Opinion: Australia needs electric microcars like the Fiat Topolino

The reality is, there are plenty of us out there who don’t need more than two seats, and who have little need to hit our motorways and highways. Currently, however, those of us within that niche demographic, usually buy vehicles that far exceed our daily needs, if we’re being honest with ourselves. Personally, I don’t need an SUV, not even a small one. I don’t even need a hatchback with seating for five. A two-seater electric car, such as the Fiat Topolino, with 90km of range would suit most of my motoring needs just fine.
