Off Topic Electric 500 owners roll call, check in and say hello :)

Does anyone know what size the spare tyre would be as I only have an aerosol in the boot ? It’s a 2023 500E.

Hi,🙂
not too many owners on here..
So nobody on here may have found a wheel 🤔

My older PETROL 500,
I bought an Alloy wheel.. (As I do 100+ mile journeys) it won't fit in the well 😒

So I've left a skinny basic old FIAT wheel in there (marginally better than a space saver..)

Hoping somebody can give you better news 👍

Hopefully, the extract below helps
The pattern of 4 holes (4 x 98),
and their thread (12 x 1.25)
are exactly the same as the Panda and 500 of the last 20 years 👍

Centre bore : is the hole in the middle of the wheel that is traditionally a fairly snug fit on the lip of the wheel hub (brake area) 😉

Being an EV it probably has relatively small brake discs, so that could help with the range of suitable wheels 🤔


That spec.. presumably quoted from an "owners manual" is very informative, thanks @gazz_bee

Hoping my "layman's terms" above might help 🙂

Traditionally FIAT will want North of £500 for a supplied correct wheel,
(if the enquiry is After the initial car order)
 
We need to get the electric party started, so if you're the proud owner of a 500e or New 500 (depending on what you want to call it 🤔) please say hello below!

You could also consider adding your pride and joy to the garage too, we'd all love to see it :D

Hello!

Just purchased new Fiat 500e - replacing our 2013 500 Pop!
Delivered on Monday but sadly had an issue with 12V battery on Tuesday (car was completely dead) and towed back to the dealer to diagnose. After calling Stellantis, service folks discovered it is likely a fault with use of a level 1 charger that drained the 12V battery. They currently aren't recommending use of a level 1 charger now? Excited to get the car back tomorrow and figure out how to charge until level 2 charger installed! Figured i'd be needing all of you if the first day was any indication ha ha. Here's "Barb" on day 1 hanging out in front of the barn:

If the fault is in the Level 1 charger supplied with the car, then they should give you a replacement charger under the warranty.

I'm surprised that your passenger side wiper arm is cranked. Euro LHD models have a straight arm.

OK, like to say hello to everyone. I'm Dutch, we have collected today a pre-owned Fiat 500e. Color is mica green (which looks blue anyway), 22.000 km and two y/old. I like the idea of a forum so I hope to have some nice input. Taco
 
We have about 10.000 on the Clock now no problems. The only thing I can moan at is the fact that charging stations (if I have to use them ) prices vary and you don’t have a lot of choice anyway . . Been to a few that have problems even charging , then you have to phone the number etc . . You’re in a queue. . And you still can’t charge 🤬
