Tiny EVs, Big Ambitions: US firms push micro-mobility into mainstream

US automakers and startups are betting on electric low-speed vehicles (LSVs)—tiny, affordable, street-legal options for short trips and micromobility—led by Stellantis’ Fiat Topolino and newcomers like Chip Motors and Waev. With prices around $15,000 and speeds under 25 mph, these LSVs are positioned to complement, not replace, traditional cars, though regulatory shifts and consumer adoption will determine how quickly the market grows.

Fiat brings the tiny Topolino electric to the US at a bargain price with a catch

Fiat will launch its 8-foot-long, two-seat Topolino EV in the U.S. starting at about $13,995 ($14,985 with destination), offering up to 46 miles of range. Initially limited to speeds up to 25 mph, Fiat will provide a free kit by summer to convert it into a federally regulated low-speed vehicle (LSV) that can operate on public roads with speed limits up to 35 mph; the car will be offered in Topolino and Dolcevita versions and is positioned as a neighborhood-focused, affordable EV extension beyond the 500e.
