The first all-electric Fiat 500e vehicles for the US recently rolled off the line at the Mirafiori Assembly Plant in Turin, Italy. The two-door, battery-electric vehicle (BEV) sold out its first dealer allocation in less than a week. The all-electric Fiat 500e will arrive in the US by the end of the first quarter as the first North American BEV offering from Stellantis.
According to Stellantis, the Fiat 500e delivers an estimated range of 149 miles, enabled by a 42 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery with a Level 2 (11-kW) charge time of four hours and 15 minutes (30 amp).
“We’re thrilled that the Fiat 500e has officially begun its journey to reach customers in North America,” Olivier Francois, Fiat CEO and CMO global of Stellantis, said. “The 500e registered more than 185,000 units worldwide since its launch and is playing a relevant role in the green transition of cities across the globe, continuing the brand’s electrification journey.”
Fiat is beginning the introduction of the Fiat 500e to North America with one model, the (RED) Edition. Fiat said it partnered with (RED) to introduce a BEV with features including red-painted exterior mirrors, LED headlamps and front grill details, sitting on 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Available exterior colors are Tuxedo Black, Glacier White and Red by (RED). Every time a (RED) product is purchased, it triggers a donation to the Global Fund to support life-saving prevention and treatment programs, Stellantis said.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the 2024 Fiat 500e is $32,500, not including the $1,595 destination fee, and it is positioned to take advantage of government tax rebates in participating states. In addition, every Fiat 500e includes a Level 2 charging wall unit or public charging credits through Free2move Charge.
