With a reminiscent style that is a tribute to the original FIAT 500 of the 1950s, the 2024 FIAT 500e has been reimagined for the electric vehicle age. Currently available in the US market, with 1.1 billion miles of proven reliability on European roads, this zippy, agile, 2-door subcompact hatchback is ideal for the tight maneuvering and stop-and-go driving of the urban environment.
Italian Styling for the Modern Cityscape
Featuring a unique, fun, and charming body style that hearkens back to the days of the earliest European subcompacts, the all-electric 500e has an unmistakable sense of Italian style, with a body-matching dashboard, trim color, and seat piping. Enhancements to efficiency, functionality, and reliability breathe new life into this line of electric vehicles, with the needs of the urban driver first in mind.
With an emphasis on high-speed, cost-efficient battery charging, and various drive modes that balance range and performance, combined with reliable safety features and industry-leading connectivity, the FIAT 500e has a lot to offer as an all-around-town daily driver.
Battery Performance
The FIAT 500e features a battery with a 42-kWh capacity, capable of charging at up to 400 volts for a top rate of 85 kilowatts. In practical terms, this means that powering up at a Type-1 public charging station restores 80% of the battery life in about 35 minutes. For those using an in-home Level-2 recharging station (included with any new vehicle purchase), a 100% top-off is ready in about 5 hours and is good for a range of 162 miles in the city.
The electrical components of the battery are covered by a standard factory warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles, accompanied by an industry-standard 4-year, 50,000-mile limited and powertrain warranty.
Multiple Driving Modes
Covering a range of circumstances, the FIAT 500e can be set to one of three different drive modes that lean more towards performance or range preservation. In Normal mode, the 500e gets full access to the appreciable 3.1 seconds to 30mph burst of acceleration, giving your car the feel of a conventional combustion engine.
For greater efficiency, your car can be set to Range mode, which also enables a fun and innovative one-pedal regenerative braking feature, controlling both acceleration and smooth stopping using only the accelerator pedal. In Sherpa mode, the 500e maximizes range retention by capping top speed at 50mph and shutting down unessential auxiliary systems and climate control to ensure you reach your next charging destination.
Enhanced Connectivity
Featuring standard Integrated Voice Command, the FIAT 500e employs a 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen navigation display that is seamlessly compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and has built-in Alexa wireless integration. It also includes a genuinely useful mobile app, allowing you to monitor your current charge status, estimate remaining recharge time to full battery, and display a map of nearby charging stations and remaining range.
