No matter what you’ve heard, EVs are less likely to catch fire than gas vehicles. That said, two of Detroit’s Big Three automakers have had EV-related factory fires in recent months, and the third had to pause production of a popular model to figure out a battery fire issue.
We've slowly been saying goodbye to the Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300, and Dodge Challenger — now we can officially wave goodbye to the platform, including the Hemi.
The Chrysler 300 is joining its corporate siblings in being discontinued after the 2023 model year, and the automaker recently announced that the last car has left the production line. Workers at the Brampton Ontario Assembly Plant recently gathered to commemorate the end of the line for the car, giving it a sendoff before the automaker moves further toward electrification.
Stellantis will launch a network of battery swap stations that can fit a fully charged battery to an EV «in less than five minutes».
Stellantis has formally lodged a petition against the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for subjecting it to stringent emissions requirements that not all automakers are required to meet. It's the latest chapter in a saga that has impacted the Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, and Dodge vehicles available for sale across the country, that Stellantis said in a statement «destabilizes our production schedules, the livelihoods of our 56,000 U.S. employees, and the thousands of spinoff jobs generated by our operations.»
The Ford F-150 Lightning could cut your utility bills. Stellantis is pushing back versus California about deals with other automakers. And is there a “missing mass market” for EVs? This and more, here at Green Car Reports.
Stellantis says layoffs are coming to two of its U.S. Jeep assembly plants, with potentially thousands of workers losing their jobs early next year, and blamed the move in part on California's emissions rules.
When all else fails, blame the government. Stellantis, whose brands include Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Fiat, recently announced layoffs that it blamed on the selective application of California Air Resource Board (CARB) rules. The move could impact thousands of jobs at the company’s Jeep factories in Detroit and Ohio, where it builds the Grand Cherokee, Wrangler, and Gladiator.
