In June, it became known that Stellantis NV is going to offer an electric car Citroen e-C3 by the beginning of next year, which will be sold at a price of 25,000 euros and compete with the Dacia Spring assembled in China. The head of Fiat, which is part of the concern, explained that the Panda-inspired electric hatchback will also appear next year and will be able to offer a starting price of around 25,000 euros.

About it in an interview Bloomberg Fiat CEO Olivier Francois said last week. The debut of the electric hatchback worth 25,000 euros, the Italian automaker has scheduled for July 2024. It is possible that it will share a platform and many components with the same Citroen e-C3, the assembly of which for the European market will begin in Slovakia next year.
By the way, the Citroen e-C3 electric car is already offered in the Indian market, it has a body length of less than 4 meters, has seats for five people in the cabin and a luggage compartment with a volume of 315 liters, and a single 57 hp traction motor. capable of accelerating the car up to 107 km / h. An electric car exchanges a “hundred” for a long 6.8 seconds by the standards of the class, but with a traction battery with a capacity of only 29.2 kWh, you have to save a charge, which, with an economical driving style, is enough for 320 km. The 3.3 kW on-board charger is capable of restoring a full charge from a household outlet in 10 and a half hours, but there is also a fast charge in 57 minutes from a high-speed DC station.
It is possible that Fiat’s electric car for economical Stellantis customers will inherit many of these characteristics. The issue of using the Panda brand has not yet been resolved, but in terms of layout, the electric car will most likely repeat the model that is very popular in certain markets. Stellantis earns the most revenue in the US market, where it owns several brands such as Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge, which are popular here, so the electric Fiat 500 should also return to the local market in the foreseeable future.
