Stellantis Halts Fiat 500e Production For Another Month As Sales Struggle

Fiat has been trying to sell the 500e in the US with several special editions to no avail

Fewer than 500 examples of the electric hatchback have been sold in the U.S. this year. The Mirafiori plant also handles the production of the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio. Despite poor sales, Stellantis is investing €100 million into developing a new high-performance battery. Lackluster demand for the all-electric Fiat 500e has once again prompted Stellantis to pause production at the Italian factory that builds this pint-sized electric hatchback.

In September, the car-making conglomerate revealed that 500e production would be paused from the second week of that month until October 11. Yet, halfway through the planned shutdown, Stellantis extended the halt until November 1. The disruption won’t only affect the 500e. The Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio are also produced at the Mirafiori plant, meaning both models will be impacted by the December shutdown, Reuters reports.
