Overview

---

Fiat Automobile S.p.A. is a subsidiary the Netherlands based Stellantis N.V., which was formed by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (Italian/ American) and Groupe PSA (French). You may not be familiar with these names, but the automotive brands in the portfolio would be well known to most consumers. These include: Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Jeep, Vauxhall, Alfa Romeo etc.

Fiat continues to remain the largest automotive manufacturer in Italy, but also has manufacturing locations globally, with Brazil as the largest international production site. Fiat Automobiles has been recognised in Europe for the lower emission footprint of its vehicles and has been ranked as the lowest level of CO2 emissions by vehicles sold in Europe. Fiat offers both passenger and commercial electric vehicles (EVs). The manufacturer offers the following electric vans:

• Fiat e-Ducato
• Fiat e-Scudo
• Fiat e-Doblò

Fiat e-Scudo Panel Van

---

The medium-sized Fiat Scudo light commercial vehicle has been available since 1995. The LCV is also available as a battery-electric vehicle (BEV). The Fiat e-Scudo panel van is available in two EV battery sizes: 50 kWh and 75 kWh. The manufacturer claims an electric range up to 142 miles (WLTP) for the smaller 50 kWh EV battery and a range up to 205 miles (WLTP) for the 75 kWh EV battery.

Of course, the real-world electric range will be lower, impacted by a number of factors, to include: payload, driving profile, speed, weather conditions, temperature, onboard services used etc. Expect a real-world e-range closer to 120 miles for the 50 kWh EV battery and 170 miles for the 75 kWh variant. Without doubt both EV battery sizes offer a useful and practical zero-emission electric range.

The manufacturer offers DC charging up to 100 kW DC. At 100 kW DC, the 50 kWh EV battery can be charged up to 80% in 30 minutes, while the 75 kWh EV battery will also take up to 45 minutes for a 80% charge. In general, we at e-zoomed recommend never letting the EV battery charge fall below 10%. So best to plan the journey, such that there is always sufficient charge in the battery.

Fiat offers up to three-phase AC onboard charging compatibility. However, not as standard. Using a dedicated three-phase (11 kW) EV charger, like easee, the 50 kWh EV battery can be fully charged in 5 hours. The 75 kWh will take up to 7 hours and 30 minutes to achieve 100% charge. Most business premises in the UK are powered by three-phase power supply.

Single-phase (7 kW) EV charging will take longer (7 hours and 30 minutes for the 50 kWh EV battery and 11 hours and 30 minutes for the 75 kWh EV battery). Though the e-van can be charged using a standard 3-PIN domestic plug, we at e-zoomed discourage using a domestic plug to charge an electric vehicle. It will take up to 15 hours for a full charge for the 50 kWh and 22 hours and 40 minutes for the 75 kWh EV battery.

In any case, we at e-zoomed encourage a ‘topping up’ approach to charging an electric vehicle (EV). This is beneficial for the long-term maintenance of the onboard EV battery and of course, EV charging times are shorter. Fiat offers a 8 years or 100,000 miles warranty for the EV battery.

The Fiat e-Scudo panel van is available in two lengths: Standard Wheelbase (M-4959mm), Maxi Wheelbase (XL-5309mm). The e-van holds two pallets in the standard version, and three pallets in the Maxi version. Both lengths come in same height (1895mm). The electric van offers between 5.3 m³ – 6.1 m³ cargo volume, with a payload up to 1,226 kg. The EV offers 3 seats. The manufacturer also offers a host of driving aids and technology, to include: lane departure warning, rear-view camera, traffic signal recognition, forward collision warning, grip control and more.

In terms of performance, the front-wheel drive Fiat e-Scudo panel van delivers a maximum power up to 136 hp and 260 Nm torque. The top speed is 80 mph. The electric van also incorporates regenerative braking to improve the efficiency of the EV and increase the electric range. Like other electric vehicles, the e-Scudo also benefits from instant torque.

The Fiat e-Scudo is eligible for the UK government plug-in van grant for the ‘large vans’ category. These vehicles are between 2,500kg and 4,250kg gross vehicle weight, have CO2 emissions of less than 50g/km and can travel at least 96km (60 miles) zero-emissions. The grant will pay for 35% of the purchase price for these vehicles, up to a maximum of £5,000.

Bottom-line, electric driving is good for the environment and the wallet! You can lease electric vans via e-zoomed at very competitive prices!
