Stellantis pauses EV production at French plants over battery shortage
Stellantis is halting production at three French plants for at least one week, including two cases linked to shortages of EV batteries. The pause underscores supply constraints at battery supplier ACC and their effect on vehicle output.
Stellantis is stopping production at its plants in Sochaux, Rennes and Mulhouse for at least one week, according to the source.
In two of the cases, the interruption is linked to shortages in the supply of EV batteries. The source says supplier ACC is struggling to keep up with demand for its nickel-based long-range batteries.
The report does not specify which models are affected or whether production will resume after the one-week pause.
