Fiat 500e delivers 149-mile range;
Level 2 charging in 4 hrs, 15 min

(December 7, 2023) AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — An all-new, all-electric take on the Fiat brand’s most storied and iconic model, the two-door fully electric 500e, will arrive on this side of the Atlantic as the first battery-electric vehicle (BEV) offering from Stellantis. The lightest passenger BEV in the market, 500e boasts an estimated range of 149 miles, enabled by a 42-KWh battery with a Level 2 (11-kW) charge time of four hours and 15 minutes.

BEV capability combined with quintessential design cues make it unmistakably Fiat, with style and sustainability at its core. The 500e will be available in Stellantis North America showrooms starting in the first quarter of 2024.

“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.”

The Fiat 500e is a completely new four-seat battery-electric vehicle with a dedicated BEV platform. Wider and longer than the previous ICE model, it is powered by a 42-kWh, high-voltage, lithium-ion battery system, resulting in improved interior space and storage, and an all-electric estimated range of 149 miles (240 kilometers). Perfectly proportioned with optimized weight and aerodynamics, the Fiat 500e is the ideal urban commuter, brimming with coolness and charm while delivering its sustainable mission.


On the outside, the 500e has a noticeably present stance while remaining true to the historic lines that have made the 500 an icon. Larger dimensions give drivers a confident view of the road ahead. The exterior features new front and rear LED lighting, e-latch aero door handles, and an updated front grill to give the vehicle a fresh yet elegant appearance. These features combine fashion and function as they contribute to improved aerodynamics, which increases the electric range. The 500e stands on 17-inch diamond-cut wheels for a bold, dynamic presentation.

Inside, every square inch has been thoughtfully designed for a modern interpretation of the timeless Italian style. Fiat enthusiasts will immediately recognize the dashboard insert, rounded cluster and two-spoke steering wheel as an homage to the original 1957 Fiat 500.

Classic meets contemporary with a 10.25-inch center screen with Uconnect 5 services, combined with a 7-inch full digital cluster for a harmonious user experience. Customers also have more storage available with a newly designed center console and door panels, giving drivers all the space needed to carry daily essentials. The seats feature a fresh design as well, with six-way adjustability for the driver, including height adjustment for an improved driving position. The front passenger seat features four-way adjustability. All seating offers thoughtful use of recycled materials.

On the road, the 500e boasts 118 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque, reaching 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds, providing excellent performance while managing range.



The 500e features one-pedal driving, an experience unique to BEVs. This uses the electric motor and regenerative braking to provide stop and go function using only the accelerator pedal. This feature also provides greater capture of energy that would normally be lost and uses the electricity later for propulsion, which is ideal for low-speed, urban traffic.

The technology pairs with E-coasting and the management of vehicle deceleration to further increase energy efficiency. Finally, cabin preconditioning allows drivers to begin a journey with a climatized cabin while still plugged in. This feature brings the 500e cabin temperature to a chosen level without depleting the initial state of charge, ensuring comfort is never compromised for efficiency.

Every Fiat 500e includes a home charger box system or charge credits through Free2Move Charge to ease the transition to electrification. Free2Move is Stellantis' 360-degree ecosystem, delivering seamless charging and energy management to address all electric-vehicle customer needs.

The Fiat 500e is built at the Mirafiori Assembly Plant in Turin, Italy, and will be available in Stellantis North America showrooms starting in early 2024.
