It decides everything\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two completely different electric Fiat 500s and they take different cables. 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. The miles column uses 3.5 miles per kWh, which holds up in winter as well as summer. The pack is quoted as 24 kWh with no usable figure published, so the table works from the full figure and real times run a little shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder five hours from empty at the car's own maximum, and about twelve from a three pin socket. For a car of this size and age those are easy numbers to live with, and they are the reason an imported 500e is more practical as a second car than its range alone suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for a 500e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket is on the offside rear side panel, which is also where Fiat put it on the later European car.

Pace it out from the socket to the flap with the car parked as it always is, then allow a little extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow these cables are built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade to IEC 62196-2, CE marked, and rated IP55 from -30C to +50C so it lives outdoors all year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree pin construction follows IEC 62752, CE marked, IP67 rated, usable from -30C to +60C.
