{"product_id":"fiat-500e-charging-cable","title":"Fiat 500e Charging Cable","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuick recommendation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the badge before you buy anything. Fiat sells two cars called 500 side by side and only one of them charges. The 500e is the electric one, on a newer body. The 500 Hybrid, sometimes badged Mild Hybrid, is a petrol car with a 48V system and no charging port at all. The 1.2 and TwinAir petrol 500 built from 2007 to 2024 has none either. This is the mistake we see most often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500e sold here from 2021 uses a Type 2 socket and an 11 kW onboard charger whichever battery it has, so there is nothing to look up. Eleven kilowatts is a three phase rating. On a single phase British supply the car settles at 7.4 kW, which is exactly what a 32A cable delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattery size decides the wait, not the cable. The 24 kWh car holds 21.3 kWh usable and reaches full in about 3 hours 15 minutes at 7.4 kW. The 42 kWh car holds 37.3 kWh usable and needs about 5 hours 45 minutes. Action and similar trims use the smaller pack, while Icon and La Prima carry the larger one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a second, older car with the same name. The 500e sold in North America is quoted at 6.6 kW and uses Type 1 rather than Type 2. If yours is that car, the Type 1 cables listed on this page are the right fit. Type 1 is a five pin single phase connector, so no three phase version of it exists and 7.4 kW is its physical ceiling too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth European batteries also support CCS rapid charging, at 50 kW on the 24 kWh car and 85 kW on the 42 kWh, which uses the charge point's own lead. The Abarth 500e and the larger Fiat 600e share the 500e's Type 2 socket and 11 kW charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3 pin lead is genuinely useful on the smaller battery, needing about 10 hours 30 minutes from empty, which one night covers. The 42 kWh car takes over 18 hours on the same lead and is far better served by a wallbox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn length, 5m suits a small car parked alongside its charger. Take 10m for street parking, shared bays, or anywhere the car does not always stop in the same place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery cable carries a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and same-day dispatch on working-day orders placed before 2pm. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and cables ending in a 3 pin plug are IP67.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFiat 500e Charging Times\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFiat 500e 24 kWh, Action and similar, 2021 onwards (21.3 kWh usable)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Charge Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Pin lead (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 hours 30 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUsable overnight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16A cable (5m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 30 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFine, but slower than needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32A cable (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 hours 15 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFiat 500e 42 kWh, Icon and La Prima, 2021 onwards (37.3 kWh usable)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Charge Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to Full\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVerdict\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Pin lead (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 hours 15 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmergency use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16A cable (5m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 hours 30 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow for this battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32A cable (5m \/ 10m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours 45 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFiat 500e Charging Cable FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Fiat 500 Hybrid need a charging cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 500 Hybrid, also badged Mild Hybrid, is a petrol car with a 48V system charged by its own engine, and it has no charging port. Neither does the 1.2 or TwinAir petrol 500 sold from 2007. Only a car badged 500e or Electric plugs in, so read the boot badge first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich socket does the Fiat 500e use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500e sold here from 2021 uses Type 2, with an 11 kW onboard charger. A British home is single phase, so the car draws 7.4 kW there and fills the 21.3 kWh usable version in about 3 hours 15 minutes. The older North American 500e uses Type 1 instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does a Fiat 500e take to charge?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 7.4 kW, about 3 hours 15 minutes for the 21.3 kWh usable car and about 5 hours 45 minutes for the 37.3 kWh usable one. A 16A cable stretches those to roughly 6 hours 30 minutes and 11 hours 30 minutes. A 3 pin lead needs 10 hours 30 minutes or 18 hours 15 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs my 500e the 24 kWh or the 42 kWh car?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe badge states it, and trim is a reliable clue: Action and similar sit on 21.3 kWh usable, while Icon and La Prima carry 37.3 kWh usable. Both have the same 11 kW charger and the same Type 2 socket, so only the time on charge separates them, by roughly two and a half hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the 6.6 kW Fiat 500e?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat figure belongs to the older 500e sold in North America, not to the European car. It is a Type 1 vehicle rather than Type 2, which is why the cables on this page end in a Type 1 plug. Type 1 is a five pin single phase connector, so 7.4 kW is its physical limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich cable length suits a Fiat 500e?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5m reaches a wallbox on the wall the car parks beside, which suits something this small. 10m earns its place if you park on the street, share a bay with neighbours, or want enough slack to plug in whichever way round the 500e has been left that evening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 1 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":57427113935228,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T1-10M-FIAT-500E-1","price":269.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 1 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":57427113967996,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T1-5M-FIAT-500E-1","price":215.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 1 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427114000764,"sku":"EVPOW-T1-T2-10M-32AMP-FIAT-500E","price":172.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 1 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":57427114033532,"sku":"EVPOW-T1-T2-10M-16AMP-FIAT-500E","price":130.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 1 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":57427114066300,"sku":"EVPOW-T1-T2-5M-32AMP-FIAT-500E","price":140.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/3356\/6903\/files\/459a7d7d06636c83db0d285b40b957de.jpg?v=1788990510","url":"https:\/\/wareleads.co.uk\/products\/fiat-500e-charging-cable","provider":"Ware Leads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
