Fiat 500e versions and prices

Guide prices checked October 2026 and may already include the Electric Car Grant. Real-world range is EV Database's typical estimate; the official WLTP figure is higher. Always confirm the price with the seller.

Charging

The Fiat 500e can rapid charge at up to 85 kW. That peak only lasts part of a session: averaged from 10% to 80%, it is about 65 kW, about 25 minutes on a fast enough charger.

At home it accepts up to 11 kW on AC. On a typical 7 kW wallbox, a full charge from empty takes roughly 5 hours; most top-ups take far less. Its CCS plug is on the right side, rear. See charging times, smart EV tariffs and chargers near me.

Real-world range

For the Fiat 500e Hatchback 42 kWh, EV Database estimates these ranges. Cold means about −10°C with the heating on; mild means about 23°C; motorway means a steady 70 mph.

Heat pump: no. One-stop motorway range with a 15-minute charge: about 162 miles. Try the range reality check or the range map for your own driving.

Running costs

At 10,000 miles a year, charging 80% at home on a smart tariff at 7.6p per kWh and 20% on rapid chargers at 79p, the Fiat 500e Hatchback 42 kWh would use about 2,821 kWh and cost about £617 a year to charge (6.2p a mile). Vehicle tax: £10 in the first year, then £200 a year. From April 2028 the pay-per-mile charge (eVED) is due to add 3p a mile, about £300 a year at 10,000 miles.

Electric Car Grant

All versions are on the Electric Car Grant list, in Band 1 (£3,750). The seller applies the grant as a discount. Confirm the exact version and price before you order. See the Electric Car Grant and EV tax.
