We drive and review the all new Abarth 500e Turismo and take it around some beautiful twisty roads here in the UK to see just how good it is…. or isn’t?
Watch on to see what we think and let us know what you think or ask us anything you can think of that you want answering

Pricing
The Abarth 500e has a Recommend Base Retail Price (RRP) of £36,364-£40000 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £37,195 - £40500. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Abarth 500e is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Abarth 500e is 114 kW (153 hp). The maximum torque is 173 lb-ft. The Abarth 500e is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 7.0 seconds. The top speed is 96 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Abarth 500e has a total capacity of 42.2 kWh. The usable capacity is 37.8 kWh. An estimated range of about 140 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.
For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 100 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 210 mi.
Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 4 hours 15 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 6 hours and a charge rate of 23 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 19 hours 30 minutes.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 85 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 67 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 25 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 95 miles of range.
Energy Consumption
The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Abarth 500e Convertible is about 270 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 150 mpg in a traditional petrol car.
The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 378 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 180 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Abarth 500e emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
