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.

The “AI-enabled” car will go 350 to 400 miles - as long as it’s not carrying humans…

I got bashed for saying EV’s will be 50% market share by 2030.

It’s basically guaranteed. Just watch the trends. It won’t need force, just market powers.

“...can travel 350 to 400 miles per charge”

Maybe on a full 100% charge, but getting the last 10% of charge takes as much time and energy as the first 90%...so I’ve heard.

Doncha mean a Fiat? Fix It Again, Tony!

Chrysler was a terrible car, long before Mercedes bought them. After losing billions, the Germans sold them to the Italians. Fiat and Chrysler were a match made in the slums. Two crap companies merged into one even larger, and even crappies company.

Chrysler files bankruptcy in 2029.

And gets bailed out in 2030.

Someone posted a pic a while back of the AAA charging truck. “Yeah, my car stopped. Can you guys bring me 5 gallons of electrons please?”

Yes, but government ordered them!
Since Chrysler is owned by Fiat, they are being pressured even more. Europeans really lost any sense as far as “global warming” is concerned.

I wonder what Jeep buyers are going to think about this. Off roaders can bring extra cans of gas, but how do you bring extra batteries? The weight would be tremendous.

Let’s see how that works for them. Not well I’m guessing.

There’s literally no reason for anybody to buy any new jeep now as the manufacturing of spare parts will also go away. Fiat has no incentive to enable the maintenance of existing ICEs if it’s trying to sell EVs.
