Unlike the electric BMW 1-series, however, the 500 BEV is purely a concept. There are no plans for production - the BEV has been created so that Fiat and Chrysler can investigate the viability of a small, sporty electric car.
With a body based on the 500 Abarth, the bronze BEV certainly looks good, but we can't even guess as to how it runs, because Fiat isn't even talking ball-park power or range figures.
The fact that it has four seats also strongly suggests to us that the BEV isn't a runner - where would they put the batteries?
