The electric-only Fiat 500e could be retrofitted with a petrol engine, according to reports. Italian newspaper Il Corriere della Sera first reported that a letter was sent to Fiat’s suppliers asking if they could fulfil an increase in 500e production levels at the Mirafiori, Italy plant to 175,000 cars per year. Trade publication Automotive News Europe cited suppliers that claim the increase of almost 100,000 cars almost entirely comprises petrol-powered versions of the 500e.
Although the UK’s automotive industry typically follows European precedent, the aforementioned models will remain on sale here, suggesting that the Polish-built 500 could too have a stay of execution. Automotive News Europe reported that Fiat has yet to sign off on converting the 500e to petrol power. It is possible that it could decide to update the Polish-built 500 yet again, as it did with the similar Pandina , which was granted a stay of execution until 2027.
