Summary

The Abarth 500e Scorpionissima is a 4-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new in 2023, when it cost £38,695 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.0 seconds, slower than 56% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 140 miles (225 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 58th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.7 mi/kWh (166 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 37.3 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 65 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 153 miles (246 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £14,700–£16,300, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 132 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
