All production years meet zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) standards under EU Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and UK VCA Type Approval.
The Fiat EVO Electric Motor is a 87 kW permanent magnet synchronous unit engineered for urban electric vehicles (2024–Present). It combines a single-speed gearbox with liquid cooling to deliver instant torque and efficient city driving. Designed as a zero-emission powertrain, it complies with all current EU and UK regulations for battery electric vehicles.

The Fiat EVO Electric Motor was developed by Stellantis for its new generation of small electric vehicles with transverse mounting. This motor is currently exclusive to the Fiat brand, powering the facelifted 500e (3+1) and will underpin the upcoming next-generation Panda EV. All specifications and calibrations are managed internally by Stellantis engineering.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
The EVO Electric Motor's primary reliability focus is on thermal management and software calibration, with no significant mechanical failure trends reported. Stellantis internal quality reports indicate a very low incidence of drivetrain-related warranty claims. High ambient temperatures and frequent DC fast charging can stress the cooling system, making software updates and system checks critical for long-term health.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
As a new motor with no legacy mechanical components like pistons or timing chains, the EVO is projected to be highly reliable. Its main wear items are the reduction gearbox bearings and the cooling system. Stellantis data shows very few failures, with software updates being the primary maintenance need for optimal performance.
The most reported issues are minor software glitches affecting power delivery or regenerative braking, and occasional 12V battery drain if the car is left unplugged for weeks. Mechanical failures of the motor or gearbox are extremely rare according to early warranty data.
Currently, the EVO motor is used in the 2024+ Fiat 500e (3+1 body style). It is also confirmed for the next-generation Fiat Panda EV, expected in 2025. It is not used in the older, larger 500e model or any other Fiat/Stellantis vehicles as of now.
Officially, no. Stellantis does not offer performance upgrades. While third-party 'tunes' may exist, they are not endorsed and can void the warranty, potentially overheat components, or damage the battery by exceeding its safe discharge rate. The hardware has some headroom, but software locks limit output.
In the Fiat 500e 3+1, expect 120-150 miles (190-240 km) in mixed driving. Range is highly dependent on weather (cold reduces it significantly), driving style, speed, and use of climate control. Highway driving at 70 mph will yield less than city driving.
No, the electric motor itself requires no oil. However, the single-speed reduction gearbox contains a specialized e-drive oil. Stellantis specifies this oil is filled for life and does not require changing under normal operating conditions, only if the gearbox is serviced.
The EVO motor and associated high-voltage components are covered under Fiat's standard high-voltage battery and drive unit warranty, which is typically 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, protecting against defects in materials and workmanship.
