Francois also said Fiat is aiming to become people's Tesla by bringing electric vehicles for all. “Clearly, we need the cost of electrification to go down. By 2027, we will be ready, but possibly before. It will depend on cost. I want us to be the first mass-market brand to be electric-only," added Francois in the report. The other three EV models will come in the form of crossovers and one of them will be called Panda. This EV will succeed the original model in a more simplistic design.

Francois mentioned the model Panda in the electric form will be a little rugged, simple, robust. “The Panda wasn’t iconic because of its shape but because of the philosophy and spirit, and that’s what we’re trying to capture with a little reminiscent design, too," added Fiat's head.
