Fiat to integrate charging cables into electric cars

Starting with the Grande Panda, a 7.4kW slow-charger will be integrated into each Fiat's fascia

Fiat will integrate charging cables into the bodywork of its next generation EVs, beginning with the new Grande Panda next year. In that car, it will be stored behind a panel on the EV’s front fascia, featuring a sprung cable in what Fiat describes as its novel way of “reinventing” charging.

That's not very high technology. If you look at vacuum cleaners, they found a better solution.” In the Grande Panda, due to hit UK roads early next year, the integrated AC cable can charge at speeds of up to 7.4kW, meaning it can add some 120 miles to the Panda’s 44kWh battery in 4 hours and 10 mins. It is understood that the front-mounted charging cable will not be capable of rapid-charging because of the cooling requirement this would incur.
