Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Fiat 600e or the Vauxhall Corsa?
The Fiat 600e is £510 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Fiat 600e comes out roughly £550 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Fiat 600e and Vauxhall Corsa like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 176 miles for the Fiat 600e and 149 miles for the Vauxhall Corsa - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Fiat 600e goes roughly 27 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 27-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Fiat 600e or the Vauxhall Corsa?
The two are within 14 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 635 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Corsa and about 621 mm of total clearance for the Fiat 600e.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Fiat 600e or the Vauxhall Corsa?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Fiat 600e and 84% for the Vauxhall Corsa. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
