1674 Fiat has selected 2132 AeroVironment as its preferred provider of home charging stations and installations for its all-electric Fiat 500e.

The 2013 Fiat 500e features a 24-kWh Lithium-ion battery that will allow drivers to travel an estimated 108 miles and uses an industry-standard SAE J1772 recharge connector.  The 240-volt refuelling station will charge the car in four hours or less versus the approximate twenty hours required using a standard 120-volt charging cable.  AeroVironment’s UL-listed station can be installed indoors or outdoors, making it easy to locate the station in the most convenient location.  

“The Fiat 500e increases the number of plug-in electric vehicles available to American drivers,” said Wahid Nawabi, AeroVironment senior vice president and general manager of its Efficient Energy Systems business segment. “Having your own auto refuelling station right in your garage or driveway gives EV drivers a new kind of freedom. It makes charging your car as easy as charging your cell phone, and it’s much less expensive than gasoline.”
