Nothing can express, their aversion against innovation as Fiat CEO statement: "Please don't buy Fiat 500e electric car". They only made Fiat 500 electric to fulfill regulation requirements, so they can sells more of 130 years tech, which is cheaper then investing into new clean tech . Only Tesla's success, made them finally innovate. I personally consider this attitude arrogant and would never buy product from such a company. http://www.reuters.com/article/chrsyelr-ceo-evs-idUSL1N0O71MS20140521 http://www.reuters.com/article/chrsyelr-ceo-evs-idUSL1N0O71M...

If you look at the history of Fiat/Chrysler in the last years is a history of resurgence from troubled waters, probably not the right company to be the innovator in a money-loosing field at this point in time. So I don't think their attitude is conservatorism or lack of vision, judging from the business results of the last years I bet they'll jump on the EV bandwagon as soon as it starts making money.
