Can an EV be a Real Hot Hatch? Fiat 500e Abarth full review

Abarth Fiat 500e Review - is this EV a Real Hot Hatch? In this episode Jonny Smith takes the new electric 152bhp, 7-sec to 62mph, £34,000 Abarth 500e on some British b-roads to see if it feels like a true hot hatch. It makes a lot of noise, but not necessarily in a good way.
