A new electric hatchback is now cheaper than a petrol counterpart thanks to a £1,500 grant. The Electric Car Grant (ECG) offers up to £3,750 off new electric vehicles priced under £37,000.
Fiat 600e qualifies for government discount
The Fiat 600e has now qualified for the Government-backed discount. The Fiat Abarth 600e is also eligible for the grant. When the Labour Party government’s £1,500 grant is applied, the Abarth costs £32,495, while the 600e retails at £25,495.
Kris Cholmondeley, managing director of Fiat UK, described the announcement as “another important step in making electric mobility even more accessible to a wider audience”. He said: “With the Fiat 600e now benefiting from both our recent price repositioning and the Government’s Electric Car Grant, customers can enjoy a compelling price point and great value, with no compromise to stylish, practical electric driving.”
Total savings of nearly £4,800
Combined with Fiat’s price repositioning at the start of 2026, customers can now get the Fiat 600e from just £25,495 (including £1,500 grant), representing a total saving of £4,785 compared to December 2025 pricing. At a time when fuel prices remain elevated, this incentive provides drivers with a great value option and an even more compelling reason to switch to electric.
The Fiat 600e blends signature Italian design with everyday practicality, offering a compact SUV body style, comfortable interior, and zero-emissions driving. Designed to meet modern lifestyle needs, it delivers an accessible and attractive entry point into electric mobility.
The UK Government’s Electric Car Grant supports vehicles that meet strict environmental and sustainability criteria, reinforcing the Fiat 600e’s strong credentials as an efficient and practical EV. With lower running costs, zero tailpipe emissions, and reduced maintenance requirements, the Fiat 600e offers a smart long-term ownership proposition with no compromise on style and everyday practicality.
