Formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the PSA Groupe, auto giant Stellantis has an aggressive plan to release electrified versions of 96% of its nameplates in the United States by 2025. We get many people will read into that what they want, however this doesn’t mean Stellantis is going to be switching to only electric vehicles by then, just to be clear up front. At the same time, it’s a pretty gutsy move that doesn’t shock us.
Meanwhile, Toyota is warning about rushing into electrification too quickly. See what the automaker has to say here.
This means by 2025 you’ll be able to at least buy a hybrid version of most Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, Fiat, Alpha Romeo, and Maserati models sold in this market. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares revealed this aim during the first general shareholder meeting on April 15.
Already, there’s been talk of hybrid and all-electric versions of the Dodge Challenger and Charger, but most people weren’t predicting those to hit the market so soon. However, Tavares reassured shareholders that despite the accelerated electrification strategy, the automaker will deliver products on time.
That doesn’t seem to just be empty words. Stellantis is looking to triple its electrified vehicle sales this year with 20 new electrified models joining the ranks, bringing the total to 39. Of course, most of those are from what was formerly PSA. Also, take into account there are currently 110 nameplates under the Stellantis umbrella at the moment, so without adding anything new the company must electrify the remaining 71.
