Stellantis plans to offer the Fiat Topolino, an all-electric quadricycle vehicle, in the U.S.

DETROIT — Chrysler parent Stellantis on Tuesday said it has opened ordering for its small Fiat Topolino electric vehicle in the U.S., starting at $13,995.

While the Topolino resembles a small car such as the Fiat 500, the EV is actually a quadricycle that functions more like a golf cart.

Stellantis said the Topolino is capable of going 19 mph, with an electric range of up to 46 miles. A low-speed vehicle conversion kit can boost the top speed to 25 mph to make it street legal on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less, according to the trans-Atlantic automaker.

A Stellantis spokeswoman said there will be no charge for the conversion kit but confirmed a mandatory destination fee will add $990 to the base price, bringing the customer price to $14,985.

The Topolino, which translates to "little mouse" in Italian, is produced in Morocco. The company said it will be available in limited quantities this year as a hardtop model with doors or as the Dolce Vita soft-top convertible model with a rope instead of doors.
