The 2015 Fiat 500e for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2015 Fiat 500e for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page sets out the 2015 Fiat 500e for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Reading the spec sheet
The electric motor does the work, through a 1-speed automatic. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For every 100 km it uses about 18.1 kWh. On paper it goes 140 km between charges, less in winter. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $8.16 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the 500e makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Space, size and seats
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. EPA lists 198 litres of luggage space, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the 500e answers more than any brochure.
Which one to look for
Within the 2015 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
