The EV (electric vehicle) market has gained something new. This is FIAT's 500e, the automaker's first electrified 100% model.
Tests carried out by the company at the Betim Automotive Complex (MG) indicated that the car can reach 460 km of autonomy when running in ideal conditions.
The electric motor delivers 87 kW, which is equivalent to 118 horsepower and the torque reaches 220 Nm – which means it takes 9 seconds to reach 100 km/h, and with a recovery of 60 km/h to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
The 500e will be sold in Brazil at ten dealerships in nine different cities: Porto Alegre (RS), Curitiba (PR), Florianópolis (SC), Campinas (SP), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Belo Horizonte (MG), Brasília (DF) and Recife (PE).
WEG will be the supplier of the electric stations
WEG announced the signing of the approval agreement to be the official supplier of charging stations for FIAT's new 500e electric vehicle.
The contract provides for the inclusion of two new generation WEMOB – WEG Electric Mobility models in the automaker's product catalogue, as well as equipment installation services and technical visits to customers.
According to the company, the charging stations will be offered to FIAT consumers in two different models: WALL, designed for homes and condominiums, and PARKING, developed for shared use in public and private parking lots.
WEG stated that both work in any voltage in Brazilian cities and have all the protections required by national and international standards. With protection against UV rays and resistant to water jets and dust, the equipment can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
“We are taking another important step in our strategy to offer efficient, sustainable and intelligent solutions for the electric mobility segment. We also want to provide the FIAT customer with the best experience for fast and safe recharging”, highlighted Manfred Peter Johann, managing director of WEG Automação.
