In this animation video, we can see how it is possible to convert a classic Fiat 500 into an electric vehicle without altering its nature. The company providing this bolt-in conversion package is silentclassic.co.uk. The kit is designed to be bolted on, so no modifications to the original vehicle are necessary: the 21 KWh battery has a range of 120 miles, equivalent to about 193 km. The battery recharges from the front emblem and is 3a3 Kw, and the braking is regenerative; it is possible to upgrade the front disc brakes if desired.

You can purchase the conversion package by sending the car to the UK, and they will take care of all the work, or purchase the complete vehicle. Costs are available upon request.
