DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense vs Fiat 600e

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Fiat 600e has the higher published DC charging figure at 100 kW, which is comparable to the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense at 100 kW. In practice, that figure 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 published fast-charge window, the Fiat 600e is listed at about 27 minutes, which is 3 minutes quicker than the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Fiat 600e has a WLTP rated range of approximately 400 km, which is roughly 6 km more than the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense at approximately 394 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 Fiat 600e consumes 164 Wh/km, compared to 169 Wh/km for the DS Automobiles 3 E-Tense. That means the Fiat 600e 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 Fiat 600e has approximately 50.8 kWh of useable battery , matching its rival.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both cars show similar published DC fast-charging figures at 100 kW. For road trips, the one with more range between stops may be more practical.

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 Fiat 600e is the more efficient choice at 164 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Fiat 600e has a WLTP rated range of approximately 400 km, which is roughly 6 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
