Part 4/6:
The Impending Challenges for Fiat's EV Line
On the production front, Stellantis has extended the halt on manufacturing the Fiat 500e and certain electric Maserati models due to continued low demand. The company cited uncertainty in European EV sales as a significant motivating factor for this delay. In Colorado, some dealerships are resorting to enticing lease offers for the Fiat 500e, which has had poor sales numbers—around 500 units in the U.S. To put this into perspective, the Fiat 500e’s price point and technological limits seem to have left it struggling against competitors with more appealing options, such as the Chevrolet Equinox EV.
