Fiat to release the 500e in the US in Spring 2024
Fiat is beginning the introduction of the 500e to North America with the RED Edition. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $32,500, not including the $1,595 destination charge.
For the RED Edition, Fiat partnered with (RED) “to introduce the coolest, most ethical car in urban mobility with features like red-painted exterior mirrors, LED headlamps and front grille details, all sitting on 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels”.
The car can charge with up to 85 kW, which allows for a range of 31 miles (50 kilometres) of range after only five minutes of charging and 80% battery capacity in just 35 minutes. The estimated time from 0% to 100% is four hours and 15 minutes with a Level 2 (11-kW) charging station. The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 42 kWh, and an electric estimated range of 149 miles (240 kilometres), which is down significantly from the Fiat 500e we tested in 2021. A home L2 Wallbox charger system or charge credits through Free2Move Charge are included in the purchase as well.
“FIAT is taking on BEVs in a way only the Italian brand can, combining ‘La Dolce Vita’ spirit of an icon with a mission of sustainability and zero emissions,” said Olivier Francois, FIAT CEO and global CMO – Stellantis. “The 2024 500e is a modern, tech-forward take on a beloved classic, delivering a host of new safety features while remaining fun to drive and true to its roots. Try not to smile when you drive this car.”
