Fiat 500e – Automotive EV precedent

By Strom Trooper

Fiat 500e 2014 USA Import Nevjerovatno ali moguće, da Fiat bolje napravi EV od prdilice, nadmaši premium svabske rivale i da još ni fleke ulja nema ispod nje. Kad Bosch zasuče rukave i u najranijoj fazi razvoja električnih vozila davne 2012 implementiraju najbolja moguća riješenja u baterijski pogonski sustav. Impresionirani smo. Riješenja kojih se i…
