Stellantis presented the first of four BEV-by-design platforms that will lead the group towards the complete electrification of the offer. 700 km of autonomy with the Performance package, charging 20-80 in 27 minutes, efficiency at the top of the category
Versatile, it will allow the creation of sedans, crossovers and SUVs of all the brands of the former Fiat group
– It will allow over 700 km of autonomy. And unparalleled performance for efficiency, charging time, amount of energy available on board. With these promises, STLA Medium, the first electric car platform BEV-by-design presented by Stellantis to enable the switch to electric.
STLA Medium is the first of four different proposals that will be presented in the coming years and already announced in 2021, during the EV Day, when the former Fiat group announced its plan for electrification. Objectives reaffirmed in the strategic plan Dare Forward 2030, including achieving 100% of the sales mix with battery electric vehicles (BEV) in Europe and 50% with passenger cars and light commercial vehicles BEV in the United States by 2030.
