TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2019 Fiat 500e is a throwback in more ways than one: It has a nostalgic style and feel, but also outdated range. With a quicker-accelerating, 226-mile Plus model in the lineup, the 2019 Nissan Leaf is a lot of electric car for the money. The 2019 Smart Fortwo delivers on its promises: two people, electric powertrain, and a city car. It doesn’t promise much else, though.
