Stellantis is absolute dogshit. Per example, the C3 is a combustion car with an electric motor (and a battery). It has no electric perks. I hated it. Electric cars need pure electric platforms.
- I would never buy a Stellantis car. Stellantis is the bargain bin of the automotive industry and you get what you pay for.
  
  I don't know. I've had a Fiat 500 electric for almost four years, and I love it!
- Interesting! Can you explain what you missed and what you’d have needed in the C3? Why can’t you build an electric car alongside an ICE car and have a good EV?
  
  I'm pretty sure you CAN do it because from everything I see, the new BMW i cars (so not the 3 or 8) are pretty great?
  
  No one‑pedal driving, no regeneration settings (actually there aren’t settings for most features). The D for drive is on a lever you pull backward and R is forward. When D was selected the car crept forward like a combustion‑engine vehicle without pressing the pedal. Fake and poor range estimate. Slow charging speed. I don’t remember everything, but I know I hated driving it compared to my Kia EV3.
  EVs need a dedicated electric platform so they can have a larger battery, a frunk, and no central transmission hump inside the cabin.
  Edit: A dedicated electric platform also means software built for electric vehicles (not shared with an ICE platform).
  
  Thanks! I’ve never driven an EV and it shows
- Same with the Mercedes EQA, EQB and EQC.
