Fiat 500e Berlina 42 kWh EV charger: which one fits best?

The Fiat 500e Berlina with the 42 kWh battery charges at home at up to 11 kW. It does that on alternating current, through a Type 2 connection. That is the practical ceiling: a 22 kW charger adds nothing, because the on-board charger stops at 11 kW. Want to compare the versions first?

Charging specifications of the Fiat 500e Berlina 42 kWh

Which EV charger fits the Fiat 500e Berlina 42 kWh?

Because this 500e charges at 11 kW, you pick an 11 kW charger on a three-phase supply. Three-phase power means the current arrives over three wires at once. That charges faster than a single-phase connection. Do you only have single phase at home? Then a 7.4 kW charger already gives you the full speed your connection allows.

Look for a charger with a built-in MID meter, a certified kWh meter that records exactly what you charge. From 2026, private drivers in the Netherlands earn back up to 500 euros a year through their energy supplier. That works only with a certified meter, and the scheme applies in the Netherlands only. In other countries the certified reading is still what your employer or leasing company wants to see.

Start with the 11 kW EV chargers, or with the 7.4 kW EV chargers if your home is single-phase. The 500e is a small city car that charges overnight. That makes app control the feature that pays off: you shift charging to the cheapest hours.

The certified meter is a filter of its own in the chargers with a MID meter. For a first installation without complications, the home chargers are the simplest place to start.

We always advise having the connection made by a certified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. You can arrange the installation through Wallbox Discounter in the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium. For Germany you request a free quotation first. We ship worldwide, but in other countries you arrange a local electrician yourself.

How long does the Fiat 500e Berlina 42 kWh take to charge?

On an 11 kW charger you count on about 4 hours from empty to full. Plug the car in around 23:00 and it is ready in the morning without any planning. On a single-phase 32 A connection the same charge takes about 6 hours. On the road the 500e takes up to 85 kW at a DC fast charger. That is roughly 25 minutes from 10 to 80 percent.

The 500e uses a Type 2 connection, like almost every modern charger. You only need a separate type 2 charging cable if you want to charge away from home. At home you charge through the socket or the fixed cable of the charger itself.

Other versions of the Fiat 500e

Wallbox Discounter also has charging information for the other versions of the Fiat 500e:

• Fiat 500e Berlina 24 kWh, smaller battery and a shorter range
• Fiat 500e Cabrio, the open version of the 500e

Frequently asked questions

Does the Fiat 500e Berlina 42 kWh need a three-phase connection?

You need three phases of 16 A to reach the full 11 kW. On a single-phase 32 A connection the car charges at 7.4 kW, which fills the battery in about 6 hours. On a lighter single-phase 16 A group the charging power drops to 3.7 kW.

Why does a MID meter matter on this 500e?

A MID meter records your charging accurately and to a certified standard. Employers and leasing companies accept those readings, so you can settle your home charging. It also shows what the car used, separate from the rest of your household. Dutch drivers need one for the national scheme that starts in 2026.

Should I have the charger installed by an electrician?

We always advise it. A certified electrician checks your fuse box and connects the charger safely, which also matters for your insurance. In the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium you can order the charger including installation. For Germany you request a free quotation first.
