Reservations open for electric Fiat 500 hatchback

The new Fiat 500 ‘la Prima’ electric hatchback has opened its order books today.

The electric Fiat 500 has a range of 199 miles and comes with an easyWallbox, a home charging system with up to 3kW of charging power, without the need for professional installation.

The easyWallbox can be upgraded to 7.4kW, providing a full charge at home in just over six hours. The New 500 also comes with a Mode 3 cable for charging at up to 11kW from a public charge point.

The lithium-ion batteries, with a capacity of 42kWh, give the New 500 a range of up to 199 miles in the WLTP cycle. To optimise charging time, the New 500 is equipped with an 85kW fast charge system. It takes only five minutes to build up a sufficient energy reserve to travel 30 miles, more than the average daily commute. Using a fast charger can also power the battery to 80% in just 35 minutes. The Combo 2 socket, located on the rear right side panel of the car, has the ability to accept both AC and DC charging.

The New 500 ‘la Prima’ hatchback is priced at £26,995 including Plug-in Car Grant (PiCG) and easyWallbox fitment.
