Car Deal of the Day: A stress-free switch to EV - Fiat 600e for £249 with free charger
Making the switch to EV can be daunting, but not with this deal.
- Well-equipped Red specification
- 252-mile range with heat pump
- Just £249 a month plus a free home charger
Love the retro flair and flamboyance of the Fiat 500e but need more space? The Fiat 600e neatly fits this role, marrying both style and practicality in a desirable package. It could be the perfect choice if you're pondering the switch to an electric car but need an extra sweetener to make you take the plunge.
Through the Auto Express Find a Car service, energy supplier Octopus, through its Octopus Electric vehicles division, is offering the retro Fiat for just £249 a month, complete with a free home charger. It means this deal is a ready-to-go option for first time EV drivers.
All that's needed to get the ball rolling on this four-year deal is a £2,988 initial payment. Mileage is capped at 5,000 a year, but this can be doubled to 10,000 per annum for a measly £16 extra a month.
If that's not sweet enough, Octopus Electric Vehicles also throws in a maintenance package, which covers servicing, routine repairs and breakdown cover.
This 600e comes in Red specification, so metallic red paint is thrown in, as is a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, 17-inch diamond-cut alloys, and plenty of red interior detailing. Plus, rather impressively, a heat pump also comes as standard, helping to make the 600e as efficient as possible.
Speaking of efficiency, the 54kWh battery is claimed to give a range of 252 miles, and we've found that to be pretty accurate. A charging speed of 100kW means topping up at roadside chargers should take less than half an hour, too.
The 600e gets a 154bhp electric motor powering the front wheels. It gives pretty decent performance, with 0-62mph taking nine seconds, but the little Fiat is all about comfort. Soft suspension and light steering give a plush, easy-going feel.
