Something like 200km. May be adequate or may be useless depending on the driving profile. Level 1 charger would be rough if you are close to max range every day as it takes ~25 hours from empty to full. Vehicles with larger packs are more forgiving with leaving in the morning not fully charged and use the weekend to catch up and get back to full.
I'm thinking it being used as a second vehicle for shopping and errands. For people renting level 1 saves installation costs.
Tempting! $250 with taxes in a month and 24,000 annual kms over 3 years. Might need tires at the end of the lease but, can’t imagine maintenance costs too high. Brakes? Maybe from lack of use? Oil changes? There are some fluids but, suspect they are lifetime and no change required. Hand back the keys and ciao!
12.5c/km vehicle cost plus <5c/km power (fuel), maintenance close to zero. May be the cheapest wheels around if if it can do the job for you. For the 12K in lease payments, you could get a 10 yo 200k km corolla that burns ~10c/km in gas plus fluids plus maintenance and it's hard for the ICE to win.
That's the problem just now with battery tech changing so quickly lease makes all sorts of sense. Get the fixed monthly cost you need then walk away.
I did a quick check on maintenance in the owner's manual , page 178 , there's a cabin air filter every 2 years/32K Km and battery coolant replacement at 10 years/240k km. Everything else is just inspection. Tires are 17" so not that expensive either, at least compared to the vehicles running 18-22".
I ran the Fiat canada configure tool and got his numbers. Not sure why yours is different.
It is good on the fiat site the dealer site comes up differently.
Yup! For a second car, run about town, it’s not a bad option. Might have to tint the windows to avoid being seen or put a bumper sticker on saying it’s the wife car or something like that.
A smaller car leaves more room in the garage for another bike.Yup! For a second car, run about town, it’s not a bad option. Might have to tint the windows to avoid being seen or put a bumper sticker on saying it’s the wife car or something like that.
Some folks get golf carts to run around the neighborhood. I’d get one of these.
The maintenance costs would be near zero. Hoping others may follow suit. Watching Leaf and Bolt to see if they come down.
At the end of the day, those used 500 coming off lease are gonna be dirt cheap too!
I know Fiat isn’t know for their quality but, leasing a cheapo new one just to run around it is appealing.
Then again, I’m paying for a motorcycle and looking to ride that as much as I can this season.
No doubt! And I’m old enough not to care what others think of me while driving it.
There is a checkbox for more detailed calculations. That allows you to change length, frequency, mileage, etc.
this is one.
