Stellantis shares down 40% to 43% since 2021 merger as new CEO resets electrification plans
By Eve
Stellantis shares have fallen roughly 40% to 43% since the January 2021 merger of Fiat Chrysler and Groupe PSA, with the decline accelerating in early 2024 amid weaker financial results and concerns over cost cutting and EV investments. Former CEO Carlos Tavares departed in December 2024 following criticism of aggressive cost controls and ambitious programmes, and new CEO Antonio Filosa is now prioritising U.S. market recovery, pricing resets, and improved supplier relations. The automaker is reevaluating its product and electrification plans as it prepares to outline its next strategic phase.
Why it matters
A major global OEM reassessing its EV investment strategy may shift the timing, scale or geographic focus of charging infrastructure partnerships and site development. Stellantis fleet electrification plans underpin depot and destination charging demand across Europe and North America, so any slowdown or pivot affects CPO pipeline visibility.

Stellantis CEO pledges continued US EV rollout despite $26 billion write-off and shift to consumer demand focus
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa confirmed at the Paris Motor Show that the automaker will introduce new electric vehicles for the US market, despite EVs representing just 6.4% of sales in Q3 and a $26 billion financial hit from EV related write-offs in 2025, primarily in North America. The commitment comes as part of the FaSTLAne 2030 strategy launched in May 2026, which tailors product output to regional markets and emphasises consumer demand over regulatory compliance. Filosa's remarks follow the December 2024 resignation of former CEO Carlos Tavares and a renewed focus on internal combustion engine powertrains.
Why it matters
A major automaker reaffirming US EV investment after massive write-offs signals continued OEM demand for charging infrastructure, even as the strategy pivots to consumer led rather than regulation driven deployment. The regional tailoring approach may influence where and how charging networks expand to support Stellantis vehicles.
Stellantis begins Leapmotor B10 electric SUV production at Zaragoza plant in Spain
Stellantis and Leapmotor have started production of the Leapmotor B10 electric SUV at the Zaragoza plant in Spain, combining Stellantis' manufacturing network with Leapmotor's EV technology to expand affordable electric mobility in Europe. The facility already produces the Opel Corsa, Peugeot 208 and Lancia Ypsilon. The move forms part of Stellantis' FaSTLAne 2030 strategy to adapt manufacturing operations to the changing automotive market.
Why it matters
The production launch demonstrates how established European automotive infrastructure is being adapted to integrate global EV technology partnerships, potentially increasing the supply of affordable electric vehicles in the European market. For charging operators, expanded production of accessible EVs at major manufacturing sites signals growing demand for charging infrastructure to support fleet and consumer adoption across Spain and wider Europe.
Blue Energy Motors joins government PARIVARTAN scheme to supply electric heavy-duty trucks in Delhi-NCR
Blue Energy Motors has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to participate in the PARIVARTAN Scheme, which offers financial incentives and tax concessions to fleet operators replacing aging, high-emission trucks and buses with zero-emission electric models across the Delhi-National Capital Region. The commercial vehicle maker will supply electric heavy-duty trucks to logistics providers transitioning away from fossil fuels under the programme.
Why it matters
The scheme creates a direct procurement pathway for electric truck suppliers targeting fleet operators in one of India's largest logistics corridors, with government-backed financial support lowering the barrier to heavy-duty EV adoption. For charging infrastructure providers, the programme signals growing demand for depot and en-route charging solutions capable of serving commercial electric trucks in the NCR.
