Stellantis (STLA) Jeep to Go All-Electric in Europe by 2022-End
Read MoreHide Full Article
Stellantis NV’s (STLA - Free Report) auto brand, Jeep, recently announced plans to stop selling non-electrified vehicles in most European markets by the end of this year. However, its plan for the same in the United States, which happens to be its biggest and most important market, is considerably less clear.
The brand intends to sell only hybrids in Europe in the near future and has a small electric crossover planned for the market soon. The progress is much slower in the United States, despite the success of the brand’s 4xe models. However, Stellantis plans to generate half of its sales from electric vehicles (EVs) in North America by the decade's end.
The brand has already tackled the 22-mile trail on electric power alone, with the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe testifying that Jeep is technically equipped to go off-roading on battery power alone. The concern remains majorly over the issue of power grids in the country and the bandwidth required to support the massive upheaval the firm has planned regarding EVs.
There have been promises from the Biden administration to move the country toward EVs. That is a bright spot, as it is likely that efforts will be made to develop the country’s power situation, which is a prerequisite.
Shares of STLA have fallen 36.6% over the past year compared with its industry’s 31.4% decline.
