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.

====================================================================================

Cruz should join Chrysler.  Seems both are into  disasterous strategic decisions lately.

350 to 400 miles per charge?
In winter?
In North Dakota?
Running the heater (current static air temperature is eighteen below zero)?

Sure am glad I don't have a Chrysler Dealership...their days are numbered here.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Privately owned company, so really no way to really tell how badly this is destroying the company.

Reverse diversification has never been a winning business strategy unless you are in a market crash scenario.

Chrysler should have never been bailed out in 1977.

Guess we won't be able to say, "Does it have a HEMI?" in the near future.

If you can find a better car, buy it.  Oh we will.

The death of the internal combustion engine has been highly exaggerated.

AI enabled? I can see the AI reducing speed to 25-30 to increase mileage, and do you really need that heater because it is drawing to much on the battery so off it goes, no radio or AC they are negatively impacting vehicle range. Yes you may get 350 miles on a charge but it will take twelve hours.
Does anyone really want to trust something made by Fiat?

You left out the "French" (Renault) part of "Stellantis"...so: "American-turned-German-turned-American-again-turned-Italian-turned-French/Italian".  ;-)

So an electric RAM 3500 P/U is going to tow a 20K pound 5th wheel trailer how far?  "Hot-Shots" not gonna like it!!

Nor by Obama in 2009 either, especially since it became a non-American company.

Weren't they bought out by the French?

That would go a long ways towards explaining this brain fart.

Automaker Chrysler just announced plans to go completely out of business by 2031.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Damn shame. Walter P was  a engineer supreme,and Chrysler products showed this while he was alive. His only real failing was when it came to visual designs. Walter P always put function over form.

The engineering advances continued right up until all the Walter P hires retired,and after that was when things began to get shaky.

Being bought out by the French guaranteed bankruptcy.

Still,compare the selling prices of Mopar muscle cars to those of every other manufacturer. Mopar brings the biggest bucks,and have the most rabid fans.

Gonna miss them,even though the last Mopar I bought new was a fire engine red 76 Cordoba with black leather upholstery and every option known to man.

Loved the HELL out of it,but need overpowered lust,and I sold it to buy a pu.

Damn straight.  Walter P. Chrysler is the true father of our country.

The second and last new car my dad ever bought, I pushed for the Dodge magnum but my brother prevailed with the Ricardo Mantalban choice.
