Dodge to retire the Challenger as parent company Stellantis eyes electric future

Dodge's go-to muscle car, the Challenger, will soon be retired as its parent company looks to offer an expanded lineup of electric vehicles.For more than a dozen years, the Challenger has been Dodge's modern-day muscle car, offering old-fashioned horsepower and retro-inspired looks.They're promising an electric muscle car to replace it as part of an overall corporate plan; joining other large car companies in that promise.

Dodge, Chrysler, Ram, Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo will begin an electric transition in the coming years."The customer is always at the heart of Stellantis and our commitment with this 30-billion-plus investment plan is to offer iconic vehicles that have the performance, capability, style, comfort and electric range that fit seamlessly into their daily lives," said CEO Carlos Tavares.

Alfa Romeo is the company's most premium car brand in North America, not counting Ferrari. This new small SUV called the Tonale will come around next year, offered as a plug-in hybrid.On the truck side, Ram has announced that there will be a pickup that runs only on electricity in two years, following its Detroit competitors Ford and GM.

I hope they have come up with new battery technology because the current technology will not work.

WHAT!!! What are douchbags that can barely afford a sport car supposed to drift and do burnouts in now!....A god damn mustang?!

Good maybe these immature drivers who own these cars will go away too

If we get rid of all ic vehicles, what will the poor catalytic converter thieves do?

just wondering about all those custom cars in LA that use gas to run and show off at night, and what owners will do when oil is outlawed in california... what is the plan...

That will only make the latest models increase in value as they already have.

great news because 100% of people who drive those cars are d-bags.

Sad

Are they replacing the Dodge Challenger with the Dodge Charger?

Good. Only a holes drive that stupid ugly car.

Libs at woke, I mean work!

Sad news for any fresh-faced recruit at Camp Pendleton.

Many aren't aware that Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep are now foreign owned. No longer any more American than a Honda made in Ohio or a Kia made in Tennessee, or any of the others.
