On the EPA test cycle the 500e gets better mileage than the C40 Recharge:

The 500e has a standard locking charge port with a power remote release convenient to the driver. The C40 Recharge doesn’t have a locking charge port. A locking charge port prevents tampering and damage.

The 500e’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the C40 Recharge Core’s standard 50 series tires.

For better maneuverability, the 500e’s turning circle is 5.9 feet tighter than the C40 Recharge’s (31.5 feet vs. 37.4 feet).

The Fiat 500e may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1800 pounds less than the Volvo C40 Recharge.

The 500e is 2 feet, 7.8 inches shorter than the C40 Recharge, making the 500e easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

A low lift-over trunk design makes loading and unloading the 500e easier. The 500e’s trunk lift-over height is 27.4 inches, while the C40 Recharge’s liftover is 29.2 inches.
