Fiat 500e Electric Car 2020 Official launch | Europe's Best Electric Car | #eCharged

The Fiat 500 has been a city-car icon since the reborn model was launched in 2007. It has been kept relevant mostly with colour and trim upgrades since then, but now it’s time for the biggest revolution in the car’s history: the all-new, all-electric 500.

The car has a 42kWh lithium-ion battery pack – enough to deliver up to 320km (199 miles) of range under the WLTP efficiency test. It powers a 117bhp electric motor that can take the 500 from 0-62mph in nine seconds and on to a top speed of 93mph.

The 500 gets an 85kW DC charger, so the car can be recharged from flat to 80 per cent of capacity in just 35 minutes. A full charge on a 7.4kW home wallbox will take just over six hours, and Fiat also plans to launch its own 3kW home charger, which will be able to be plugged into a domestic socket without requiring professional installation.

The car will let drivers pick from three driving modes. Normal is described by Fiat as being “as close as possible to driving a vehicle with a normal combustion engine”, while Range activates higher levels of brake energy recuperation. This will allow owners to drive the car using only the throttle pedal and anticipating stop situations.

The last mode, Sherpa, preserves as much range as possible, so it limits the top speed to 50mph, blunts throttle response and turns off the climate control and heated seats.
Fiat will launch the 500 in the UK in top spec ‘La Prima’ trim, which including the Government plug-in car grant will be priced at £29,000. Lower trim levels will follow at lower price points
