Much is still unknown about the 500e electric and keeps Fiat like to refer to as the official unveiling in Los Angeles. Based on these first two pictures of the car he gets at least a slightly different look with it. As you often see with environmental exculpatory cars is the front of the 500e possible bricked in favor of air resistance. Something that also applies to the wheels. In the eye of course the front bumper. Not only the color is different from the rest of the body, also its design is different than 500 with those of the internal combustion engine.

Interior

Simple
Inside there are also some differences. Just look at the instruments and the place where normally the gearshift. In the 500e you will find there are four buttons (P, R, N, D) to the transmission company to convert. Much simpler than this can not.
