The Fiat 500e isn't selling well, and the automaker has suspended production of the electric city car.

The 149-mile 500e EV is a good fit for singles or couples in the city, with a perky feel, a standout design, and speedy charging.

Fiat didn't offer any technical details, but said it will also offer hybrid and internal-combustion powertrains in production models based on these concepts.

A test with California’s Ample will enable 100 Fiat EVs to get fully charged in five minutes by swapping out the modular pack with a freshly charged one.

The 500e this time will let Stellantis experiment with how it sells EVs ahead of higher-stakes models like Jeep EVs and a Dodge electric muscle car.

Fiat is entering the electric commercial vehicle market with the Ducato Electric, a vehicle related to the U.S. Ram ProMaster.
