Fiat launched its first 100% electric vehicle with the Fiat 500e model, which is now in its second year of presence in the global market as part of the brand’s transition towards electric mobility.
The new Fiat 500e offers as its main novelty an electric powertrain. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 42 kWh that feeds a propellant capable of generating a power of 87 kW or 118 Hp with a torque of 220 Nm.
Regarding the autonomy, the data sheet indicates that it can travel 330 km, but the brand pointed out that a mainly urban use and with a quiet style, could reach 460 km.
In order to improve performance, it has three driving modes, prioritizing more dynamism or energy economy.
On recharging time, the Italian firm indicated that it achieves up to 50 km in 5 minutes on ultrafast chargers (up to 85 kW) and in 35 minutes reaches 80% of the total battery in the same type of installation. Now, on an 11 kW charger, the time can reach 6 hours.
