Fiat surprised everyone with a genius microcar

Fiat remembers old virtues. On their own and on foreign side: The Centoventi should be as mass-suitable and as cheap as once the Model T of Ford. “Electromobility for all,” is the motto of Fiat’s new small car study. Thanks to its modular design, the city car can be adapted to your own taste and range requirements.

The fact that the quite classic designed hatchback model reminds at first glance of Fiats successful times with the mass models Uno and Panda 1, should not be a coincidence. What the two micro-cars were for the petrol car is to represent the Centoventi for the e-era: “democratic” mobility for all. Cheap but cool.

The upgrade batteries should not only be sold, but also rented. One of the batteries can also be removed and recharge in the living room in the socket.

Although the Centoventi is a study, Fiat is obviously quite serious about the concept. The manufacturer speaks relatively concretely of a future and promotes the model as cheapest battery electric car on the market, which is also the easiest to clean, repair and maintain and with lower risk of damage and lower total cost of ownership for the models of the competition.
