This Fiat 500 is ELECTRIC! What's it like to drive?

I love electric vehicles, so when a chance came to test a freshly-completed Fiat 500, I leapt at the chance, grabbing the keys before testing had even been completed. Therefore, it is running at only 60% of its potential, but it's enough to know that electric power can be a very good thing. This Electric 500 has a 15kwh battery back, which means 50-75 miles when fully charged, depending on terrain and speed. This isn't about the environmental argument, because that is complex and not entirely clear. But, if you're going to go electric, it seems far better to build an EV out of an existing car, with batteries from a crashed Tesla.

They are currently converting a Ferrari 308, and have previously converted several Volkswagens, a BMW E9 and a Porsche 911!
