New Fiat 500 electric, the technique without secrets News

Yesterday, 4 march, is open the pre-booking online for the launch version, “the First” debuted on the new 500 electric, which is behind a lot of philosophy (“ It's time to take action to create a better future ”) and such policy ( "Italy is not stopped, the Fiat does not stop" ).

Themes "high", so high, that they did go on the second floor and the most classic of questions: but what is under the bonnet of the new Fiat 500? And as you drive?

let's Start here: the autonomy is up to 320 km with a cycle WLTP, thanks to the Lithium-Ion batteries that have a capacity of 42kWh. This, translated into simple terms, means that driving it "evil" and without any respect for the batteries or the autonomy (what to do), you can do without problems, 200 km real.

charging instead relies on a system fast charger 85 kW that allows you to remove a little stress from the recharge: to put it in the farmhouse a range of 50 kilometres - more than the average daily usage – it only takes 5 minutes. And as always, thanks to the fast charger, you can recharge 80% of battery in just 35 minutes. The grip “Combo 2” is positioned on the side of the rear right of the car allows the charging alternating current is to be continuous, enabling then the fast charger.

that's Not all: the 500 electric brings the famous Easy wall box , the charging system of the home that allows you to connect to the normal outlet of the house. Here of course the charging times are longer, but you want to put the comfort of being able to attach it to the socket as if it were an iPhone?

The steering wheel then the New 500 offers three different styles of driving (called "driving mode" makes a lot more chic: Normal, Range and the Sherpa selectable according to the driving style.

The most beautiful of all is "Sherpa" (applause to the genius who chose the name...) because it is the mode that allows the driver to get to the destination, optimizing the resources available. So the cinquecentina as a Sherpa of Nepal that you put in the shoulder of the whole (in this case the pilot, passengers and baggage), brings you to the house. How? The system optimizes to the maximum the resources to reduce the energy consumption of the car. The car is transformed into a cilice (no climate, acceleration, times, maximum speed by people, heated seats detached), but brings you to the house.

Then there is the “Normal” mode, which is useless to explain it, just the name and the “Range” that maximizes the regeneration system of the batteries under braking, then how about other electric cars, the 500 is the only pedal of the accelerator.

And we come to the heart. To the engine. Here we have a power of 87 kW (so many for such a machine) that allows a maximum speed of 150 km/h (self-limited) and an acceleration in 9.0 seconds from 0-100 km/h, and 3.1 seconds in the 0-50 km/h. So brilliant guide, indeed a very bright one.

about the guide: here there is the autonomous Level 2, i.e. the system that monitors longitudinally and laterally, all the surroundings of the car: the system iACC (Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control brakes or accelerates, taking care of everything: cars, cyclists, pedestrians. The Lane Centering keeps the car in the center of the lane, when they are correctly identified, the lines of demarcation of the same.

Not only that: the Intelligent Speed Assist, instead, it reads the speed limits and suggests the driver to set them up, while the Urban Blind Spot through ultrasonic sensors, monitors blind spots and alerts you with a warning light triangular - that appears on the side mirror - if there are obstacles. Attention Assist then, through alerts on the display, I recommend that you stop and take a break when you are tired. Finally, the sensors 360 degrees provide a drone view to avoid all the obstacles, when you park and in the more complex manoeuvres.

Obviously, a car so hitech required a leap forward, even on the infotainment system. And here is the fifth generation of the famous UConnect, which now has a big screen by 10,25’ and all the usual things that have the multimedia systems top of the range.

From the point of view of the design tweaks are minimal. But it hides the important things, indeed epoch-making: thanks to the substance of the new platform, the third generation of the 500 is wider than 6 inches and more long, many 6 inches long and 2 inches pitch and larger wheels. In short, compared to the old is a "big car", while remaining under the four meters of length.

and Also inside of a revolution: between the two front seats, where before was placed the cabinet to the exchange, there is now a solution the modular compartments are all to the advantage of an important interior space is perceived. There is more space behind the shoulders and the legs, while the flat bottom allows the housing of the lithium-ion batteries without impacting on the capacity of the trunk remains unchanged.

The price? “The First” Convertible - includes Easy Wallbox – on sale for 37.900 euro (excluding the eco-incentives in the Country). If your order now you will be the seconds to have it after Leonardo DiCaprio, a spokesperson for the New fiat 500: in the launch video which invites everyone to engage with great effort in the challenge to climate change: towards sustainability: “We need to go all-in” (we play everything) says. But no, no " refers to the savings that need to buy it...
