NOT JUST FRIENDLY. IT’S
ENVIRONMENTALLY SEXY.
fiat 500e
®
Now there’s an emissions-free vehicle that generates as much excitement as it does unbridled power.
FIAT® 500e doesn’t compromise design, performance and personality in order to achieve environmental
compatibility. This latest incarnation of the Cinquecento spirit brings its trademark Italian style, purpose and
fun to the daily commute. And having full access to HOV lanes* (with the passenger requirement waived)
only heightens that free feeling that comes with clean driving. Finally, a truly electric EV.
FIAT® 500e is available in California only at select FIAT Studios. *The program is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014.

MODE
These are looks that stand out — without the self-congratulatory
“I’m green!” attitude. Like its conventionally powered siblings,
FIAT® 500e delivers modern Italian aesthetics: smooth, simple
and accessible design, with captivating and distinctive form.
Its refinement and attention to detail exude true
efficiency and intelligence. It’s the kind of
personal statement you want to make.

ARRIVEDERCI, GAS STATION
Take the scenic route to work — FIAT® 500e boasts a combined range of 87 miles,* with city range averages
clocking in at over 100 miles.* In fact, this fun and nimble Electric Vehicle will give you a whole new outlook on your
commute, letting you skip less-than-picturesque stopping points like the gas station. We’re betting you won’t miss
watching the wildly fluctuating prices at the pump, either. What you can count on is a truly innovative electric-drive
motor that really delivers — with more than ample 111 horsepower (83 kW) and 147 lb-ft of torque, energized by a
24 kWh liquid-cooled/heated lithium-ion battery. And with lower wind resistance from aerodynamic design improvements,
regenerative brakes and 15-inch Firestone® Firehawk GT low rolling-resistance tires, FIAT 500e really hums along.
It all adds up to the 122 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) city* and 108 MPGe highway* of battery- only electric
power (and zero emissions). We’ve also built in some features that make the 500e behave in a more familiar, conventional
power train-way. A “creep” feature helps ensure that the car launches smoothly as the brake pedal is released. And
the Power Inverter Module (PIM) delivers the kind of accelerator – pedal feedback drivers are used to experiencing.
After all, who says owning an EV means you have to compromise?

HOW it’s different The FIAT
500e
entry into the Electric Vehicle market shakes things up
by bringing with it the Cinquecento legacy of simple, purposeful
and fun-to-drive values. Finally, drivers can access an electric car that
makes them feel great about helping the environment, while feeling great
behind the wheel, as well. FIAT engineers infused an intelligently integrated
approach to electric propulsion and innovative connectivity features into the
beloved FIAT Italian design tradition of city-friendly, driver-responsive cars. Plus,
drivers will welcome a number of electric vehicle-specific innovations that
address issues important to them. Hill Start Assist holds the brake for up
to four seconds, preventing any rollback when starting from a stop on a hill.
Regenerative braking works to preserve brakes as well as recharge the battery.
Maintenance in general is minimal, requiring only tire rotation and a periodic
check of brake fluid, wiper fluid, coolant fluid and tire pressures.The silent nature
of the 500e inspired the Pedestrian Alert feature that delivers an audible signal
when the car is traveling under 22 mph to let pedestrians know it’s there.
And an Auto Shift to Park feature ensures the vehicle is properly in “Park”
when it should be.
®
How it goes Technically speaking, FIAT 500e charts all-new
powertrain territory while preserving the agile feel and handling of its
conventionally powered siblings. It all starts with the 24 kWh lithiumion battery that revs up a permanent-magnet, three-phase synchronous
drive motor that outputs 111 horsepower (83 kW). It’s called eDrive,
and it’s accessible via conveniently placed center-stacked push buttons that
replace a conventional shifter. When the car is taken out of “Park,” its design
produces an impressive 147 lb-ft of torque, yet allows for lower motor input
speeds that conserve battery energy and extend range. FIAT 500e features
a sophisticated battery thermal-management system that maintains optimal
operating temperatures and greatly reduces issues with outside temperature
extremes. A blend of ethylene glycol and corrosion inhibitors is circulated
through elements, boosting the battery life. A Power Inverter Module (PIM)
plays a huge part in creating familiar handling characteristics: the pedal responds
appropriately when accelerating and decelerating. PIM assists with braking,
accommodating regeneration and reducing brake wear. PIM also regulates the
amount of amps sent to the eDrive by converting DC to AC.
What it’s made of
World-class handling and
braking are not usually the province of electric vehicles, but FIAT 500e
is different — much different. Unique chassis hardware and specific
suspension tuning produce the kind of big-grin drives that have you
itching for your next trip. The battery pack is strategically located
to improve front-to-rear balance. The 16.3:1 steering-gear ratio is
coupled with Electronic Power Steering (EPS) calibration which
increases steering response and feedback. Braking adds an extra
measure of control and reclaimed power, with vented front-disc
brakes and a high-efficiency energy-regenerating system. Its ingenious
design extends both range and brake life. Engineers outdid themselves
in the “Shhhh” department: eight exterior aerodynamic improvements
and 12 interior improvements create a remarkable level of interior
quietness. And a redesigned body structure delivers ten percent
improvement in rigidity.
