.StellantisNA STLA medium EV platform will underpin the first U.S. model:
Like most EV platforms, the STLA Medium is modular, meaning it can be configured with different dimensions, suspensions, and more. Along with wheelbases that range from about 106 to 114 inches, it can be equipped with a single electric motor on the front axle or motors on both axles. The former setup obviously provides front-wheel drive, and the latter provides all-wheel drive. Stellantis says power output will range from about 214 horsepower to up to around 382 horses.
The STLA Medium platform will also offer two battery sizes. Stellantis only revealed details about the larger battery with a 98.0-kWh useable capacity. The company says that's expected to provide 435 miles of range per charge, but that's based on the optimistic European WLTP test cycle. That translates to around 370 miles of range based on the EPA's methodology.
While some of the latest EVs feature a more powerful 800-volt electrical architecture, the STLA Medium platform will use a 400-volt system. This is said to enable the battery to charge from 20 to 80 percent in 27 minutes using a DC fast-charger. In a virtual meeting today with reporters, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said the main reason the company made that decision was to help keep the upcoming EV models affordable.
Not only is the STLA Medium platform designed to switch from a 400- to an 800-volt electrical system in the future, but Stellantis says it will be be able to accept new battery chemistries such as solid-state as well as nickel- and cobalt-free packs. To help with packaging costs and production volumes, the perimeter dimensions of the STLA Medium's battery packs are both the same and feature common tray and cooling designs.
, and today Stellantis representatives mentioned that the STLA Medium platform will underpin EVs with "high off-road capability."
