Fiat is gearing up to begin customer deliveries of the all-new electric 500 in March 2021 and has today confirmed that prices will start from £19,995 when order books open in December.

That price includes the £3500 plug-in car grant and is for the entry-level hatchback-only Action car, which is powered by a 94bhp electric motor capable of 0-62mph in 9.5sec and an 84mph top speed. The variant's 23.8kWh battery offers a WLTP-certified range of 115 miles and can charge at speeds of up to 50kW.

There's also a version that gets the larger 42kWh pack so can travel 199 miles on a charge

It makes it a practically unusable car in less than 4 years. In my city you can find a Fiat500e that you paid $34K when new, for $5k. Mostly because the range would have reduced to something that is not practical for anyone.

Here is an example of what I am saying.

Adding a door to the same old car will not do anything to fix the original issue.
