Abarth 600e – MPG and running costs
Efficiency is far from best in class. Combine this with a relatively small battery pack and overall range is lower than most of its rivals
One of the 600e’s biggest downfalls is its range, as while it has all of this extra performance, its 54kWh (51 usable) battery pack is no larger than that of an ordinary Fiat 600e. The result is a 207-mile WLTP combined range estimate, which is likely to drop in real world use.
Our time in the 600e saw charge drop by well over 10 per cent on a short 10 minute spirited run, with average efficiency of just above 1 mile/kWh. While this was hardly an everyday drive, this goes some way to proving how poor the range can be when using the performance on offer.
