Platform Heritage
The Fiat 500e (project 332), also known as the 500 elettrica, is an either battery-electric car or mild-hybrid engine car by Italian manufacturer Fiat as the third generation of its 500 city cars, following the original 500 (1957–1975) and second-generation 500 (2007–2024). The third-generation 500e is manufactured at the Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy, starting in 2020, and was sold alongside the second-generation 500, which was manufactured in Tychy, Poland until 2024. It was scheduled to be launched at the Geneva Motor Show but that event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic; it was launched on 4 March 2020 in Milan.
The 500e has a 320 km (199 mi) range on the European WLTP combined test cycle, and achieves 400 km (249 mi) on that test's urban cycle, which is generally favourable toward electric vehicles (EVs). Most versions of the car are powered by an 87 kW (117 hp) electric traction motor, fed by a 42 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
