Range and it's variables
Speed factor
Speed is the main factor which impacts battery range. By driving smoothly and adhering to speed limits, you can avoid excessive energy use.
Driving habits matter
Eco-driving is key to maximizing the range of electric vehicles. Smooth acceleration and gentle braking reduce energy consumption, while the regenerative braking function adds charge as you drive. Combined, these good habits can increase range by 15%-20%.
Cabin temperature and range
The weather can reduce range by up to 40%, depending on the level of heating or cooling required in the cabin. In the cold, pre- conditioning the cabin temperature using the MY FIAT APP whilst the car is still plugged in is an effective way to improve range.
FIAT App
The FIAT smartphone app offers you a broad range of services so that you can stay connected to your vehicle and bring your digital world on board.

Here you'll be able to find out everything you need to know about recharging and autonomy of your electric car
What is the maximum range?
The maximum range varies based on the model and sometimes the trim level. The 600 electric has a range of up to 254 miles Combined WLTP cycle, that can increase to up to 374 miles in Urban cycle. The New 500 electric 87kW can reach up 199 miles in Combined WLTP cycle, whilst the 500e electric 70kW can reach up 118 miles in Combined WLTP cycle.
Check the video to know more about the 500 electric’s range and other driving modes that can enhance your
autonomy, such as the "Sherpa".
The range and electric consumption figures mentioned comply with the WLTP test procedure, on the basis of which new vehicles are type approved from 1 September 2018. They may vary depending on actual conditions of use and on different factors such as: vehicle load, accessories fitted (post registration), speed, thermal comfort on board the vehicle, driving style and outside temperature. The charging time depends in particular on the power of the charger on board the vehicle, the charging cable and the type and power of the charging station used. Please contact your Fiat Retailer for further information.
Braking is the new recharging
The regenerative braking technology uses the vehicle kinetic energy when you're not using the accelerator. By gently slowing down, the energy produced can be used straight away or stored in the battery. Such technology is available on the new Topolino, the new 600 and the 500e.
