Resistance to Europe’s aggressive electric vehicle targets is growing among automakers, and a senior Stellantis executive has become one of the loudest voices. He cautioned that charging ahead with unrealistic electrification deadlines could, in his words, destabilize the entire European auto sector.
His comments reflect mounting industry anxiety that policy is outpacing both technology and consumer demand. As deadlines loom, more manufacturers appear willing to push back publicly, arguing that a forced transition risks doing real economic damage.
