Green Car Journal has named the Fiat 500e 2025 Urban Green Car
of the Year, marking the second straight year that Green Car
Journal has named the Fiat 500e its Urban
Green Car of the Year.
The 500e is electrifying North
America with its sustainable mobility mission
as Stellantis' first full BEV vehicle in the region. Green Car
Journal editors noted the 500e's unique combination of fun,
nimbleness, modest footprint and Italian-chic style.
"The Fiat 500e epitomizes what a thoroughly modern city car
should be," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car
Journal and GreenCarJournal.com. "This fun-to-drive electric car's
right-size form makes it easy to negotiate crowded urban life,
while zero emissions driving means doing so with a light
environmental touch. A fashionably Italian vibe is a welcome
bonus."
An all-new, all-electric take on the FIAT brand's most storied
and iconic model, the two-door fully electric 500e is the lightest
passenger BEV in the segment, boasting an EPA-estimated
combined range of up to 149 miles (240 kilometers), enabled by a
42-KWh battery with a Level 2 (11-kW) charge time of six hours.
With each sale or lease of a 2024 Fiat 500e, customers will be able
to select between a Level 2 charger or $600 in Free2move Charge public charging credits.
BEV capability combined with quintessential design cues make it
unmistakably FIAT, with style and sustainability at its core.
"Winning back-to-back titles as Urban
Green Car of the Year from Green Car Journal is a testament
to how well the Fiat 500e nails its intended function as the
ultimate electric city car. With standard features like
wireless CarPlay, Android Auto and Alexa built-in, plus enough
range to tackle the average weekly commute on a single charge, Fiat
500e is what an electric car should be," said Aamir Ahmed, head of FIAT North America -
Stellantis. "The Fiat 500e is affordable, fun and stylish,
continuing FIAT's legacy of democratizing transportation that began
when the brand was incepted 125 years ago."
The Fiat 500e is a completely new four-seat,
battery-electric vehicle featuring a dedicated BEV platform. Wider
and longer than the previous-generation ICE model, the new 500e
delivers improved interior space and storage. Perfectly
proportioned with optimized weight and aerodynamics, the Fiat 500e
is the ideal urban commuter, brimming with coolness, charm and
sustainability.
Stay tuned to the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 21, 2024, to learn about the next drop
in the iconic Fiat 500e collection.
