As Stellantis prepares to unleash a flood of battery-electric vehicles that will redefine its portfolio, its dealers are getting crash courses on fast-charging stations and the electrical infrastructure they'll need to sell those EVs.
Instead of talking about moving metal, stores are dipping into a new world involving power companies and energy sourcing, said Randy Dye, chairman of the Stellantis National Dealer Council. These are different topics than Dye is used to, he said, but he is learning on the fly.
Dye said he's installing three fast chargers at his stores — two at Daytona Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep-Ram and another at Maserati-Alfa Romeo of Daytona.
