Fiat (part of Stellantis) goes absolutely electrical inside this decade. A radical change for the model was hinted at immediately by Olivier François, Fiat CEO and Stellantis CMO.

The Italian model intends to step by step develop into electric-only within the years 2025-2030, which signifies that the transition will speed up within the second half of the last decade:

“These days, on this new situation, it has a brand new mission – our mission – to create sustainable mobility for all. It’s our responsibility to carry to market electrical automobiles that value not more than these with an inner combustion engine, as quickly as we will, according to the falling prices of batteries. We’re exploring the territory of sustainable mobility for all: that is our best challenge. Between 2025 and 2030, our product line-up will step by step develop into electric-only. This can be a radical change for Fiat.”

Fiat already introduced that by the end of 2021 it will electrify 60% of its lineup, nonetheless, now we’re speaking about 100% and never xEVs, however electric-only automobiles.

We’re not stunned by the brand new goal, particularly since Fiat is generally centered on Europe and small automobiles. The corporate is definitely late to the social gathering after years of neglecting EVs.

The just lately launched new Fiat 500 electric is already supplied solely as an electric-only automobile (the standard and hybrid variations are primarily based on the earlier era, and can be produced so long as there can be demand).

The following EV is perhaps the Fiat Panda electrical, hinted by the Fiat Idea Centoventi, shown at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.

One of many main parts in Fiat/Stellantis electrification plan is to type out the EV-dedicated platforms for all of the manufacturers of the PSA Group and FCA. We guess that point, required to develop the brand new world options is the important thing issue why we are going to see the transition in 2025-2030.

One other factor is the battery provide. In keeping with rumors, Fiat would like to see a new battery gigafactory in Italy to support its main manufacturing sites.
