Fiat has started selling the Topolino in the US, and it’s one of the most unusual EVs on the American market: just over 2.5 m long, an 8 hp motor, a 5.4 kWh battery and a price from $13,995 excluding destination. Another $990 covers the destination fee. The Topolino isn’t trying to replace a regular car — it slots into a niche between a golf cart, a city EV and transport for resorts, communities and short trips.

The model will be offered in limited numbers through select Fiat dealers. There are two versions: the standard Topolino and the Topolino Dolcevita, with a roll-back soft top and door ropes instead of conventional doors. On a single charge the microcar covers up to 74 km (46 miles). A full charge from a household outlet takes about five hours.

Formally, the Topolino falls under the LSV category — low-speed vehicle. Such machines are allowed on public roads with speed limits up to 35 mph (about 56 km/h), but the Topolino itself currently tops out at 19 mph (roughly 31 km/h). Later, owners will be offered a free kit that lifts the top speed to 25 mph (40 km/h) and adds a rearview mirror, a camera and a pedestrian warning sound.

For Fiat this is an attempt to find in the US not mass volume but a new role for the brand. In 2025 the marque sold just 1321 cars in America against nearly 44,000 in 2012, so the Topolino works more like an image-driven city product. Its real buyers are resort areas, retirement communities, campuses and neighborhoods where the trip to the store or the beach matters more than speed.

But as a market signal the Topolino is intriguing: a cheap EV doesn’t have to be a do-everything machine. Sometimes a carmaker honestly sells just 74 km of freedom around your home.
