EvCompass verdict

The main arguments drawn from approved data and the EvCompass editorial summary.

At 32.3 kWh and 158 Wh/km, it delivers 205 km, while the 10 to 80% average power is 29 kW. The full stop takes 49 min.

Four seats and a 250 l boot keep this discontinued e-Up! urban in scale despite its longer range.

Best suited to

It suits a user for whom 205 km matters more than a 49 min stop.

Strong points

  • Real range of 205 km is higher than the 135 km median among A-segment hatchbacks.

Home charging

Chargers matched to this car

Live home AC products ranked by how closely their power matches the car's onboard charger.

The car accepts up to 7.2 kW AC — a higher-power station will not charge it beyond that limit.

Ownership costs

What it costs to use this car

Energy, scheduled servicing and seasonal tyres, priced from one transparent set of assumptions.

Calculation assumptions and sources

Applied settings

15,000 km per year · 70% charged at home · 30% in public DC · G11 — flat rate · All networks

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 135 Wh/km

Cold weather: 190 Wh/km

Cold-weather share: 44.2% from the 1991–2020 climate normals, source read on September 13, 2026. IMGW-PIB source

The source does not state whether these figures include charging losses; no additional loss factor is applied.

Tyre ageing without mileage is excluded; seasonal changeovers are counted twice per year.

Home tariff

G11 — flat rate: PLN 1.10/kWh · source read on September 13, 2026 · Poradnia OZE; assembled from URE-approved PGE 2026 tariffs

Indicative reconstruction: PGE Obrót energy, PGE Dystrybucja variable distribution and variable statutory charges from the 2026 tariffs were summed net and increased by 23% VAT. Fixed monthly fees are excluded. The result is below the shared G11 range of PLN 1.18–1.32/kWh because it includes variable items only; published comparisons may include other charges or assume a different billing profile.
