I was recently reading about the Fiat 500, the EC version built in Mirafiori sold less than 5K and forced Stellantis to go back producing the ICE and add the Hybrid one, in order to save their sales. Considering it's a "city car" and the good amount of charging infrastructures in the main Italian cities, that's a signal that customers in Italy (and probably in Europe) are not yet ready for an EV world.
This is a clear response from the market and I'm glad that WRC Promoter is looking beyond saying that they might be continuing with sustainable fuels and Hybrids for the new regulations. Also, we need to consider that in some continents nobody is ready to buy EV. Look at South/Central America or Africa or even India. Who's gonna buy EVs there?
