2013 Fiat 500E: spy electric version

Fiat 500E: spy photos of the electric version. When electric car segment, although still not taking off as one might expect and not expect widespread use at the moment, Leaner still new models. A list that has joined Fiat, which has already come a long way in developing the electric version of the Fiat 500, Fiat 500E, from which we can see how it looks thanks to these spy shots. A few images that we see how they have used elements from other versions, such as Abarth, to set the final design of the electric utility.

If external level can be seen, especially in the front, details already known thanks to the Fiat 500 Abarth, overall the model does not differ much in terms of equipment and dimensions of the basic version of the range. The Fiat 500E leverage this advantage to get to market on 2013, with an electric motor capable of reaching the 100 horsepower, which is yet to define its final position.

Development in the U.S.
Works with Fiat 500E is being conducted in the United States as the Chrysler team, part of the group, has more experience in the development of electric vehicles. Anyway, it remains to determine whether the release of this electric version is made only in the U.S. market or if you draw a comprehensive plan which also has units for Europe or Japan, two a priori markets more responsive to electric models.

Whatever finally the first target market, what is clear is that this Fiat 500E will win the battle of the price at Nissan Leaf for example, being lighter and smaller. In addition, on an aesthetic level, the proposal also looks more attractive, exploiting the results already obtained by these versions Abarth are working reasonably well on both sides of the Atlantic.

An electric utility
As we can see in these spy shots, the Fiat 500E Abarth shares with the appearance of the front bumper and front ventilation , although, as is logical in an electric motor, has no rear diffuser and exhaust. Slight variations do not alter the general line of the electric utility. A model that will be very similar to the combustion engine version in it, except for the addition of some controls for buttons from which to set the forward or reverse, by removing the standard shifter.

A series of small variations as secure from Fiat, do not try to achieve some great results in sales, as it estimates will not be the Fiat 500E model with which to achieve profits reach. It is rather a question mark, because today begins to be almost mandatory that each manufacturer offers an electric version to avoid running out of the game of green cars.
