500e Hatchback 42 kWh

The Fiat 500e Hatchback 42 kWh is a 4-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £20,245. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.0 seconds, slower than 82% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 146 miles (235 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 57th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.9 mi/kWh (159 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 37.3 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 65 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 162 miles (260 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £139 per mile of real-world range, close to the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2020 example is estimated at £4,700–£6,200 and a 2025 one at £11,500–£13,200, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2020 car should still manage about 129 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
