The original 500e is a Type 1 car, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 1 lead. A Type 2 to Type 2 cable will not physically enter the inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eType 1, and no rapid charging socket\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difference is visible rather than technical. Count five pins in a round opening and you have Type 1; count seven with one flattened side and you have Type 2. No adaptor exists that bridges the two, so order to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is also no DC inlet on this car, which puts the entire charging job on the Type 2 to Type 1 lead. A motorway rapid is simply not available to it, and a used one that arrives from a dealer without a cable cannot be charged at all until one turns up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat varies across the {M} range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomestic supplies here are single phase, which puts the practical limit at about 7.4 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe charger is 6.6 kW and single phase, so a British house supplies every watt of it. Do not read a lower number as a worse car. Single phase chargers hand over their full rating here; three phase ones do not, which narrows the gap to very little. and the 32 amp lead is what reaches that figure. On a battery this size that means a full charge inside an evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe socket sits on the offside rear side panel, the driver's side at the back. On a car under four metres long that is manageable in most layouts, though it is the far corner from a charge point mounted on the house wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not confuse this car with the later 500e, which is a Type 2 car with CCS. If yours is a recent registration you want the Type 2 page instead, and the two are easy to tell apart by counting the pins in the socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich length to order\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork out the run, not the car. A socket on the far flank from your charge point adds the width of the vehicle to the distance, and a socket at the opposite end adds its length.

These leads are for the earlier one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2013 to 2019 500e was built for California and Oregon, where zero emission mandates required it, and Fiat said from the start that it had no plans to sell it in Europe. It uses the Type 1 connector, has no DC inlet whatsoever, and carries a 24 kWh battery. Any example in Britain arrived as a private import or through a specialist reseller. If that is your car, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-1-to-type-2-charging-cable\"\u003eType 1 to Type 2 cable\u003c\/a\u003e is what you need, and it is not a product most retailers stock for a Fiat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020-on 500e sold through Fiat UK is a different vehicle: Type 2 with a CCS socket, 24 or 42 kWh, and an 11 kW three phase charger. A Type 1 lead will not fit it. Do one check first: look at the inlet and count the holes. A five pin socket is Type 1 and these leads are the right ones. A seven pin socket is Type 2 and you need a different product. Thirty seconds now saves a return later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the imported car actually does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe onboard charger is a single phase unit of 6.6 kW accepting 6 to 32 amps across a wide voltage range, which is how the same car worked on both 110 and 240 volt supplies in America. On a British 230 volt single phase supply that means the full rate, with no phase arithmetic to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no DC socket, so rapid charging was never available to this car in any market. Rapid chargers are irrelevant here, because there is no DC connector to plug them into. The Type 2 cable does all of the work, which is why a missing one on a used car is a bigger problem than most buyers expect. On a 24 kWh battery that matters less than it would on a bigger car, because the whole pack fills in a few hours, but it does mean the lead is not optional equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 24 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 1, 32A at 6.6 kW, the car maximum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 23 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 1, 16A at 3.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 1 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFigures are calculated rather than quoted: battery divided by power, 13 per cent for losses, quarter hour rounding.
