How bout them Fiat 500e's?
You heard that right. Why stop at 1 Fiat when i can have another? Anyways this electric 500e popped up for like $5k and reveiws seems to be great minus their range which is about 80-100 miles tops. They only sold them in CA and OR origionally, but they appear to be popping up all over the lower 48.

80-100 miles for a good one. What kind of range degradation does a $5000 example have?
Does anyone here even own an electric car?

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

supposedly with them being liquid cooled they have much less degradation.

In for storytime
Re: How bout them Fiat 500e's?
I'm not going to to into all of if, but here are the cliffs:
- FB user name is generic and has not history to it.
- Guy shows up and i call him by his FB name and he says its his other name but to call him this new name.
- Title is in the name of his roommate who isn't with us but this guy will perform the transaction. I request to meet him, but he's unavailable. I press the issue, to find out he's an EMT who works late. I say great, we can do this when his schedule allows. Get a slow "ok" from guy.
- Photos on FB of car are from a tropic area, not NV
- Photos show perfect drivers seat, and exterior. Drivers has long progressive crack developing. Drivers door has been keyed. Front bumper has a big crease, with puncture and some paint chipping. Other dents all around the car noticeable in person, but not in photo.
-Main cluster has blinking clock. This is due to removing either the clock, or the main cluster. Requires dealer to reset. Guy claims he swapped radio and could easily fix himself.
-Guy shows up on full charge. Battery was a 70MTE when we meet up less than a mile from his house. I was told over 80 so not exactly true.
-Sure im missing more stuff, but it just didn't quite feel right.
Car drove fine and the torque from 15mph to 50 was great. However I'm not impressed with this guy, so ill just keep looking.

Definitely not worth the hassle for a car like that.
