Overview
The Fiat 500e takes Italy's most iconic city car and turns it fully electric, retaining all of the original's charm while adding modern tech and zero-emission running. The larger 42kWh battery delivers up to 199 miles of WLTP range in the combined cycle and around 287 miles in city driving, which is where the 500e feels most at home. Its 118hp motor accelerates from 0-62mph in about 9.0 seconds, while DC fast charging at up to 85kW restores 10-80 per cent in roughly 35 minutes. Inside, the retro-styled cabin is a delight, with a large central touchscreen, stylish fabrics and clever storage in a compact footprint that makes urban parking effortless. With the Electric Car Grant available and prices starting from around £21,000, the 500e is a fashion-forward, characterful choice for drivers who want their electric runabout to make a statement.Want the full picture?
