Stellantis has announced a partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to further its commitment to achieving carbon net zero by 2038, as outlined in its Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. This agreement highlights Stellantis’ dedication to advancing its electrification efforts by educating U.S. consumers and dealers about the benefits of electric vehicles (EVs). Stellantis will collaborate with Veloz, an organization that promotes EV awareness, to provide discounted EVs to underprivileged communities and contribute $10 million towards the installation of public EV charging stations.

Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, emphasized that the partnership aims to reduce 10 to 12 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over its duration. The agreement will also improve U.S. consumers’ access to Stellantis’ advanced technologies, including five plug-in hybrids and two fully electric vehicles. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance sustainable transportation options across Stellantis’ brand portfolio.

California Governor Gavin Newsom and CARB officials have endorsed the partnership as a significant contribution to California’s environmental objectives. They noted the importance of industry collaboration in advancing the state’s clean air and climate change goals. The agreement is also expected to improve health outcomes in California by accelerating the deployment of zero-emission vehicles.

Stellantis currently offers five plug-in hybrids in the U.S. market and plans to launch eight new battery electric vehicle (BEV) models this year. The company aims to offer 48 BEV models globally by the end of 2024 and has committed over €50 billion to electrification over the next decade. Stellantis targets a 100% BEV sales mix for passenger cars in Europe and a 50% mix in the U.S. by 2030. To support these targets, Stellantis is securing around 400 GWh of battery capacity, supported by six battery manufacturing plants in North America and Europe.
