Fiat 500e is back on the market in NZ again.

I am very pleasantly suppressed by this, thought this was a model that was going to be gone from the NZ market for the foreseeable future, after fiat NZ cleared their stock at massive discounts late last year.

While not quite the pricing of late last year, it is not far away (only $3k more for the Scorpionissima), and given they have made the decision to bring this back to the NZ market, this pricing should be sustainable, unlike the massive EV firesale last year.

Last year discount prices:

 

Fiat 500e Pop $34,990 (was $59,990), no upcharge on non white paint options (was $750 - $2250)

 

Fiat 500e Icon $36,990 (was $64,990), no upcharge on non white paint options (was $750 - $2250)

 

ABARTH 500e $39,990 (was $74,990), no upcharge on non white paint options (was $750)

 

ABARTH 500e Scorpionissima $41,990 (was $76,990)

 




Spec seem largely the same as last year

Scott3:

 

On the tech adoption curve, "The Chasm" is often depicted between the Eairly Market and Mainstream market.

We in NZ have yet to cross the Chasm. It is a challenging stage in adoption. The innovators & Early adaptors have largely already had their fill, but tech is not quite appealing to Pragmatists / Eairly majority yet.


Crossing the Chasm: Why don't certain disruptive products ...

 

 

And as I've previously mentioned, hybrids, conventional or plug-in, are a good stepping stone if an EV is out of one's budget. With my hybrid, I'm getting roughly 620-670 kms from a 35L tank.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell
