From the archive: Fiat's early electric efforts disappoint

“The electric car’s problem is the battery, and that’s why I think it will be difficult for it to be an alternative to the combustion engine. It may be that soon the industry can produce a battery with more power and a greater range. But I think electric cars will always be limited to use in towns. “Electric cars may be a specific solution in a specific area, but they won’t solve the ecology problem at a global level, because you have to generate power for their batteries.

” On top of all that, it cost the lira equivalent of £12,000 – three times as much as a petrol Panda or about the same as a BMW 318i. Fiat was, of course, aware of and bothered by these severe limitations. It soon announced a new nickel-cadmium battery chemistry for 1992, boosting the car’s power-to-weight ratio by half and had bought a French battery company to do zinc bromide and lithium R&D.
