Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Fiat 500e Hatchback 24 kWh. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
Europe
Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Fiat 500e Hatchback 24 kWh can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Fiat 500e Hatchback 24 kWh.

About this Vehicle
Fiat 500e Hatchback 24 kWh Overview
The Fiat 500e Hatchback 24 kWh positions itself as an affordable, stylish city car in the budget EV segment, ideal for urban commuters seeking a compact electric vehicle with Italian flair. This three-door hatchback targets young professionals, city dwellers, and first-time EV buyers who prioritize maneuverability over long-haul capability. Built on Fiat’s dedicated EV platform, it features a retro-modern design philosophy with a pint-sized footprint, making it perfect for tight parking and zipping through traffic. Key distinguishing features include a front-wheel-drive setup, one-pedal driving, and essential tech like a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, though base models opt for a smartphone holder instead of a full infotainment screen.
In the broader EV landscape, the Fiat 500e Hatchback 24 kWh stands out as a charming entry-level option amid larger electric SUVs and sedans. Its EV specs emphasize efficiency for short trips, with a WLTP range suited to daily commutes under 100 miles. As part of Fiat’s electrification push, this Fiat 500e review highlights its role in making premium styling accessible, competing in the micro-EV niche against pricier alternatives. With wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on higher trims and eco-leather options, it blends fun design with practical electric vehicle range for eco-conscious urbanites.
Fiat 500e Hatchback 24 kWh Performance and Driving Experience
The Fiat 500e Hatchback 24 kWh delivers peppy urban performance with its 111-horsepower electric motor and 199 Nm (147 lb-ft) of instant torque, providing adequate acceleration for city streets via front-wheel drive. It sprints from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 9.5 seconds, with a top speed of 137 km/h (85 mph), emphasizing agile handling over outright speed. Three drive modes—Normal, Range, and Sherpa—optimize dynamics, with Sherpa aggressively preserving battery for efficiency.
