There has been lots of rumours of panic flying around FCA that they are finding themselves with no path to electrification. No R&D, no battery making capacity and an internal anti EV culture led by their last CEO. This article gives a glimpse into one of the reasons they may have done this merger.
GM’s approach was to contract out a car (The Bolt) to Korean firms and then assembling it in the US with a GM sticker on it. But Bolts are crazy expensive for them and sales are disappointing. I wonder if GM may not try some kind of merger approach with Volkswagen.
Here’s the article on FCA.
