Fiat 500e vs Hyundai INSTER

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Hyundai INSTER has the higher published DC charging figure at 85 kW, which is comparable to the Fiat 500e at 85 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 500e is listed at about 25 minutes, which is 4 minutes quicker than the Hyundai INSTER at 29 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Hyundai INSTER has a WLTP rated range of approximately 370 km, which is roughly 37 km more than the Fiat 500e at approximately 333 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 500e consumes 140 Wh/km, compared to 149 Wh/km for the Hyundai INSTER. That means the Fiat 500e 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 Hyundai INSTER has approximately 46 kWh of useable battery , while the Fiat 500e has approximately 37.3 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both cars show similar published DC fast-charging figures at 85 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 500e is the more efficient choice at 140 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Hyundai INSTER has a WLTP rated range of approximately 370 km, which is roughly 37 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
