Stellantis Brings Fiat Topolino EV to US Market at $13,995
Stellantis plans to sell the Fiat Topolino in the US for $13,995, though the compact EV is technically a quadricycle, not a car.
Stellantis announced plans to sell the Fiat Topolino electric vehicle in the United States at a starting price of $13,995, targeting buyers drawn to its car-like appearance and affordable entry point into electric mobility. The move marks a notable push by the automaker to expand the Topolino's reach beyond European markets where the vehicle has already gained traction.
Despite its visual resemblance to the beloved Fiat 500, the Topolino is classified as a quadricycle rather than a conventional automobile. In practical terms, that means the vehicle operates more similarly to a golf cart than a standard passenger car, a distinction that carries significant implications for where and how it can legally be driven in the US.

For Stellantis, the Topolino represents an opportunity to carve out a niche at the lower end of the EV price spectrum, a segment that has proven elusive for most major automakers in the US. At under $14,000, the Topolino undercuts virtually every other new electric vehicle currently available to American consumers, potentially attracting urban commuters, retirees, or buyers seeking a secondary runabout vehicle.
