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.

Chrysler’s sales in the USA have been declining for years. This is a good idea for them to focus on one market.

Have you every considered buying a Chrysler this century?

“Tesla’s has not made a dime”

Tesla made a 1.1 billion dollar profit in 4th gtr 2021.

They sold 495k cars in 2020 and 895k cars in 2021 and could have sold 200k more but the supply chain issues held them back.

Ev cars are the future

It’s not moving fast, but ICE has been stagnant for 50+ years. Betting against the EV market force now is a lot like going for vacuum tubes in the 60s. It’s the dead end.

Electric cars are the old technology. They preceded steam powered cars, piston engines cars, rotary engine cars, and turbine engine cars.

What's changed is that automobiles have become standardized enough that government bureaucrats can stick their fingers in the process.

Finding and mining the components for batteries increases in difficulty. Melting and recycling internal combustion engines doesn't require finding and mining more iron or aluminum.

Off roaders can bring extra cans of gas, but how do you bring extra batteries? The weight would be tremendous.

Just put a portable generator in the trunk, with a 20 gallon gas tank, and you’re good go!

True, and there will be manufacturers making petrol, diesel etc cars. Most likely the commuter, smaller cars will be all electric soon as that just makes sense. But ice cars and trucks will be available as long as there is a demand.

If nuclear can provide the recharge quickly and batteries can be improved substantially, why not?

EV’s aren’t ‘new’ in that sense of time, but they are the latest tech wave. When has it ever been a good idea to put your money against the latest tech wave?

Luddite economics rarely works. It’s some times off from being economical for most people, but it’s quickly changing. ICE cars are rising in price so fast it’s hard to keep up. EV’s are dropping at least as fast.

You think that's just the market causing that?

Government incentives and more sticks than carrots can do wonders to push an idea that won't work in our time...

“Everything changes” and “nothing stays the same forever” are of course perennial maxims.

However, when everything changes at once, the word is “apocalypse.”

No need for extra batteries, just bring your handy-dandy solar charger! After a few weeks of clear weather, you could go maybe a couple of more miles...

You need to understand. The government is making these decisions.

To be fair, you could use a Chrysler if you have a boat. You can us the car for a boat anchor. 😉

50 miles if they make it an SUV

Toyota is going all electric. All their current cars have a 450 mile range and said 600 miles is the goal in 2 years

They have a new EV Tundra coming out in 2023 that is going to be a game changer.

Btw the new Mercedes EV just went 690 miles on a single charge

“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.”

Yeah, that merger was the final end of the Jeep legacy. They are just Fiat road car garbage now.
