One-hour charging at a fast DC charging station provides it with 150 km of autonomy.

Superior electrical performance and higher weight reinforce the running and braking trains. The German manufacturer is also considering the use of the MEB modular electrical platform for future projects, which will give advantages in productivity and autonomy.http://fiatforum.lv/http://fiatforum.lv/
