All Electric Chrysler by 2028

[okfine]

Another auto maker announces all their cars will be electric.
Change is good.

"Chrysler, the 96-year-old brand owned by Stellantis that is best known today for its minivans, will become an all-electric brand by 2028.
The company made the announcement as it introduced the Chrysler Airflow Concept, an all-wheel drive electric SUV concept equipped with two electric motors and a battery designed to travel 350 miles to 400 miles on a single charge."

Dumb idea.

Dumb idea.

Yes further evidence the american manufacturers are abandoning sedans

Good News! EVs, hydrogen, e-fuels, anything to get us off fossil fuels is good for country and the environment.

 

[Blackrook]

There's nothing wrong with fossil fuels.

 

[okfine]

Dumb idea.

I guess you don't agree with most of the other brands that will be producing only electric. Some have announced building only 20% of non-electric sooner than 2028.
Times are changing and they all are going the same way.

 

[JGalt]

Expected price to be $50,000 and up.

Most people will have to be poor somewhere else.

Electric is stupid and imposed by the government.

The entire world will stop driving petrol fueled vehicles in the future which is right around the corner. Don't let it get you down. Those who drive EV's now say they made a good choice. Hard to find someone who doesn't like what they bought.

In about 10 years it will only be aging baby boomers driving their old model-T like fossil fuel vehicles shaking their fists at all the young whippersnappers in their fancy new electric cars.

I have been reading on the Rivian truck. Not too shabby.

It's not that simple really.

Ev cost is very high compared to gas.

Electric still is fueld by fossil fuels and the demand for electric will only rise with more evs on the road.

My neighbor has a Tesla and spends 40 to 50 more dollars a month in electric over what he paid in gas.

Building the cars themselves cause more hazardous waste than a standard car.

More batteries being used up and disposed of will create more waste, and yes even recycling still generates waste.

EVs are more prone to require repairs.

Putting gas in a car is exponentially faster than charging a car. And gas pumps are exponentially more common than charging stations. And charging stations are exponentially more expensive than a gas pump.

In theory a EV sounds awesome, but the reality of them is not.

I have dodged them successfully up to now.

Where is all the electricity going to come from to charge all these EVs? Windmills?

And the lithium, cobalt, etc., to make the batteries? Slave labor?

I guess my bosses made a bad decision with their fleet of hybrids. They are penny pinchers. LOL.

As Chrylser sales plummet come 2028.

There is truth to what you write. But as our electric grid moves off fossil fuels and towards renewables (possibly nuclear), as battery and charging technology improves, and as we become more efficient with our recycling, many of these problems you mention will be dealt with. Fossil fuels no matter how you cut it are on the way out. That is a good thing.

I heard some news that Bill Gates (?) is going to build a nuclear generation plant in Nevada???
