"The auto conglomerate, which owns Jeep and Ram, confirmed on Monday that it would bring the Fiat Topolino - a 2.5-meter-long electric tiny car - to the US. Speaking at an event in Michigan, Fiat CEO Olivier Francois said the Topolino's display appearances in the US had sparked "tremendous excitement," adding that the company would share more details about the tiny car's US launch next year."
"The Topolino, which means "little mouse" in Italian, is a major departure from the gas-guzzling big trucks that dominate US roads. Built by Italian brand Fiat, the compact city car has a max range of around 47 miles and a top speed of 28 miles per hour. Weighing less than a golf cart, it's technically classified as an electric quadricycle rather than a car, meaning that it can be driven from age 14 in some European countries."
Stellantis will bring the Fiat Topolino to the US, a 2.5-meter electric tiny car priced around €9,900 ($11,500) in Italy. The Topolino has a maximum range of about 47 miles and a top speed of 28 miles per hour. The vehicle weighs less than a golf cart and is classified as an electric quadricycle, allowing legal operation from age 14 in some European countries. Fiat reported strong public interest from its US displays and plans to announce launch details next year. President Donald Trump expressed support for small Kei-style electric cars and said he loosened regulations to allow similar models in the US. Stellantis said the Topolino launch announcement was unrelated to those comments.
