I’ve expressed my reservations on all electric vehicles enough for most. That acknowledged, I must state my real reservation is with an ALL electric lineup for most brands. Yes, there is a viable market for electrics, but there equally is a much larger segment who does not want them too. The free market reflects that reality.
I believe having a couple of all-electric offerings for a brand is smart and could be marginally profitable and the Alfa Romeo Milano is one of them. My wife and I have spent a great deal of time in Italy and Europe generally and our learning curve for the lifestyle is such that we recognize that there is a different relationship, a starkly different culture with the automobile than in America. So the all-electric push is understandable and small cars seem to meet that mindset much better in Europe.
The long and short of it is that by Fiat and Alfa Romeo offering electrics has credibility in Europe, so I reserve my reservations on a few small electrics for these brands. I remain skeptical about their profitability. That All electric brand thinking is totally dead for America. There is undoubtedly a steep learning curve ahead for Stellantis executives obviously.
Take my reluctant attitude to heart, a gentle warning that Dare Forward is in dire need of revision. Totally,
