Early Fiat 500 electric conversions

I have been able to track down a couple of early examples of Fiat 500 electric conversions.


These date back to 1990 / 2007 / 2008.

I did remember watching one of these videos on Youtube a few years back. Was funny to see this little car driving through the narrow lanes of an Italian village.

1990 *

Enjoy.

* We know that there is a newspaper article in New Zealand about this car, but we couldn't find more about it. We also know it was a retirement project, completed in 1990 in New Zealand.
Was used regularly for four years, but never registered as an EV.
It used a Vampire jet aircraft starter motor with lead acid batteries lasted about an hour on a charge and had 'a ton of torque'.

This car was probably called Fiat Bambina as it was the name used in New Zealand and probably originally assembled there from Torino Motors.
