According to a new report from *[CarsDirect]()*, its alleged starting price in the U.S. makes it more expensive than its direct competitors. With a reported starting price of $32,500 (excluding destination), the second-gen[ Fiat 500e]() could be more expensive than both the Nissan Leaf ($29,225) and the[ Chevy Bolt]() ($27,495). However, the current Chevy Bolt will be leaving us soon, the Leaf is getting a bit long in the tooth, and the Fiat's pricing is still speculative at this point. "We have not announced pricing. We will provide more details at a later date," Stellantis told *The Drive* in a statement. In Europe, the Fiat 500e comes with a front-mounted electric motor with 117 horsepower, which gets its juice from a 32.3 kWh battery. It also gets 199 miles of range but Euro range estimates often differ from the U.S. EPA's, so there's no guarantee that our version will have the same range. If so, the new little Italian will have a range bump of more than 100 miles, versus its predecessor, which had an 84-mile EPA-rated range. *CarsDirect* also claims that the 500e will come standard with 17-inch wheels, 205/45R17 tires, cloth seats, and Stellantis' 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 system. ![]() **Stellantis** ![]() **Stellantis** What's also unclear is where the U.S. market Fiat 500es will be built, which will determine whether the car is eligible for federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act. If it's built at one of Stellantis' North American plants, it could be eligible for hefty tax breaks for customers, which would bring its final purchase price down well under $30,000. If the 500e can't get tax credits, it might be seen as a bit too pricey, given cars like the Bolt have longer ranges for less money. Italian cuteness only goes so far. There's no word on when Stellantis will reveal the full specs and cost of the Fiat 500e but it's been over a year since the car was first revealed to the U.S. market, so we're anxiously waiting. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
