Its sales and profits have cratered amid intensifying competition, and the company's EV launches in the U.S. have misfired. Both the Jeep Wagoneer S and Dodge Charger DaytonaEV flopped, leaving owners frustrated by unfinished software. Earlier this year, Stellantis also pulled the plugon plug-in hybrids in the U.S. as regulations shifted, axing the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, Cherokee 4xe, and Chrysler Pacifica PHEV from its lineup to refocus on its profitable gas trucks and SUVs.</p><p>Now the company is restarting from scratch. Over the next five years, it plans to launch 29 new EVs, 15 plug-in hybrids or extended-range models, 24 traditional hybrids, and 39 combustion-powered vehicles riding on the new architecture. At the heart of the plan is STLA One, a new, scalable architecture that will consolidate five existing platforms into a single platform. It will cover three key segments: subcompact (B), compact (C), and large family-oriented vehicles (D).</p><section>        <span class="svg-search">                                                </span>                            <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://cdn.motor1.com/images/static/16x9-tr.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" alt="2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Six Pack sedan" width="16" height="9" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://cdn.motor1.com/images/static/16x9-tr.png"/>        <div><p>2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Six Pack sedan</p></div>    <div>Photo by: Dodge</div></section><div><div id="ads_6122441_EV_ev_us_Rectangle_rectangle_1_1779383844"></div></div><p>STLA One will support an 800-volt architecture for faster charging and better efficiency, with 70% parts commonality across segments. That kind of scalability is exactly what several automakers are chasing right now. Shared software and electrical architectures can reduce complexity and help offset the enormous capital costs of going electric. With that Stellantis is joining several automakers, including Ford, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz, who all have had to do a proper ground-up rethink of their EV plans.</p><p>While the STLA One platform will be developed for multiple powertrains, its EV version will use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, a chemistry that's now dominant in China and lets battery makers reduce their dependence on expensive minerals like nickel and cobalt. The trade-off has traditionally been lower energy density, but advances in LFP technology in China have narrowed the gap in range and fast-charging speeds.</p><div><div id="ads_6122441_EV_ev_us_Native_native_3_1779383844"></div></div><div><div id="ads_6122441_EV_ev_us_Native_native_2_1779383844"></div></div><section>        <span class="svg-search">                                                </span>                            <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://cdn.motor1.com/images/static/16x9-tr.png?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" alt="CATL Shenxing fast-charging LFP battery announcement" width="16" height="9" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://cdn.motor1.com/images/static/16x9-tr.png"/>        <div><p>CATL Shenxing fast-charging LFP battery</p></div>    </section><p>It also adopts a cell-to-body battery-pack design, integrating cells directly into the vehicle's structure rather than stacking them in separate modules. The approach sheds weight, reduces complexity, and frees up space to pack in more cells, which boosts usable energy density.</p><div><div id="ads_6122441_EV_ev_us_Rectangle_rectangle_2_1779383844"></div></div><p>On the technology side, the automaker will expand its partnership with Qualcomm to integrate the Snapdragon Digital Chassis across its vehicles to improve infotainment and the cockpit. For autonomy, the company will incorporate Qualcomm's Ride Pilot ADAS platform for driver-assistance features and partner with U.K.-based autonomous-vehicle startup Wayve to bring hands-free, supervised door-to-door automated driving, similar to Tesla's Full-Self Driving (FSD) system.</p>    <hr/><div></div>    <div>        <span class="normal-label-xlarge">What do you think?</span>        <div>                                                    <div>                <span class="top-counter-comments-prefix">View</span>                                    <div>                        <div></div>                    </div>                                <span class="top-counter-comments-suffix">Comments</span>            </div>        </div>    </div>    <hr/><p>It's a sweeping and ambitious plan.

TSLA

STLA

<p>Stellantis is launching a $70 billion plan to revitalize its electric vehicle (EV) strategy, introducing new models and a scalable platform using lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The automaker aims to release 29 new EVs and 15 hybrids by 2030, while enhancing software and autonomy through partnerships with Qualcomm and Wayve. This ambitious initiative follows previous setbacks in the EV market, as Stellantis seeks to compete with rivals like Tesla and Ford.</p>

- Stellantis aims to catch up in the electric vehicle market by unveiling a $60 billion turnaround plan that includes the launch of 29 new EVs and a new scalable platform called STLA One.  
- The STLA One platform will use an 800-volt architecture with lithium-iron phosphate batteries to enhance efficiency and support multiple vehicle types.  
- Additionally, Stellantis is expanding its collaboration with Qualcomm for improved software and driver-assistance systems while partnering with Wayve for automated driving features.
