Stellantis is pulling the plug on its plug-in hybrid automobiles in North America, The Drive reported on Thursday.
Which means the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe and Chrysler Pacifica PHEV are all discontinued beginning with the 2026 mannequin yr.
“With buyer demand shifting, Stellantis will part out plug?in hybrid (PHEV) applications in North America starting with the 2026 mannequin yr, and give attention to extra aggressive electrified options, together with hybrid and vary?prolonged automobiles the place they greatest meet buyer wants,” a Stellantis spokesperson informed The Drive.
2024 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
They had been a few of the best-selling PHEVs within the U.S., however the Jeeps particularly had high quality points and confronted quite a few recollects. In November, Jeep recalled its PHEVs over a battery problem and warned house owners to not park inside or cost their automobiles till a repair turned out there.
“Buyer demand” might certainly be a part of the choice. In spite of everything, consumers of those PHEVs can now not benefit from the $7,500 EV tax credit score. Earlier than, Chrysler consumers might get that federally funded low cost on purchases or leases. Most lately, plug-in Jeeps certified solely when leased. However underneath earlier tax-credit guidelines, in addition they benefited when bought outright. Now, a giant driver of demand is gone.
However laxer laws are probably an even bigger a part of the equation—not simply because it associated to in the present day’s information, however within the many EV cancellations we have seen currently. Between the neutering of Company Common Gas Financial system guidelines and the suspension of California’s EV gross sales necessities, firms do not actually want to prioritize electrical automobiles and different fuel-efficient choices anymore.
So we add the Jeeps and Chrysler to the rising listing of plug-in automobiles which were claimed by the good EV pullback. Others embody the Ford F-150 Lightning, Acura ZDX and Nissan Ariya.
There’s excellent news, regardless of the cancellations. Tons of fascinating new electrical and electrified automobiles are popping out this yr. And that features fashions from Stellantis with severe potential: The Ram 1500 REV truck and the Jeep Grand Wagoneer SUV, two plug-ins with gasoline vary extenders, are launching this yr.
