Add 5 years of charging and the Fiat 600e comes out roughly £510 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 176 miles for the Fiat 600e and 207 miles for the Jaecoo E5 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Jaecoo E5 goes roughly 31 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 27-27 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Fiat 600e or the Jaecoo E5?
The Fiat 600e is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 83 mm narrower than the Jaecoo E5. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 621 mm of total clearance for the Fiat 600e and about 538 mm of total clearance for the Jaecoo E5.
