New Fiat 500 “la Prima” hatchback
Range and charging times are two key issues for customers. The lithium-ion batteries with 42 kWh capacity give the New 500 a range of up to 320 km in the WLTP cycle.
To optimize charging time, the New 500 enables DC fast charge at up to 85 kW, to recharge the battery very quickly. For example, it takes only 5 minutes to build up enough of an energy reserve to travel 50 kilometers, more than necessary for average daily use. And fast charge can also replenish the battery to 80% in just 35 minutes. The “Combo 2” smart socket located on the rear right side panel of the car enables both AC and DC charging. We call it a 'smart’ socket because of its programmable charging schedule and provision of feedback on the car’s charge status. Home charging solutions are also available.
