The Fiat Grande Panda electric, currently priced at €24,900 with a 44 kWh LFP battery supplied by China's Svolt, offers a range of around 320 km. This version is already one of the most attractive in the electric city car segment. Fiat seems to have plans to make it even more affordable in the coming months. An even cheaper version of the electric Fiat Grande Panda could be on the market as early as mid-2025, with a smaller battery and a lower price.
According to the French media L'Argus, Fiat plans to turn to Chinese giant BYD to equip the electric Grande Panda with an LFP battery of reduced capacity, between 30 and 35 kWh. This reduction in battery size would be accompanied by a a significant drop in range to around 200-250 km. It's an approach that Fiat knows well, having already applied a similar strategy to the electric 500, where two battery capacities are offered, one of which is 23.8 kWh, offering a range of 190 km. The less expensive version thus enables us to lower the price, but at the cost of reduced autonomy.
This smaller-battery version of the electric Fiat Grande Panda would be clearly aimed at urban users or those traveling short distances. It would also be ideal for people who can easily recharge their vehicle at home. This is not a model for long journeys, but a practical solution for daily commutes or trips around town.
Fiat's aim is to make the electric Fiat Grande Panda even more accessible, with a price that could fall below €20,000, which would represent a considerable reduction on its current price. In some countries where purchase subsidies for electric vehicles are available, this could even make the Grande Panda less expensive than the combustion-hybrid version. In terms of price, it would then be in the same niche as the Leapmotor T03, a Chinese model distrubed by Stellantis currently priced at €19,500. If this even more affordable version of the Fiat Grande Panda becomes a reality, it could mark a turning point in the democratization of electric vehicles.
