30 November 2022, 05:47:11

Stellantis and its dealership network across the United States are driving toward their electrified future. Working with its 2,600-plus dealers, the company is focused on the dealership transition to electric-vehicle sales and service, offering consulting and on-site evaluation of electric vehicle (EV) integration needs within every area of the dealership business. To date, nearly 70% of dealers are in the process of assessing their individual readiness. Future Energy is also offering Stellantis dealerships EV integration services.

Stellantis unveiled Dare Forward 2030, its bold strategic plan for the coming decade. The brand has committed to becoming the industry champion in the fight against climate change, reaching carbon net zero emissions by 2038. As part of that leadership, the company is setting the course for 100% of sales in Europe and 50% of sales in the United States to be battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) by the end of this decade. The company plans to have more than 75 BEVs globally and reach global annual BEV sales of 5 million vehicles by 2030. In the U.S., the company plans to offer more than 25 BEVs by 2030.
