Stellantis Shifts Gears: Jeep, Dodge, Ram EVs Set to Electrify
A new lineup of Stellantis EVs is ready to launch. Stellantis is the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, and Chrysler, all of which will have EVs soon.
Ford and GM have been in the EV market for a few years already, and the Stellantis brands continue to hold back and avoid building electric vehicles. Now, it’s time for the future of the Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, and Chrysler brands to show up with EVs that can be great for future diving experiences.
Let’s dig in and take a look at what these brands bring to the market to move into the future.
Stellantis has an extremely aggressive EV goal
Waiting until 2024 means Stellantis hasn’t embraced electric driving nearly as fast as other American automotive brands. This company created a new initiative called Dare Forward 2030. This new strategy shows the automotive company’s goal of 50% of total US sales and 100% in Europe to be electric by 2030. This is an incredible goal that explains much of what we’ve already seen this company change.
Some of the Stellantis brands will begin offering only electric vehicles soon. Two that will adopt a complete EV lineup are Alfa Romeo by 2027 and Chrysler by 2028.
Fiat brings a new electric 500e
The Fiat 500 was a bust in America, but the electric 500e has already been launched in US markets. This new version of the small Italian electric car should be one of the most affordable and useful city cars in the entire EV market. This car comes with a maximum driving range of 149 miles on a single charge, which can make it a pleasure to experience on the streets of your town. If you want a little car that shows off a fun side and flair for the unexpected, you’ll be glad to take the new Fiat 500e out for a drive.
Ram’s electric truck heads to dealers soon
One of the most hotly anticipated of the Stellantis EVs is the new Ram 1500 Revolution. This new electric truck is built on the STLA Large frame platform and is expected to deliver the most power and capability in the class. This electric Ram includes dual 250-kW electric motors that produce 654 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque. These figures should be enough to enable this Ram to tow up to 14,000 pounds and carry 2,800 pounds of payload.
The new Ram 1500 Revolution will have two battery options. The 168-kWh battery delivers a 350-mile range, while the 229-kWh battery returns 500 miles of driving on a single charge. Using the 800-volt fast charging architecture, this EV truck adds 110 miles of range in 10 minutes.
Dodge returns muscle cars with electric powertrains
The new Dodge Charger Daytona SRT will be the future of electric muscle cars. This new muscular car is one of the most aggressive moves for Stellantis with its new EVs. The Charger Daytona SRT is the replacement for the gas-powered Charger, and it comes with an exhaust noise system and multi-speed transmission with electro-mechanical shifting. The new 800-volt Banshee propulsion system will outperform the former SRT Hellcat engine in many ways.
This new electric Charger will feature a new badge that’s been resurrected from the Dodge muscle cars of the 1960s and 1970s. This is the three-point Fratzog badge design that was part of these early Dodge muscle cars. This use of the classic symbol shows Dodge’s commitment to performance in its new EVs.
Jeep brings two EVs to America
Jeep entered the electric vehicle market last year with the Avenger, which was only launched in Europe, and will add two new models this year. These two new models will be part of the American EV landscape as well. These impressive Stellantis EVs are the Recon and Wagoneer S.
The Recon will be an impressive small electric SUV inspired by the Wrangler. The Recon will have some of the same Wrangler features, including removable doors and windows. This little EV should have enough juice to handle some of the toughest trails, including the Rubicon Trail.
The new Wagoneer S is a smaller, two-row version of the Jeep Wagoneer. This new model has an all-electric powertrain setup and the upscale packaging you get when you choose a Wagoneer.
These models are just the beginning of the Stellantis EVs that we should see over the next few years. Expect a new Chrysler EV to be the next model released, along with an electric version of the Dodge Challenger. What else would you like Stellantis to add to its EV lineup?
