Charging curve
Maximum power the 500e accepts at each state of charge. The curve drops sharply above 80%, which is why most rapid-charging sessions end there.

About this battery
The Fiat 500e's charging behaviour above is derived from its cell chemistry and pack architecture using our own model — not copied from a third-party test database. Here's what's inside the pack and why it produces the curve you see.

Pre-2024 Fiat 500e units use CATL NMC cells. Refreshed 2024+ units have moved to LFP in some markets. Mapping is provisional — Fiat specifications vary between EU production batches.
