Energy consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP-rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
The maximum speed the EV can charge at home or a public AC charger.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Some public chargers (such as at motor camps and shopping malls) are also AC only.
Fast Charge β‘
The maximum speed the EV can charge at a DC fast charger.
Speed is also limited by the capacity of the public charger. In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Temperature (20Β°+ is ideal) and battery state-of-charge affect speed (an empty battery charges faster).
The original Fiat 500 was an iconic hatchback first appearing in the late 1950s. A compliance electric version (called the 500e) came to market from 2013 until 2019 (although it was never sold in New Zealand).
This newer Fiat 500e was available in NZ from 2023.

A taste of Italy! Driving the Fiat 500E
"I genuinely enjoy and love this car; it is such a cool little electric vehicle that has so much of that Italian charm the presence you'd expect from a kind of retro-modern classic type vehicle, but it's actually pretty practical. It has really good electric vehicle drivetrain and great technology."
Be careful what you wish for β The all-electric FIAT 500e review
"The new Fiat 500e is the best 500 in virtually every way, bar its personality. Itβs quicker, more confident, better in the corners, quieter and offers far more technology, however, I couldnβt help but feel that it lacked the impiness and annoying quirks of the older model. The temperamental gearbox, the engine note, the rattles β maybe the 500e is too good?"
"Although it doesn't have as much power (much less power than the Mini Electric in fact), I'm kind of drawn towards this one because it's just more fun. It's more adorable, it's even easier to park in the city. That turning circle is ridiculous."
