FAYETTEVILLE, AR – January 26th, 2026 – Fuel2Electric and Silent Classics Announce Exclusive North American Partnership for Fiat 500 Electric Conversion Kits
Fuel2Electric becomes the exclusive North American sales and marketing partner for Silent Classics’ Fiat 500 EV conversion system, including the new V2 kit.
Fuel2Electric is proud to announce a new exclusivity partnership with Silent Classics, marking an important milestone for classic EV conversions in North America. Under this agreement, Fuel2Electric becomes the exclusive partner responsible for marketing, lead generation, and sales of Silent Classics’ Fiat 500 Electric Conversion Kits across the United States and Canada.
The announcement coincides with the North American availability of the Fiat 500 V2 Electric Conversion Kit, the latest generation of Silent Classics’ flagship system. Designed as a complete, turnkey solution, the V2 kit modernizes the iconic Fiat 500 with a reliable electric drivetrain while preserving the character and driving experience that made the car legendary.
“The V2 Conversion Kit represents more than a simple upgrade. It reflects years of refinement, real-world use, and feedback from classic car owners who want reliability, drivability, and efficiency—without compromising authenticity.” Said the Silent Classics team.
The drop-in kit integrates a 40 kW AC induction motor, optimized for smooth urban driving and everyday usability. It supports 3 kW AC charging and offers two battery configurations: a 13.7 kWh city pack with an estimated range of 80 miles, and an optional rural upgrade delivering up to 120 miles of range.
Offered as a complete conversion kit starting at $22,000 (+ tax), the system includes all major components required to electrify a classic Fiat 500. Kits are built to order, and due to strong global demand, a waiting list is currently in operation.
Expanding Access to Proven EV Conversion Systems
“This partnership reflects our mission to make high-quality EV conversion solutions more accessible and scalable in North America,” said Fuel2Electric. “Silent Classics has developed a proven, well-engineered system, and the V2 kit represents a mature, production-ready solution for classic Fiat 500 owners and professional converters alike.”
By combining Silent Classics’ engineering expertise with Fuel2Electric’s digital platform, marketing reach, and growing network of conversion professionals, the partnership aims to accelerate adoption of classic EV conversions while maintaining high technical and customer-experience standards.
