Charging Speed
The Kia EV2 has a peak DC charging speed of 120 kW, which is roughly 20% faster than the Abarth 600e at 100 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Kia EV2 finishes in about 27 minutes, roughly matching the Abarth 600e. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Kia EV2 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 400 km, which is roughly 51 km more than the Abarth 600e at approximately 349 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Kia EV2 consumes 171 Wh/km, compared to 181 Wh/km for the Abarth 600e. That means the Kia EV2 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Kia EV2 has approximately 58 kWh of useable battery , while the Abarth 600e has approximately 51 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the Kia EV2 wins on both peak power (up to 120 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 27 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Kia EV2 is the more efficient choice at 171 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Kia EV2 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 400 km, which is roughly 51 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
