LONDON: Stellantis NV’s Peugeot brand is getting a boost from rising electric-vehicle (EV) demand, helping the nameplate emerge from quality issues that tarnished its image and drove away customers.

Among retail customers in France and Germany, EV orders made up more than half of the total for models like the 208 city car and 3008 sports utility vehicle in April and May, brand head Alain Favey said in an interview in Paris.
