Stellantis, the company formed last year through the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and France's PSA Group, has some catching up to do when it comes to comes to electric cars. Chief executive Carlos Tavares said he knows that, of course, but being first isn't everything.
Tavares is approaching his one year anniversary leading Stellantis, a company formed on January 16, 2021, through the merger of the two automakers. The sprawling company, officially headquartered in the Netherlands, sells cars, trucks and SUVs under 14 different brands, including Dodge, Fiat, Ram, Jeep, Chrysler, Citroën and Peugeot.
Stellantis currently offers 18 different electric models across various brands, almost all in Europe.

The company plans to add eight more electric models in the next year and a half but, for now, offers no fully electric vehicles at all in the US.
