    EV Tax Credit

    You’ll need to claim the EV tax credit yourself when filing taxes, dealers typically don’t handle that. Just make sure to keep your purchase paperwork and fill out IRS Form 8936.

    500e Charging Tips & Best Practices

    Hey Salty, congrats on your 500e! It's best to charge regularly, avoiding full discharges. For remote control, the Fiat 500e app helps manage charging times and settings. Fast charging is fine occasionally.

    That explains it. I’ll check the ABS system for tire pressure readings instead.

    Fan noise when charging at 50kW

    Yeah yeah, I got it checked and fixed. It turns out the fan noise was due to cooling at higher charging rates. Thanks for checking in

    Uconnect frustrations with the Fiat 500 icon

    My cousin's been struggling with Uconnect in the UK, as it seems designed mostly for the USA market. He's got a Fiat 500 Icon, full of tech, but it's confusing to navigate. He's wondering if there's a UK-specific site for Uconnect or if it's just limited to the US. Technology is great, but it’s...

    Government Grant for easy wallbox installation on a Fiat 500e

    A friend recently bought a Fiat 500e with an Easy Wallbox charger and is wondering if they can apply for the UK’s 75% government grant for installation. Has anyone had success with this?

    Fiat 500 Electric App confusion

    I need some clarification, but I'm not sure whether Fiat is giving me the runaround. Does Uconnect function with the Fiat 500 Electric, or is the Fiat app the only one that does? Does your Fiat app include a tire pressure option? I can't find one. I was informed by Fiat customer support today...

    I hadn't considered the temperature and recent driving affecting it, so yeah, it make sense the fan might vary with that, thanks

    Fan noise when charging at 50kW

    Yeah, that makes sense, probably the cooling fan kicking in during faster charging. I'll keep an ear out next time to see if it's consistent.

    Fan noise when charging at 50kW

    I’ve noticed something interesting while charging at 50kW chargers, there’s a fan noise that kicks in. I don’t hear any fan noise when charging at 11kW or 7kW, though. So I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

    Turning Off Headlights While Charging

    If you're sitting in your 500e while charging and can't turn off the headlights, here’s a simple solution: just get out of the car and lock the doors. The lights will automatically turn off, and the charging will continue as usual. Unfortunately, there's no option to turn off the daytime running...
