Fiat 500e Cabrio EV charger: which one fits best?

The Fiat 500e Cabrio is the same compact city car as the closed 500e, but with an open roof for sunny drives. Under the body sits exactly the same technology. A 42 kWh battery charges at home at up to 11 kW alternating current (AC) through a Type 2 connection. The open roof changes nothing about your charger choice. You simply pick a good 11 kW wallbox that tops up the battery overnight. Want to line up the versions first? See the Fiat 500e EV charger or all Fiat EV chargers.

For the Fiat 500e Cabrio we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Charging specifications of the Fiat 500e Cabrio

Which charger fits the Fiat 500e Cabrio?

Because the Cabrio charges at 11 kW at home, you choose an 11 kW charger on a three-phase connection. Three-phase means the power comes in over three wires at once, so you charge faster than on a regular single-phase supply. A 22 kW charger adds nothing here, as the car's onboard charger tops out at 11 kW.

Almost every charger we recommend has a built-in MID meter, a certified kWh meter that logs exactly how much you charge. That matters for more than business drivers. From 2026 in the Netherlands only, private owners can reclaim up to 500 euro a year through their energy supplier. This works only with a MID meter. Even outside that scheme, a certified meter gives you an exact record for splitting costs with an employer or lease company.

A charger with dynamic load balancing shares the available power with the rest of your home, so the fuses never trip. For a simple starting point, browse our home EV chargers.

How long does the Fiat 500e Cabrio take to charge?

With an 11 kW charger you fill the Cabrio from empty to full in about 4 hours. That figure includes charging losses, so it sits a little above the raw sum of capacity divided by power. A 22 kW charger makes no difference, because the onboard charger will not go beyond 11 kW. For an open car that rhythm works well. After a day out with the roof down, you plug in overnight and wake up to a full battery. On the road, the 500e Cabrio fast-charges on DC at up to 85 kW. That takes roughly 25 minutes from 10 to 80 percent. The car uses a Type 2 connection, like nearly every modern charger. To charge away from home you need a separate type 2 charging cable.

Other versions of the Fiat 500e

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

• Fiat 500e Berlina 42 kWh, the closed version with the same battery
• Fiat 500e Berlina 24 kWh, a smaller battery and shorter range
• Fiat 500e 3+1, with an extra door on the passenger side

Frequently asked questions

Does the Fiat 500e Cabrio charge differently from the closed 500e?

No, the open roof changes nothing about charging. The Cabrio has the same 42 kWh battery and the same 11 kW onboard charger as the Berlina 42 kWh. So you pick the same 11 kW charger and get the same charging time of about 4 hours.

Can I quickly top up the Fiat 500e Cabrio on the road?

Yes. Besides charging at home on 11 kW, the 500e Cabrio charges on a public DC fast charger at up to 85 kW. That takes about 25 minutes from 10 to 80 percent, handy on a longer trip. At home, 11 kW stays the logical choice: fast enough for daily use and matched to this car's onboard charger.

Should I have the charger installed by a professional?

We always recommend having the connection done by a qualified electrician. It is safer and important for your insurance.
