DETROIT — Stellantis is resurrecting the all-electric Fiat 500e for the U.S. market, as the automaker begins to release electric vehicles domestically to meet tightening fuel economy regulations.
The 500e will be the first all-electric vehicle offered in the U.S. by Stellantis since the company formed in 2021.
At just over 3,000 pounds, Stellantis says the 500e is expected to be the lightest all-electric vehicle in the segment.
The electric Fiat 500e as well as gas-powered models of the car were previously built at a factory in Mexico by Fiat Chrysler.
A Fiat spokesman said additional 500e models will be available at Fiat dealerships in the future.
