Stellantis Proves EVs Can Go The Distance: STLA Medium Sets New Long-Range Standards

The STLA Medium platform from Stellantis has demonstrated impressive real-world highway capabilities, challenging the notion that electric vehicles (EVs) can match the convenience and range of traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

Peugeot E-3008’s Long-Range Potential

The recent journey of the Peugeot E-3008, built on the STLA Medium platform and equipped with the long-range BEV propulsion system, from Paris to Nice in France has highlighted the platform’s exceptional efficiency and range. The EV completed the trip with just two charging stops, maintaining speeds of up to 130 km/h throughout the journey and an average temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

Ned Curic, Chief Engineering and Technology Officer at Stellantis, expressed the company’s focus on creating EV technology that directly benefits customers stating, “The STLA Medium platform’s long-range capability makes it ideal for long-distance travel without compromising on the convenience and efficiency of a BEV.”

STLA Medium’s Efficiency Breakthrough

Simulations have shown similar results for other EVs built on the STLA Medium platform, such as the Peugeot E-5008 and Opel Grandland, when traveling long distances across Europe, including routes from Turin to Naples and Prague to Brussels. The STLA Medium long-range version is the only platform in its class capable of covering nearly 1000 km at highway speeds with just two charging stops, cementing its position as a leader in efficiency and convenience.

Moreover, the Peugeot E-3008, Peugeot E-5008, and Opel Grandland are already available on the STLA Medium platform, with five more models expected to launch by the end of 2026.

Sustainable and Efficient EV Technology

As a result, these EVs offer the core advantages of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) – zero tailpipe emissions, lower operating costs, and a quiet, smooth ride – combined with the ability to travel longer distances with fewer stops, thanks to the high-performance ACC batteries produced at Stellantis’ gigafactory in the Hauts-de-France region.
