"With unique Italian style, industry-best highway MPGe rating and class-leading combined driving range, we know we have a great car in our hands. Now our task is to simplify the customer's experience and make sure that people know how easy and affordable it can be to own our electric Cinquecento.", commented Tim Kuniskis Head of FIAT Brand North America.
If you thought that purchasing or leasing an EV would come with a hefty premium, think again. The 500e will be offered to California residents at launch with a $199 a month/$999 due at signing lease for 36 months, same as the current lease offer on a Fiat 500 Pop powered by a gas engine.
