2013 Fiat 500E EV, 2013 Fiat 500E EV Images Review :
There's much more to the fully electric 500 than the driving.
How It’s DIfferent
All this is applied to a 500 that has been tweaked aesthetically from the standard model. While aerodynamic efficiency was the first priority, the result just may be cuter than the original. Fiat designers spent 140 hours in the wind tunnel, often with clay and trowel in hand, cutting drag by a claimed 13 percent and interior sound levels by 20 percent. The reshaping also served to boost highway-speed range by about 5 miles, the company says. New stuff includes the front and rear lower fascias, wheels, rear spoiler, side sills, and mirror caps. Fiat used adjectives such as “aggressive,” “athletic,” and “masculine” when describing the 500E, words rarely heard around electric cars. Or any Fiat 500 this side of an Abarth, for that matter
