Stellantis Abandons Goal of Becoming All-Electric Brand in Europe by 2030

Stellantis has officially confirmed what many knew was coming: the auto giant will no longer aim for 100-percent electric vehicle sales in Europe by 2030. The announcement was made by Jean-Philippe Imparato, Head of Stellantis Europe, at the 2025 Munich Motor Show.

This decision marks a step back from the Dare Forward 2030 plan presented in 2022 by former CEO Carlos Tavares. That initiative included €50 billion in investments in electrification and a transition to an all-electric European lineup by the end of the decade.

However, faced with stagnating demand for EVs, continued high prices, delays in developing sufficient charging infrastructure and increased competition from Chinese brands, Stellantis has had to readjust its ambitions.

Greater flexibility
Under the leadership of new CEO Antonio Filosa, Stellantis is focusing instead on a multi-energy strategy. The company will continue to invest in electric vehicles but will also develop hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains to better meet the diverse needs of consumers and preserve its profitability.

Imparato also described the European Union's goal of mandating 100-percent zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035 as "unrealistic" under current conditions.
