500e Rolls Out: Fiat’s Electric Milestone

The 2024 Fiat 500e, marking the first battery-electric vehicle (BEV) from Stellantis for the North American market, commenced production at the Mirafiori Assembly Plant in Turin, Italy. This event signifies a pivotal step in Stellantis’ Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, with the 500e quickly becoming FIAT’s globally most awarded vehicle. Its initial allocation for the U.S. market sold out promptly, underlining the high demand for affordable, stylish electric vehicles.

Priced at an MSRP of $32,500, the Fiat 500e introduces an attractive proposition for prospective EV buyers, further sweetened by a $7,500 lease incentive and additional local incentives. Each purchase includes a Level 2 charging wall unit or charge credits via Free2move Charge, enhancing the ownership experience by simplifying the charging process.
