Stellantis (STLA) Puts Bold Foot Forward in the EV Space
Read MoreHide Full Article
Per media sources, Stellantis (STLA - Free Report) will build its next electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in Indiana, where it already has several facilities.
Sources have confirmed that the automaker has chosen Indiana for building the EV battery plant in the United States. It is likely that along with the Governor of Indiana and the company's chief operating officer for North America, it will make an announcement soon regarding the plans for its Kokomo operations.
In March, Stellantis and South Korea’s LG Energy Solution stated their intention to invest $4 billion to build an EV battery plant in Windsor, ON, which promises to be the first large-scale EV battery plant in Canada, targeting 2,500 new jobs.
In October 2021, Stellantis and South Korea's Samsung SDI announced plans for a joint venture for an EV battery plant. Production in the plant is expected to begin in 2025. It marked the second announcement for a battery plant in North America by Stellantis.
The recent announcement follows a $229 million investment pledge by STLA in October to retool Kokomo Transmission, Kokomo Casting and Indiana Transmission to produce a new fourth-generation, eight-speed transmission that could appear in electrified Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles.
Stellantis has expedited its electrification plans in recent months. The company stated that it would spend $35 billion (30 billion euros) in electrification and related software investments through 2025. It aims to cover 40% of sales in the United States and 70% of sales in Europe from low-emission vehicles by 2030.
Recently, at one of its strategy meetings, the company launched the Dare Forward 2030 plan to aid its transition to a carbon net-zero entity by 2038, with a 50% reduction by 2030. Apart from this, the auto giant aims to double net revenues to $335 billion annually by 2030 and maintain double-digit profit margins as it looks to ramp up efforts to bring electrified versions of its cars. It has planned an electric Dodge muscle car and Ram 1500 pickup for 2024. It also plans to have more than 75 Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and reach global annual BEV sales of 5 million vehicles by 2030.
