Maserati is dropping its big V-8s as it prepares to start rolling out EVs across the line.

Even as the performance icon makes plans to join the EV race, it has some powerful internal combustion models in mind.

Some 13,000 workers in Ohio, Michigan and Missouri who began the strike against the Detroit 3 are hoping for a good outcome and ready to stay off the job longer if necessary.

The UAW will give strike pay to workers at Kuka Toledo Production Operations and Mobis, which are separate companies located inside the Stellantis plant that's on strike.

The Detroit 3 defend their positions with fact checks on UAW President Shawn Fain's statements.

Ram's electric pickup is due out in late 2024, and Alfa Romeo and Chrysler plan to drop all internal combustion engines in the years ahead.

Chrysler plans to go all-electric in five years, but its first EV, a crossover based on the Airflow concept, isn't scheduled to arrive until 2025.

The Charger and Challenger are going out of production as gasoline vehicles soon, but they'll be back in 2024 as the brand's first EVs.

Ram will get its first EV this year when an electric version of the ProMaster van arrives. That will be followed by the electric 1500 pickup in 2024.

After limping along with only a single nameplate, Fiat is adding the electric 500e to its U.S. lineup in 2024.

Other than the limited-run 33 Stradale supercar coming next year, Alfa Romeo has no changes to its U.S. lineup planned until 2026.

Jeep has shown off the Wagoneer S and Recon EVs it plans to introduce in 2024, while the Wagoneer will have the next addition to the brand's 4xe lineup of plug-in hybrids.

Stellantis North America COO Mark Stewart didn't elaborate on what the company would do with Belvidere but said it would be a 'very, very good' solution.

The strike's impact could increase quickly if the UAW follows through on its plan to escalate the strike and ramp up pressure on the automakers at the bargaining table.

The pickup gets many of the same updates that already were made this year to the Wrangler, including UConnect 5 with a 12.3-inch screen.
