Got A Question?

A pure-electric Abarth

The Abarth range is small because the Italian marque prefers to focus on quality rather than quantity – and the 500e is the automaker's first foray into the electric market.

The Electric Range

New Abarth 500e Abarth’s ever-popular hot hatch now features an all-electric powertrain which delivers 0-62mph in a little more than seven seconds. This means the car’s 149bhp motor offers faster acceleration than any petrol-powered Abarth model. Also, the 500e produces no CO2 emissions whatsoever while offering a range of up to 155 miles.

The benefits of buying an electric Abarth

A pure-electric Abarth offers high levels of performance while being substantially more affordable to run. The 500e is also cheaper to maintain since electric drivetrains feature fewer working parts than combustion-engined models.

Key benefits include:

Eco-friendly performance thanks to zero-emission motoring
Low running and maintenance costs
Super-low Vehicle Excise Duty tariffs
Quicker acceleration
Quieter motoring
Government incentives, and exemption from Clean Air Zone charges

Electric motoring explained The 500e is Abarth’s first foray into the electric motor car market.

Pure Electric An all-electric drivetrain consists of a high-capacity battery which provides an electric motor with energy, enabling it to power the car. The battery requires manual charging, which can be done at home, at work or at one of thousands of UK-wide public access points.
