With practically every auto manufacturer jumping into the electric vehicle game, many shoppers are wondering when they\u2019ll see electric options at their local Chrysler dealership locations. Luckily, Chrysler\u2019s parent company Stellantis recently made some announcements that are sure to get Chrysler fans sitting on the edge of their seats in anticipation.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stallantis announced that Chrysler will launch its very first electric vehicle by 2025. Your local Chrysler dealership will have a full portfolio of battery-powered options by 2028.<\/p>\n

Why Electric Cars?<\/h3>\n

With gas-powered vehicles having such a rich history, it\u2019s easy to wonder why electric vehicles are getting so much press. There are plenty of benefits to going with an eco-friendly electric ride:<\/p>\n

Energy Efficient<\/h4>\n

Electric cars are much better at converting electric power<\/a><\/strong> into horsepower than gasoline engines. An electric motor typically converts up to 62% of energy into power, while gas options only covert up to 21%.<\/p>\n

Less Maintenance<\/h4>\n

Since electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than conventional automobiles, they don\u2019t require as much maintenance. You don\u2019t require oil changes, fuel filters, timing belts, or mufflers. Avoiding these kinds of routine repairs will save drivers tons of money over the life of their cars.<\/p>\n

Greater Convenience<\/h4>\n

While all cars need time to refuel, it\u2019s much more convenient to simply plug in your car while you\u2019re at home than it is to stop by a gas station while you\u2019re en route. You can also charge your car while at work, at the store, or at an increasing number of charging stations.<\/p>\n

Reduced Environmental Impact<\/h4>\n

Since electric vehicles<\/a><\/strong> do not produce exhaust and don\u2019t depend on fossil fuels, their impact on the environment is greatly reduced.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s The Way The Market Is Going<\/h4>\n

Even if a company didn\u2019t see the value in developing new electric technologies, the wave of manufacturers going in this direction makes it tough to stay out of the game. Many countries are putting laws and policies in place that encourage electric car development. Avoiding this segment of the market means losing serious opportunities for growth.<\/p>\n

Chrysler\u2019s Plan To Catch Up<\/h3>\n

It may seem like Chrysler has a lot of ground to make up in the electric game. Right now, the only electric vehicle available at your local Chrysler dealership<\/a><\/strong> is the plug-in hybrid Pacifica hybrid.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear which Chrysler model will be the first to get an electric variant or if Chrysler will launch a brand-new car for the occasion. Luckily, Chrysler isn\u2019t starting from scratch. Stellaris is already producing an electric Jeep Wrangler (4xe) and a plug-in hybrid Jeep Grand Cherokee for 2022.<\/p>\n

The new Airflow Concept<\/h3>\n

At the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Chrysler debuted its innovative electric Airflow Concept, which is most likely a hint at what\u2019s to come. This concept vehicle is a four-door car loaded with some serious autonomous driving capabilities. Rumors are that this concept could deliver between 350-400 miles of driving range.<\/p>\n

Until more details get released, we\u2019re all just left dreaming of the future. It will be here and at your local Chrysler dealership sooner than we think.<\/p>\n
