Fiat 500e EV charger: overview per version

The current Fiat 500e comes with a 24 kWh or a 42 kWh battery. For your EV charger that makes little difference. Every modern 500e charges at home at up to 11 kW AC through a Type 2 connection. The battery decides your range and your charging time, not the charger you need. Our overview of all Fiat EV chargers covers the other models Fiat builds.

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

Versions of the Fiat 500e

Which EV charger suits the Fiat 500e?

Every 500e takes a maximum of 11 kW on board. A three-phase 11 kW charger therefore gets the most out of it. Three-phase means the charger uses all three power wires of your connection at once, which is what makes it quick. On a single-phase supply the car charges at a lower power, so check your meter cupboard before you order.

The 42 kWh battery is full in about 4 hours, the 24 kWh version in around 2.5 hours, charging losses included. A 22 kW charger adds nothing here, because the car never draws more than 11 kW. So 11 kW is the logical choice, not the most powerful unit you can find.

Pick a charger with a built-in MID meter if you can. That is a certified kWh meter, and it records exactly how much you charge at home. You then know what charging your car costs, separately from the rest of your household use. The choice is still small at this power level, so compare our EV chargers with a MID meter before you decide. A 22 kW model with the meter works on your 500e too, it simply will not charge it any faster.

A connected charger with its own app is worth a look as well. You start and stop a session from your phone, and on most models you can shift charging to a cheaper night rate. You will find them under EV chargers with an app.

Not sure where to begin? Our home chargers bring together the models made for a garage or a carport, including the 11 kW EV chargers that suit this car.

We arrange installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Outside those three countries we ship your charger but we do not install it. We always advise having the connection done by a qualified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance, so read our installation page before you order.

The Fiat 600e is the larger electric Fiat and has its own charging page.

Frequently asked questions about the Fiat 500e

What charging power does the Fiat 500e have at home?

The current versions of the Fiat 500e charge at home at up to 11 kW AC through a Type 2 connection. That applies to the 24 kWh battery as well as the 42 kWh one. An 11 kW charger uses that fully, and a more powerful one adds nothing. On a single-phase supply the car charges at a lower power.

What is the difference in charging time between the 24 and 42 kWh?

At 11 kW the large 42 kWh battery goes from empty to full in about 4 hours. The 24 kWh version takes around 2.5 hours. Both figures include charging losses. The smaller battery is quicker to fill, but it also gives you less range. That is roughly 190 km against about 320 km for the 42 kWh.

Does the Fiat 500e need a MID meter?

The car itself does not, but your charger benefits from one. A MID meter is an officially calibrated kWh meter, so it shows exactly how many kilowatt hours went into your car at home. That keeps your charging cost separate from your household bill, which is why we recommend it as standard.
