Stellantis is investing big in an electric future

The Stellantis lineup is undergoing an electrified makeover.

The automaker is investing more than $35 billion through 2025 in electrification and software and plans to have four electric vehicle platforms that support driving ranges of 300 to 500 miles. Stellantis has set a goal of having electrified vehicles account for more than 40 percent of U.S. sales by 2030.

Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares says Jeep will lead the company’s EV push in the U.S.

Jeep’s Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid is out now and soon will be joined by a Grand Cherokee 4xe. The adventure brand will introduce its first battery-electric vehicle in 2023.

Ram CEO Mike Koval Jr. said in July that the brand will offer “a fully electrified solution in the majority of our segments by 2025 and a full portfolio of electric solutions for all of our segments no later than 2030.”

The performance-driven Dodge brand will add electrified power as well with a plug-in hybrid crossover, possibly called the Hornet, in 2022. It will follow that up with an electric muscle car in 2024. Dodge will preview its eco-friendly vision next year with an electric concept car.

A Chrysler crossover could be built alongside the Dodge Charger and Challenger on an electrified platform in 2024, which would give the product-needy Chrysler brand a jolt.

Alfa Romeo will go all-electric by 2027. Fiat will do the same by 2030, but it’s unclear whether those electric models will make it to the U.S.

Fiat’s only remaining U.S. nameplate, the 500X, isn’t expected to remain in production beyond 2024.
