Comment on EV battery swaps will be tested with the Fiat 500e in 2024
BombOmOm@lemmy.world 1 year agoAlso, I mentioned this over in the EV thread on the 500e, but the car has poor range, is expensive, and doesn’t even qualify for full US subsidies. The 500e is DOA.

I have the original 500e (ya know the one with “80” miles of range) they’re quite popular and very useful day to day. I agree the new 500e is too expensive but I think the range is fine…also the original 500e was about the same price but these days dirt cheap.
Back to the topic at hand: Fuck battery swaps, it’s a bad idea with good intentions and that’s why it keeps failing except for PEV (personal electric vehicles) such as mopeds/ebikes.
