Fiat 500e Service Europe.

Fiat 500e Service in Mirano (Venice)
Fiat 500e Service in Mirano (Venice) where we took care of the fleet of Esergetica company, specialising in supplying photovoltaic installations. Photovoltaic installation and electric car are the perfect combination. Therefore, it is not surprising why they decided to bring a dozen electric cars from the USA.

Fiat 500e Mirano

Esergetica is an Italian company so the choice could not fall on a different car than the classic in the modern edition of the electric Fiat 500e

working on Fiat 500e in Italy

Our main task was to check and prepare cars for driving. From the visual assessment of the state of all high voltage installations. After complete computer diagnosis and execution of necessary updates and recurrent actions such as U69

HV Battery Repair
In one case, thanks to the experience of our technicians, it was possible to detect serious damage to the battery pack. On closer inspection the high voltage socket was broken also in the seemingly non-damaged Fiat 500e. This time turned out, the damage was hidden behind the lower aerodynamic shields, which, after being indented, returned to its shape. For this reason, it has effectively masked the problem. Crushed corner and hole in the bottom metal part of the battery case. In addition, damage to the upper lid of the fiberglass was sufficient to exclude the enclosure from use.

However, the enclosure, lithium batteries was not damaged. It was too bad to cross out such good batteries. So we put all the contents of the package into the undamaged recovery case. HV Battery Repair has change to liIon cells swap

Why the tightness of the package is so important? And what damage can cause even the smallest hole in the battery we have already written on our blog.

It is worth emphasizing that this car did not take part in the accident and only invaded the obstacle on the ground. The remainder of the package as well as the whole car did not carry the smallest traces of damage. Therefore, you should consider doing a review before or after purchasing Fiat 500e. We are the most experience in repairing electrical 500 fiat team in Europe.

Post collision unlocking

Post-collision unlocking of Fiat 500e has to be done always after airbag deployment. Fiat 500e lock’s itself after collision with heavy g force for safety reasons. unlocking requires a review of the condition of the electrical installation

Why Post collision inspection is so important in Electric Vehicles?

Post collision common problems: battery pack damage. How small hall in HV Battery Pack can become a BIG PROBLEM.

This dead Fiat 500e did not go into standby and did not want to charge. When we connect diagnostic computer, the first eye-throwing errors indicate overheating of the high-voltage package. After a quick check of the HV battery cooling installation, we proceeded to further analyse the actual data. Temperature readings from the individual target packets ranged from 21 to 85! Centigrade. Such readings clearly indicate damage to the balancer modules or the sensors themselves. As a result we got the decision, we lift the electric car up and take out the HV batteries.

Post collision unlocking

After opening the Fiat 500e Traction battery pack, our surprise was endless. The whole top cover was sweat with liquefed water. All steel rusty bolts, a large part of the package floor covered with strange dust. We couldn’t understand where the water could take on 2 the battery.

Post collision unlocking

It turned out that the non-damaged HV battery housing has a small abrasion on the front. Rubbing small but strong enough that resulted in a miniature tear of the sheet metal package. Finaly We found thats place, where the water gets into the HV battery pack. At the same time the tear was small enough that it was not able to evaporate the pressed water.

Post collision unlocking

Drying, cleaning, measuring, brewing and again measuring took a dozen hours of really hard work. A work that you can certainly avoid by reporting to us for a review before or after purchasing an electric fiat. As the above case shows, easy to repair, a slight malfunction can result in very large and often not even reversible damage to the components of the electric car.
Thats why it is so important that the post collision unlocking repair, should be carried out under the supervision of persons specialising in this electric Car repairs.

Fiat 500e HV battery rebuilds & regeneration. We are rebuilding and regenerating all electric and hybrid cars High Voltage Batteries. Measurements and reports on the battery State of Health. Replacing of damaged cells. Call us before looking for Fiat 500e replacement battery.

Fiat 500e High Voltage Battery specs

500e HV Battery includes a 24 KWH chilled/heated lithium-ion Battery. 500e battery voltage is equal to 364 Volts nominal from 97 cells. ~400V, fully charged. Equipped with safety fuse, that after detach divides the HV battery for two parts

Fiat 500e Battery charger is On Board Charging Module with 6,6kW max power. Level 1 and Level 2, Fiat 500e charging options for 110V and 230V

Fiat 500e HV Battery Repair.

Electric Fiat 500 over-discharge problem after long time not used. Very often problem after shipping to Europe from United States. We achieve the best results after raising the battery back to operational voltage. Check our post about 47% or 0% SOC, Limited Power Mode not ready Fiat 500e.

Post collision damage Battery Pack Repair. Or very often damage after hitting a sharp stone. Sometimes the smallest hole, may cause water to accumulate inside the battery pack. Water in high voltage battery pack can cause irreparable damage or even a fire of the Electric Vehicle.

Limited Power mode, 47% or 0%SOC, not ready Fiat 500e

“Limited Power mode“, 47% or 0% SOC (State of Charge), “Not Ready” and a not charging Fiat 500e. After shipment from United States, any of these can be a common situation for the Electric Fiat 500e.

The fiat 500e not-charging problem, is an overly discharged high-voltage battery. This means the battery pack is below the operating level. With this problem, time is of the essence. The sooner we wake up the HV battery, the better. If the HV battery remains below 2,8V per cell for more than a few months, it will cause irreparable damage.

47%SOC, Limited Power mode, not ready Fiat500e

We have refined the BEV technology, and are able to achieve really amazing results, which is most evident in the engine performance after regeneration of the HV battery of electric Fiat 500e

Our results of SOH

After rescue dead Fiat 500e our results for SOH can be checked with any PC computer. This test of power is the best proof of our effectiveness. For instance, I’ve reached full pull of 87kW with our last patient. So really there is no sense to search for fiat 500e replacement battery

If you have this problem: Limited Power mode, 47% or 0%SOC, not ready with your Electric Fiat, do not risk damaging the HV battery on your home repair attempt. Thats why, we have biggest experience in Fiat 500e battery regeneration. We can manage to get the minimum degree of degradation of the package!!!

Limited power mode not a problem any more. Above all, check our YouTube channel for more proofs. I also invite you to read the post presenting one of my best fixes of this problem: Can the coronavirus kill a Fiat 500e?

Not charging Fiat 500e
Not charging Fiat 500e and his most common problems with high voltage battery. Our FAQ and solutions for not charging HV battery of Fiat 500e:

The first reason may seem ridiculous. But has already beaten not only one specialist 😉
You have active charge schedule. Fiat 500e charge schedule is very useful if you have a night rate for kWh.
1. Connect charger
2. Press Enter on Instrument Panel Cluster for “charge now”
3. After Key ON disable charge schedule in IPC Menu.
If Car is fresh pick up from port:
1. Requires unlocking after a collision
2. Over discharged HV Battery
Flashing right turn light after turning the ignition means a blocked car after a collision. requires checking and unlocking after an accident.

If Car stay unattended for >= 3 weeks
1. Check 12V Battery condition
2. Over discharged HV Battery
3. Can the coronavirus kill Fiat 500e?
The manufacturer of the Fiat 500e recommends that even in the case of a 2-week vacation, leave the car with the Level I or Level II charger connected.
I don’t like this solution. In my idea better is to remove the HV Fuse if you need to live the car unattended for more then a week.

Check charging cable or just call us as fast as possible.
Not charging Fiat 500e – as you can see the reason can be ridiculous or very serious. And in this serious case time is of the essence! Don’t let Your Fiat 500e die
