Fiat Brings Sub-15k Topolino EV to the US for tiny trips

Fiat is bringing its European two-seat Topolino microcar to the US with a starting price around $13,995 before a $990 destination charge (about $14,985 total). The ultra-compact, 1,000-pound car offers 8 hp and a 19 mph top speed with an estimated 46-mile range; the launch model will be private-property only, but Fiat plans a free conversion kit later to hit 25 mph and enable street use. Marketed for short urban trips in places where real car performance is not the point, the move comes as US buyers face high average new-car prices while Fiat's US sales remain limited. The company notes accessories and broader affordability trends as context for its US push.

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.

The move comes amid past discussions about Kei cars in the U.S. and Fiat’s performance history in the market.

Mercedes Bets Big on Premium Electric Vans for America

Mercedes-Benz plans to bring three high-end electric vans to the US in 2028 (VLE, VLS, and VLS Maybach), built on a new luxury EV platform with a 115 kWh battery and 400+ mile range, and outfitted with ultra-premium interiors and highly configurable rear seating. Priced around $130k in tested trim, the VLE targets a premium niche, but Mercedes acknowledges that Americans may resist vans, making the market entry a strategic gamble for a brand known for sedans and SUVs.

Geely Builds a U.S. Footprint Through Volvo, Polestar, and Zeekr

Geely Holding is quietly building a U.S. foothold by owning stakes in Volvo Cars, Polestar, and Lotus, plus its Zeekr/Lynk & Co brands, gaining dealer-network access and potential U.S. production. Volvo’s Charleston, SC plant could expand, with XC60 hybrid adding about 45k units/year and Volvo aiming for roughly 200k U.S. sales, with a large portion produced locally. Zeekr is seen as the best candidate to lead a U.S. entry, aided by Waymo’s use of Zeekr tech, while bipartisan opposition to Chinese automakers persists; other Chinese players like BYD and CATL are expanding in the U.S. The takeaway: Geely’s U.S. strategy hinges on networks, platforms, and potential local manufacturing.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Blocked in the US as FCC Ban and Audit Deadlock Loom

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 won’t launch in the United States due to the FCC’s Covered List ban and an incomplete NDAA-mandated audit, which together block import of new DJI products. Major US retailers aren’t stocking the device, marking a shift from prior messaging that products weren’t “officially available” online but could still reach US buyers. If the audit isn’t completed or policy changes, this could signal a new normal where US consumers may be unable to purchase new DJI gear unless approved, leaving the Pocket 3 as the current option for US buyers.

Ineos bets on the US for its rugged Grenadier SUV

UK billionaire-backed Ineos Automotive, creator of the Grenadier 4x4, is fast-tratching growth in its largest market—the US—with a goal to breakeven this year and possibly start limited U.S. production to dodge tariffs, as it eyes 200,000–250,000 units sold globally by the early 2030s. The company currently relies on a France plant with plans to expand, and is pursuing new models like the Fusilier after pausing its all-electric variant, signaling a rapid, capital-intensive expansion path.
