Fiat 500e with its 42 kWh battery. Despite challenging conditions including -5°C temperatures and significant headwinds, the reviewer was highly impressed, exceeding his own prediction of 160 km by achieving approximately 185 km at an average highway speed of 105 km/h. The reviewer noted the car's efficiency dropped significantly, averaging around 20 kWh/100km, but still found the result to be excellent given the circumstances. He highlighted the car's strong bottom-end buffer and the interesting behavior of the battery management system (BMS) and indicated range, which showed a notable difference from actual battery levels. While acknowledging the car is primarily designed for city driving and not ideal for extreme long-distance travel, the reviewer concluded that the Fiat 500e is an underrated vehicle capable of reasonable performance even in adverse winter conditions, significantly outperforming his expectations.
