New York Post • • business
Key Points:
- Fiat is launching its compact electric Topolino in the U.S., a two-seat neighborhood EV priced starting at $13,995, significantly cheaper than the average used car but with a top speed of just 19 mph.
- The Topolino is designed for low-speed environments like private neighborhoods and resorts, offering a range of up to 46 miles on a 5.4-kilowatt-hour battery and a full charge time of about five hours.
- By summer's end, owners can install a free conversion kit to upgrade the Topolino to a federally regulated low-speed vehicle (LSV), increasing its top speed to 25 mph and allowing legal use on roads with speed limits up to 35 mph.
- The vehicle comes in two body styles—the standard Topolino and the Topolino Dolcevita—with features like a panoramic sunroof, LED lamps, vintage-style wheels, and a roll-back soft top on the Dolcevita model.
- This U.S. launch expands Fiat’s electric lineup beyond the 500e and aims to attract American buyers seeking affordable, simple, and expressive urban mobility options.
