Throughout its history , the 500 has undergone many facelift operations and had attributes changed , including its suicide doors — doors hinged at the rear rather than the front , almost unheard of in modern cars — and increased size of the vehicle .
For the forgetful drivers , the 500e also has a Sherpa mode , which reduces power even more so that you ’ re not left stranded by the roadside .
The interior of the car gives drivers more of a premium feel , and they can enjoy the silence of the electric motor , which is far from the petrol-powered grumble of the old model .
BUILDING PLATFORM TO MAKE THE EV SWITCH
As one of the industry giants , Stellantis is all-in on electrification , so the company is working hard to continuously develop its EV technologies . From this , the company announced that all vehicles will be built upon one of its four game-changing EV platforms : STLA Small , STLA Medium , STLA Large , STLA Frame .
The company ’ s electrification strategy has brought great success to Fiat . But , if you ’ re ( still ) deterred by the range of the Fiat 500e , rest assured the company is working hard to enhance the experience , with its smallest BEV platform in its range set to reach 300 miles per charge .
