Fiat 500E - electric car with zero emissions
Its one millionth diesel city car Fiat 500 recently rolled off of the Assembly line plant in Poland. And so, in addition to gained an amazing popularity in Europe, but, alas, not recognized in our area of the city to the hatchback comes in an electric version. The debut of the Fiat 500e took place at the auto show in Los Angeles.
With the appearance on the market of the electric Fiat 500, which sales will start in the second quarter of 2013, all three major automotive giant, the U.S. can boast of having production in the range of electric vehicles.
According to experts, manufacture of electric car Alliance Fiat-Chrysler a step rather forced than caring about the environment. Manufacturers model zero-emission required to fit in with regulatory requirements, mandatory in some States.
As for the commercial side of production, from sales in the U.S. expected losses of up to $10,000 for each instance. Rather, it is for this reason in Europe to sell the Fiat 500e is not going to.
As for the electric car, its design is the result of three years work of the designers who managed to combine ecological purity typical Italian design. The machine is equipped by an electric motor with 111 HP and torque of 199 Nm. The energy for it is stored in a lithium-ion battery capacity of 24 KWh, which provides the mileage of up to 129 miles on the highway and up to 160 km in the city. The difference is the maximum mileage from one filling, obviously due to the recovery system, effectively returning to the battery the energy released when braking. Top speed is 137 km/h and efficiency is not equivalent to 108 miles on a single gallon of gasoline or consumption only of 2.18 litres of fuel per 100 km.
To a certain extent, such a high efficiency is achieved, including, and due to the perfect aerodynamics. Research and tests in the wind tunnel took more than 140 hours, which is added to the fuel economy extra 8 kilometers.
The design of the electric car called retro-futuristic. One glance is enough to understand that this is the Fiat 500, but with its own unique features. Among the decorative panels cover the exterior mirrors, roof spoiler and side sills. In the cabin of the electric car combines black, white and orange. The dashboard is reminiscent of a mechanical speedometer, in fact – a seven-inch TFT monitor.
The driver is available navigation system providing the traffic information. To monitor energy consumption in real time, to control the charging process and to find the nearest charging station will allow a branded app for your smartphone.
