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.

Golly I read something like that in revelation
“... ICE has been stagnant for 50+ years.”
And with that one statement, you have proven you have no clue what you are talking about. The increase in Hp per unit volume, the various improvements in aspiration, fuel efficiency, reliability, and mechanical efficiency since the ‘70s (50+ years) have been dramatic. Go back to playing with your electric toys, because it’s obvious you have no grasp of this topic.
Honda and KIA also have fuel cell electric vehicles. Unfortunately, the only hydrogen refueling places are in southern and central California.
It’s also about money. When the government pays 10k for each EV, carmakers will go as green as grass. When it began to pay to go green, Chevron went green too. Basic economics.
I owned two. One with a VW engine (great) and one Mitsubishi 22.4 (sucked).
The Tesla Supercharger is the fastest charging option when you’re away from home, allowing you to charge your car up to 200 miles in 15 minutes.
