My future little 500th

A few months ago, I was thinking about taking the plunge for a zoe .
After some hesitation from the lover (who also wanted to take a ve) . Who ultimately resumes a good fuel oil (phew ! Here we are saving for the holidays!)).
I signed an order form at Fiat for the small 500th. Small battery for small use, it is the 23.4 kW (autonomy announced 190 km, but we all know that it will never be that hahaha). It should be received before the end of September (too difficult to wait: ‘()

So for information, I would have loved the zoe (she is so beautiful !) but the full purchase is just overpriced, a second -hand purchase . It could have been not bad . But no thank you the rental of the battery which frankly is not given !
I went to see the little twingo e-tech. Small autonomy like the 500th . A little better finished inside than the thermal versions that I had seen at the time when I sought to change my clio3 (by a clio4 in the end). It was much better equipped than the version I chose in 500th but I am not at all option hahahah, so I don’t care. Something that disturbed me enormously during the test: the sound of the wind while rolling, the soundproofing did not seem terrible to me ! This was an additional negative point that made me choose the 500th .
Indeed, the Twingo had a 36 -month LOA, I find it very long for a first test in VE. Fiat offered a rental over 24 months, barely higher than Renault per month.

I can’t wait to receive it and be able to see if the VE is for me.

I think I will have questions on the whole common environment of the VE (charging stations, etc.)

In any case, thank you for the answers from the start of the year

Use of the vehicle: 50% city – 50% road

Qualities : Ho I love her,
For a fair price (can be 3000 euros too high, but much less than its direct competitors) you have an electric convertible
That is to say something that doesn’t make noise, hair in the wind
The recharging is much more interesting than the 85 kW Zoé against 50kW, you can go to the highway (but not foot on the floor anyway)
The on -board computer is one of the most successful of its generation. You have Carplay (unlike the Tesla)
Pleasure car, to the perfect presentation.. In the after -sales service available.
I completed it with a front trunk (available in Austria) perfect to put the cable and not dirty the upholstery.
I have 42kw, and I made a Bordeaux Paris with. The car is just waiting for that. (with the 24kW no, it’s not reasonable)
The car is very stable, the direction precise and the box.. Perfect there is none (we regret an Eco mode not present to save even more

Defaults : Used a bit of a messy
Necessarily we would like more room. But it must be said that you can park everywhere (especially with the camera. which is essential) (but standard I think now)
Maintenance at Fiat 250 euros so as not to do. Go to generalists.
Autonomy on highway: either it is not its strong point. But after a cool trip (plus 110 or 90km/h) you arrive fresh. And on site you have your little bomb, much more practical than a model X at 150,000 euros

Average consumption : 130km/h on a highway 140km at 90 km/h on a highway 350 km

Problems encountered : Nothing, solid plastics, it’s serious, it’s European
Italians have a bad reputation for their elite mechanics
But there and well there are no more then.

Note : 19/20

Insurance price: 450 euros/year

Zo�, the VW small and the i3 load in 50kW it’s too fair to go to the highway. You have 85kw load for 42 battery.. a meal (without dessert) and you leave
