@@john1703there isn’t a straight answer to the question at this point. As she said, she gave a rationale answer to what was a business operations question. She’s speaking honestly to flag challenges now with the hope of opening productive conversation to get to a solution.

Not one of us knows what she has to deal with on a day to day basis. Sometimes I feel she's in her position because others who failed before her were too soft and bewildered by the entire situation. She seems like she takes little sh*t, is aware of the enormous scale of the problem ahead and understands what the worst case scenario will look like.

Pretty much like ICE vehicles used to be if you were lucky! Supply versus demand drives the market, if you're duped by big oil then you're the idiot missing out...

@@ricbrook7059 well, when a public charger takes 45 minutes to add 20 miles of range to a car with a range of over 200 miles, you do the maths. I count it to be at least 8 hours if you need to recharge an almost empty battery. If that's not several hours, then what is?

If Stellantis won't supply ICE cars, people will just buy from manufacturers who will - it's that simple. Electric cars, especially in the UK with our woefully inadequate charging network and crumbling national grid, simply do not suit a great many people. Beyond that, the majority of people in the UK can't charge at home, a great number of those will not be able to charge at home in the next decade or so (people living in flats, people with no off-street parking and no on-street parking outside their home, etc etc). Ultimately, people don't want to have a car that takes 45 minutes to add 20 miles of charge as I have experienced at supposed "rapid" charging points local to me. The governments will have to bow to the will of the people, at the end of the day. Scrap the ZEV mandate.

Maybe the cars she produces just aren't good enough to attract new buyers. The market will always decide, and it seems to like Teslas, but not Stellantis vehicles. She should answer that question, instead of lots of excuses.
