Stellantis 新企业瞄准 "充电焦虑症

Stellantis, a global powerhouse in the auto industry, is set to soothe ‘charging anxiety’ with the launch of a new ‘Charging & Energy’ business unit. This fresh enterprise has ambitious plans to streamline electric vehicle usage and make the most of the burgeoning green mobility market.

该单元的重点是 Free2move 收费, a comprehensive platform aiming to give customers access to over 500,000 charging points across Europe by year’s end. This move comes as a response to the electric vehicle (EV) industry’s insufficient charging network, a concern for EV drivers.

Interestingly, Stellantis is still considering whether to use Tesla’s charging standard, a model already adopted by Ford and General Motors in North America. Ricardo Stamatti, the senior vice president of the new business unit, hinted at future discussions, stating, “We look forward to discussing more of that soon.”

Stellantis, whose portfolio includes Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, Fiat, and Opel, targets 100% of its European passenger car sales and half of its U.S. passenger car and light-duty truck sales to be EVs by 2030. “The margin on energy (used for charging points) itself is fairly rich,” Stamatti explained, foreseeing that charging will soon expand beyond energy to advertising, retail, and media consumption.

Free2move Charge 不仅为家庭充电设施的安装提供支持，还将为北美、欧洲和其他尚未公布的地区的公共充电点提供接入服务。

斯塔马蒂 确认 该倡议将涉及大量投资和各种重要合作伙伴，包括能源公司、零售商、硬件制造商和公用事业公司。有关该项目的更多细节，包括财务目标，将在 2023 年全年推出。
