Fiat 600e now cheaper than petrol sibling with Electric Car Grant
The all-electric Fiat 600e has been approved for the UK Government’s Electric Car Grant (ECG), reducing its list price by £1,500.
With the band 2 ECG added, the entry-level Fiat 600e Pop is now priced from £25,495 – £500 cheaper than its mild hybrid counterpart. As standard, Pop models come with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, rear parking sensors, and a heat pump to help eke out those extra miles during winter.
The Fiat 600e comes with a 54kWh battery delivering a 254-mile range and a 20%-80% charge time of 24 to 28 minutes thanks to a 100kW fast-charging rate.
What’s more, the introduction of the ECG means that the Fiat 600e is cheaper than its main competitor, the Ford Puma Gen-E, which is priced from £26,245 even with the £3,750 Band 1 grant.
Hot hatch fans will be pleased to know that the Government discount also extends to the performance-focused Abarth 600e, an EV-powered favourite and one of our 2025 cars of the year.
As well as a lairy body kit and an equally lurid choice of colours, the Abarth also benefits from a series of noticeable chassis tweaks, and ups the power from 154bhp to between 235bhp and 277bhp depending on variant. With the ECG applied, the Abarth 600e now starts at £32,495.
Fiat UK’s managing director, Kris Cholmondeley, described the price cuts as “another important step in making electric mobility even more accessible to a wider audience”.
“With the Fiat 600e now benefiting from both our recent price repositioning and the Government’s Electric Car Grant, customers can enjoy a compelling price point and great value, with no compromise to stylish, practical electric driving,” he commented.
Alongside the 600e, the 500e, the new Panda Electric, and the Topolino quadricycle, are part of Fiat’s electric-only line-up. The 500e and Panda Electric are both priced from £20,995, making them two of the cheapest EVs on sale in the UK at present.
