- 116 MPGe combined efficiency
- Front-wheel drive
- 6.2-hour charge time at 240 volts
Watch for
- Minicompact body limits the vehicle's size
- 149-mile range may not fit longer trips
- 6.2-hour 240-volt charging requires planning
Who it suits. Drivers with daily trips within its 149-mile range Buyers seeking a small front-wheel-drive EV Owners able to use 240-volt charging
Choose the 500e when your driving pattern works within 149 miles per charge and you can plan around a 6.2-hour 240-volt recharge. Its 116 MPGe combined figure and 29.18 kWh-per-100-miles use describe how efficiently it moves. The EPA's $650 annual fuel-cost estimate offers a simple yearly reference. This is a focused minicompact EV rather than a long-distance option, so your regular mileage and charging access should decide whether it fits.
What it is
The 2026 Fiat 500e is a minicompact car powered by electricity. It uses front-wheel drive, an 87 kW DCPM motor, and an automatic transmission.
The numbers
Its defining EPA figure is a 149-mile driving range. That is the estimated distance on a full charge. Combined efficiency is 116 MPGe, with energy use of 29.18 kWh per 100 miles.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates $650 in annual fuel cost. The 29.18 kWh-per-100-miles figure shows how much electricity the 500e uses over distance. Charging at 240 volts takes 6.2 hours.
How it compares
Use the 500e's 149-mile range when weighing electric cars by range. Its 116 MPGe rating gives you a separate efficiency figure to consider in electric cars by efficiency. Fiat shoppers can browse Fiat cars for other models.
Who it suits
This car suits a driver whose regular trips fit within a 149-mile EPA range and who can allow 6.2 hours for a 240-volt charge. Its minicompact body also fits buyers seeking a small electric car.
Trade-offs
The 500e reports 116 MPGe and 29.18 kWh per 100 miles, while its range is limited to 149 EPA miles. A 240-volt full charge takes 6.2 hours, so charging time matters for your routine.
Verdict
The 500e is a small electric choice centered on short-to-moderate trips. Its 149-mile range sets the boundary for each charge, while 116 MPGe describes its combined efficiency. The $650 EPA annual fuel-cost estimate gives you a yearly benchmark, and the 6.2-hour 240-volt charge time helps gauge whether home charging fits your schedule. Choose it when compact size and electric operation align with your daily driving distance.
