Major U.S. car brand to go full electric, will no longer offer internal combustion vehicles

Automaker Chrysler just announced plans to go completely electric by 2028, anticipating the release of its first electric vehicle by 2025.

Chrysler announced the plans along with a new AI-enabled vehicle system powered by a battery that the company says can travel 350 to 400 miles per charge, as The Associated Press reported.

Chrysler is part of Europe’s Stellantis, which last month announced a new strategy to embed AI-enabled software into millions of vehicles across its 14 different brands. This could gain Stellantis $22.6 billion in annual revenue by 2030.

This is all part of the race among automakers to produce more completely electric and hybrid cars that also have more autonomous driving features. Overall, this would begin shifting cars away from gasoline-powered engines.

As one of the main American brands of Stellantis, Chrysler will be on the front lines of this change in the auto industry in North America.

Major U.S. car brand

That would be a European car brand, not US.

Would never buy a Chisler anyway. Thought about a Jeep until I talked to a few owners.

Chrysler should include warnings of this sort: do not drive this vehicle on I-95 in Virginia during the wintertime.

o you have a place for the spare gas can?

Yep, back at our car or trailer where we parked. We always have extra gas.

As a side note, our tanks average about 10 gallons which will get us on average about 200 miles per tank. Plenty of gas for a full day of sledding without worrying about our battery dying out.........

Considering what your state has just experienced with your snow storm and the counties inability to deal with it, you sound like a virgin sex education professor trying to explain an orgasm...

In other words, you don't know what the hell you're talking about......LOL!

Build induction coils into the roadway to charge the vehicle while you drive.

When the batteries die and the average owner can’t pay to replace them, they can blow them up for some fun.

Like that guy in Finland:
