Stellantis’s EV gamble backfires, prompting a pivot back to combustion
Stellantis says its forecast for rapid EV adoption was wrong, posting a 2025 net loss of $22.3 billion after $25.4 billion in unusual charges tied to its electric transition, canceling several EV programs and admitting weak U.S. EV sales; the company will reallocate more toward internal-combustion and hybrid models while continuing plug-ins, with Ram and Jeep key to return to profitability, and expects 2026 to bring improved execution and growth.
