The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has rated the battery-electric Fiat 500e's highway-cycle performance at 108 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent). EPA testing also has indicated that, when fully charged, the zero-emissions vehicle will travel about 87 miles.
In addition, the EPA estimates the annual cost to power the Fiat 500e is $500. The estimate is calculated by factoring electricity price projections into 15,000 miles of travel at a vehicle's combined city/highway performance rating. The Fiat 500e has a 116-MPGe city/highway rating; its city-cycle rating is 122 MPGe.

EPA testing estimates the vehicle’s energy-consumption rate at just 29 kWh per 100 miles. Further, the Fiat 500e scores a perfect "10" on two EPA scales that reward vehicles for low tailpipe emissions.
The 2013 500e builds on the Fiat brand's small-car formula, while adding an all-new, battery-electric powertrain that produces 111 hp. It recharges in less than four hours with its Level 2 (240V) onboard charging module (OBCM).
