Description:

The Fiat 500e is a fully electric version of the iconic Fiat 500, designed primarily for urban mobility. Reintroduced to the U.S. market in 2024, it emphasizes compact design, simplicity, and European charm over raw power or high-range capabilities.

Range and Battery of the Fiat 500e:

  • Equipped with a 42 kWh lithium-ion battery (37.3 kWh usable capacity).

  • Official WLTP-rated electric range is approximately 320 km, but real-world mixed driving range averages closer to 240–270 km.

  • Level 2 (AC) charging supports up to 11 kW, taking about 4–4.5 hours for a full charge.

  • DC fast charging (Level 3) supports up to 85 kW, recharging from 0–80% in about 35 minutes.

  • The car uses a CCS Combo Type 2 port for both AC and DC charging.

Powertrain and Performance of the Fiat 500e:

  • Powered by a single front-mounted electric motor producing 87 kW (117 hp) and 220 Nm of torque.

  • 0–100 km/h acceleration takes approximately 9.0 seconds, making it suitable for city driving rather than spirited performance.

  • Top speed is electronically limited to around 150 km/h.

  • Regenerative braking is available with multiple levels, including a one-pedal driving mode for enhanced energy recovery.

  • The vehicle rides on a relatively soft suspension tuned more for comfort than dynamic handling, and steering is notably light.

Technology and Features of the Fiat 500e:

  • Features a 10.25-inch Uconnect infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

  • Digital 7-inch driver instrument cluster provides key vehicle data.

  • Includes advanced driver assistance such as lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and adaptive cruise control.

  • Interior uses eco-friendly materials including recycled fabrics and minimalistic Italian design elements.

  • Offers multiple driving modes (Normal, Range, and Sherpa) to tailor performance and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Fiat 500e offers an official electric range of 227 km (WLTP) across all three trims: Red, La Prima, and Giorgio Armani. In real-world city driving, many drivers report ranges closer to 200–230 km, but this can decrease to 160–180 km with frequent highway use or cold weather.
Using a Level 2 home charger, the Fiat 500e charges fully in about 6 hours. At a Level 3 DC fast charger, it can charge from 0% to 80% in approximately 35 minutes thanks to its 85 kW peak charging capability.
The Fiat 500e features a 42 kWh battery, 88 kW electric motor, and 220 Nm of torque, enabling 0–100 km/h in 9 seconds. Its top speed is 150 km/h, making it suitable for city and moderate highway use.
The Fiat 500e includes three drive modes: Normal: Standard driving response. Range: Enables strong regenerative braking and one-pedal driving. Sherpa: Limits speed and power to maximize range in emergencies.
All trims of the Fiat 500e include a 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, and Level 2 driver assistance features like lane centering and adaptive cruise control.
While the Fiat 500e can reach 150 km/h, it’s optimized for city and suburban use. Its compact size and responsive torque make it agile in traffic, but limited range and wind noise at high speeds may impact long-distance highway usability.
Compared to rivals like the Mini Electric and Honda e, the Fiat 500e stands out for its premium interior, Italian styling, and advanced ADAS tech. However, it has a slightly smaller cargo area and shorter range than some competitors.
The Fiat 500e retains the iconic 500 design while introducing modern EV styling. It features a 3+1 door layout (on select versions), panoramic roof options, and upscale interior materials in trims like the Giorgio Armani edition.
Red: CAD $39,995 La Prima: CAD $42,995 Giorgio Armani: CAD $45,995 All include the same powertrain and range, differing primarily in interior materials and feature sets.
Yes. The Fiat 500e is well-suited to first-time electric vehicle drivers thanks to its compact size, simple charging, intuitive tech, and affordable price. It’s particularly ideal for urban dwellers or those with a short daily commute.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

Its small footprint and tight turning circle make the Fiat 500e excellent for urban driving and easy parking, a consistent highlight in expert test drives.
The Fiat 500e features improved aerodynamics (Cd ≈ 0.311), aerodynamic wheels and subtle restyling (front grille, rear spoiler, diffuser) which reduces drag and adds efficiency—praised in reviews and vehicle tests.
With 88 kW output and 220 Nm torque, the Fiat 500e accelerates 0–100 km/h in ~9 seconds—enough for smooth urban acceleration while keeping ride refined.
The 42 kWh battery delivers an estimated 227 km range (WLTP intro spec), aligning with many reviewers’ experiences of ~230 km in mixed driving—suitable for daily city commutes.
Capable of Level 3 charging at up to ~85 kW, the Fiat 500e can regain ~80 % battery in around 35 minutes—considered a reliable quick-charge ability for spontaneous travel.
Reviewers noted the high-quality finish inside: a new dashboard shape, TFT instrument display, and modern controls (drive buttons replacing gear lever) give it a premium feel despite city-car origins.
Equipped with features like lane‑keep assist, fatigue alert, and 360° camera systems, it’s cited in forums as safe and well-defined in semi-autonomous support, echoing expert praise.

Cons

Several reviewers and owners note that back seats are cramped, making the Fiat 500e impractical for adult passengers or long journeys—typical of its subcompact class.
With Canadian trim-level MSRPs of CAD 39,995 (Red), 42,995 (La Prima), and 45,995 (Giorgio Armani), it's more expensive than some alternatives offering longer range or larger cabins, a concern often mentioned.
While urban driving can yield roughly 230 km range, highway speeds and colder weather notably reduce efficiency—several forum owners report real-world highway range closer to ~180–200 km.
Electronically capped at 150 km/h, the Fiat 500e is less suited to frequent motorway driving—viewed by reviewers as a trade-off for its city-focused design.
Unlike some EVs, the Fiat 500e lacks a front storage compartment; trunk space is compact, limiting practicality for weekend trips—a point often raised in owner feedback.
