Fiat 500e
Believe it or not, the tiny Fiat 500 is returning to North America for 2024, this time exclusively as an electric car. Base models feature a 42kWh battery, a 118-horsepower motor and an estimated range of 240 km. Fiat could later add a sporty Abarth model producing 153 horsepower but traveling no more than 200 km on a full battery charge. Rivals include the MINI Cooper SE, Mazda MX-30 and Nissan LEAF.
