Fiat launches Topolino EV in U.S. for $13,995

Published 9 July 2026

Fiat has officially opened U.S. orders for its tiny Topolino electric vehicle, a low-speed, two-seat model starting at $13,995. The vehicle, which began sales on July 7, 2026, is classified as a quadricycle and is designed for short trips in private communities, resorts, and areas with golf cart access.

The base price rises to $14,985 after a mandatory $990 destination fee. The Topolino offers up to 46 miles of range from a 5.4-kilowatt-hour battery and has a top speed of 19 miles per hour in its standard configuration, restricting it primarily to private property. Fiat brand CEO Olivier François stated the vehicle represents a new chapter for the brand in the U.S., defined by purpose and a lifestyle focused on joyful and simple mobility.

A key feature of the launch is a free conversion kit that will be available by late summer. This kit will upgrade the Topolino to a federally regulated low-speed vehicle (LSV), increasing its maximum speed to 25 mph and permitting it on public roads with posted speed limits of 35 mph or less. The vehicle weighs 1,073 pounds, is about eight feet long, and takes approximately five hours for a full charge using a standard AC charger.
