Charging
The Abarth 500e can rapid charge at up to 85 kW. That peak only lasts part of a session: averaged from 10% to 80%, it is about 65 kW, about 24 minutes on a fast enough charger.
At home it accepts up to 7.4 kW on AC. On a typical 7 kW wallbox, a full charge from empty takes roughly 5 hours; most top-ups take far less. See charging times, smart EV tariffs and chargers near me.

For the Abarth 500e Hatchback, EV Database estimates these ranges. Cold means about −10°C with the heating on; mild means about 23°C; motorway means a steady 70 mph.
Heat pump: not confirmed. One-stop motorway range with a 15-minute charge: about 153 miles. Try the range reality check or the range map for your own driving.
Running costs
At 10,000 miles a year, charging 80% at home on a smart tariff at 7.6p per kWh and 20% on rapid chargers at 79p, the Abarth 500e Hatchback would use about 3,056 kWh and cost about £669 a year to charge (6.7p a mile). Vehicle tax: £10 in the first year, then £200 a year. From April 2028 the pay-per-mile charge (eVED) is due to add 3p a mile, about £300 a year at 10,000 miles.
