    Didn’t a German company - Stellantis buy the big three in order to force the car makers to go EV?

      Stellantis

      Stellantis is an Italian company, owner of FIAT, Chrysler and Peugeot, and they have no intention of doing EVs, they’d rather continue with the ICE cars they’re already building profitably. Accountants do not like change to production lines.

      And how they would force all American car makers to go EV, anyway? That doesn’t make sense.

        The Ram REV is due out before the end of the year. Stellantis has also committed to an electric sports car to replace the Challenger/Charger line. They has axed the hemi line in favor of a more economical i-6. Ford and GM are doing fairly well in the ev market. The main hold-up here in the states is infrastructure and price. I have hopes that both situations will be addresses in the next 4 years or so. While I don’t expect the situation to be perfect in that time, progress is progress.
