An e-fuels exemption could spark “chaos” in the industry's push to electric vehicles, Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares has told Autocar
“I'm fine to go full speed on EVs, and demonstrate to the world that I am the best EV maker. I'm playing that game, full power in a regulatory framing that is given to me. Then the question: is this regulatory framing the best for the societies? Is that the best for the planet? And then we could write a book about that.
“It's funny, because from a political perspective, what do they say? They immediately go on ‘communications’ about saying, well, that's the fuel for the rich. That's a very attractive communication because if you say it's for the rich, everybody will say: ‘Oh, okay, we don't care, it's just for the rich’.
Tavares said he had no concerns over Stellantis’s ability to survive and thrive no matter the regulations, and said the firm would be “one of, if not the only survivor”. Instead his broader concerns were with the disruption it would have on societies due to the flip-flopping of legislation and the instability it caused a huge industrial industry employing millions of people.
On other topics, Tavares didn’t rule out a gigafactory for Stellantis in the UK but that the decision was ultimately in “the hands of those who decide the size of the market” and as such “was not a Stellantis question”. He said he was open to adding to the five gigafactories already committed by the firm to anywhere that had access to clean energy, the right logistical costs, and not trapped by raw material sourcing regulations.
