In the Fiat 500e , there is no gearbox, so I have more room to sprawl, and the seats feel wider and comfier.

The car retains a similar overall shape and size, so it's still the tiny Fiat I love that I can park anywhere.

It's satisfying to find a parking spot where only your car will fit.

The Fiat 500e’s torque was startling the first time I put my foot on the pedal.

It doesn't have that gradual ramp-up I was used to on my gas car; it just goes, and it's fast and smooth.

The overall ride experience was fantastic—this EV feels nimble, quick, and responsive.

The Fiat 500e is too expensive, but we're starved for choice in the US , especially for small EVs that look great.

The $ 32,500 model starts at $ 36,000 , but there aren't many options for a small car.

I'm envious watching my UK counterparts enjoying a suite of tiny and affordable electric cars.
