To achieve its carbon-neutral goal, Stellantis wants all of its European sales to be purely electric by 2030. The EU says it will ban sales of new cars with internal combustion engines by 2035.
In the US, where there seems to be no legislative ban, EV incentives exist in the form of tax breaks at the federal and state levels. Stellantis is aiming for electric vehicles to account for 50% of sales by 2030.

That will change as the automaker begins using the STLA Small, STLA Medium, STLA Large and STLA Frame platforms, all of which are designed around the needs of electric powertrains.
These architectures are expected to enter production by mid-decade and will help DS, Alfa Romeo and Lancia become all-electric brands before the end of the decade.
