Fiat had no choice but to pause production of the 500e several times due to low demand. Realizing the situation wasn’t improving, the company announced last year that it would fit its smallest hatchback with a gasoline engine. A new production line at the Mirafiori plant is already operational and is currently building pre-production cars. Customer vehicles will begin rolling off the assembly line in November. By year’s end, about 5,000 units are expected to leave the factory.
