Stellantis mulls building future EVs in Spain, reports say

    The Citroen e-C4 full-electric compact hatchback is built in Madrid, one of three Stellantis factories in Spain.

    Stellantis is negotiating with the Spanish government to invest in the production of small electric cars in the country, according to reports in the Spanish media.

    The automaker intends to bring the STLA Small EV-focused platform to its factories in Spain, the business newspaper Cinco Dias reported on Monday. 

    The two parties are negotiating over conditions for state aid, the report said.

    Stellantis is Spain’s largest automotive producer, with about 850,000 cars assembled last year, in factories in Vigo, Zaragoza and Madrid. 

    The Vigo factory built about 404,000 vehicles last year, mostly commercial vans, including electric versions, for Citroen, Opel/Vauxhall and Peugeot, as well as for van partner Toyota. It also builds the Peugeot 2008 small SUV. There were 365,000 cars built at Zaragoza, which makes the Opel Crossland and Corsa and the Citroen C3 Aircross.

    The smaller factory in Madrid built 82,000 cars in 2022, exclusively the Citroen C4. 

    Of that total, about 113,000 were full-electric vehicles, Stellantis has said. Future Stellantis EVs will be built on architectures called STLA Small, Medium, Large and Frame (for pickups and large SUVs). The automaker said last week that STLA Large vehicles would be allocated to its factory in Cassino, Italy.

    Models on STLA Small will begin to appear by 2025, Stellantis says. 

    Spain’s incentive program for EV and battery production is known as PERTE, and plans to disburse a total of 3 billion euros ($3.2 billion). Two other automakers, Volkswagen Group and Renault Group, are also seeking funding from the program. In the first phase, 900 million euros will be spent.

    A VW Group consortium of 60 companies, led by Seat, plans to spend 10 billion euros to turn Spain into a hub for EV production. That group will get about 400 million euros of PERTE funding, the government said last November.

    Stellantis received about 67 million euros in the first round of funding, Cinco Dias reported.
