Chrysler’s Electric Future: Your Smart, Exciting Choice

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram currently sell three all-electric vehicles: the Dodge Charger Daytona, the Jeep Recon, and the Ram ProMaster EV. Shoppers researching Chrysler electric cars will find the brand has none on sale today, though three new crossovers are confirmed. The plug-in hybrid era has ended across these four brands, replaced by range-extended electric models arriving from Jeep and Ram.

Electric Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Vehicles at a Glance

Each of the four brands sits at a different point in its electric rollout. Two of them have vehicles you can drive home this week, and two don’t. Here’s where the lineups stand today, before we look at what each brand has confirmed for the years ahead.

• Chrysler → No electrified model in production, with three new crossovers confirmed to join the Pacifica by the end of the decade.
• Dodge → One all-electric muscle car on sale, offered in both two-door and four-door body styles.
• Jeep → The broadest electrified lineup of the four, spanning a Trail Rated electric SUV and a range-extended full-size flagship.
• Ram → An all-electric commercial van available now, with a range-extended half-ton truck arriving.

Current Electrified CDJR Models

Three all-electric vehicles are available across the four brands right now. Each targets a different buyer: one for the trail, one for the drag strip, and one for work. None of them asks you to compromise on what its badge is known for, as all three run on battery power alone, with no gas engine on board.

• Jeep Recon: A dual-motor electric SUV producing 650 horsepower and 620 pound-feet of torque, reaching 60 miles per hour (MPH) in 3.6 seconds, with removable doors and Trail Rated capability.
• Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack: An all-electric muscle car making 670 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, covering the quarter mile in 11.5 seconds.
• Ram ProMaster EV: A fully electric cargo and delivery van built on a 110-kilowatt-hour battery pack for fleet and small-business use.

Future Chrysler Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Chrysler has the emptiest electrified lineup today and the most ambitious plan for changing that. Stellantis confirmed at its investor day that three crossovers will join the Pacifica by the end of the decade, all positioned beneath the minivan. 

Anyone tracking Chrysler electric cars should read the wording closely: These models are described as multi-energy, meaning each nameplate is expected to offer a choice of powertrains rather than launching as battery-electric only.

• Chrysler Airflow: A midsize crossover and the first of the three to arrive, riding on the new STLA One architecture engineered to accommodate multiple powertrain types.
• Chrysler Arrow: A compact crossover derived from proven European architecture, which Stellantis has targeted to start under $30,000 MSRP (plus destination fee).
• Chrysler Arrow Cross: A companion model sharing the Arrow’s underpinnings and the same sub-$30,000 MSRP (plus destination fee) target, aimed at a segment no American brand currently serves.

Future Dodge Electric Vehicles

Dodge has narrowed its electric strategy rather than widened it. The Charger Daytona continues as the brand’s only battery-electric offering, and the lineup now leans on the high-output Scat Pack after the entry-level electric trim was dropped. What Dodge added instead was body-style choice, so buyers now pick a shape rather than a power level.

• Four-door Charger Daytona: A sedan configuration joining the original coupe, broadening the electric muscle car’s appeal without changing its powertrain.
• PowerShot overtake boost: A steering-wheel-mounted function delivering an additional 40 horsepower for 10 seconds, usable repeatedly.

Future Jeep Electric Vehicles

Jeep is putting more electrified metal on the ground than any of its sibling brands. The strategy runs on two tracks: pure battery-electric SUVs for buyers ready to plug in exclusively, and range-extended models for those who want electric driving without planning routes around chargers.

• Jeep Wagoneer S: A premium all-electric SUV rated at 294 miles of driving range, returning after a model-year pause with full NACS fast-charging compatibility.
• Jeep Grand Wagoneer REV: A range-extended full-size SUV producing 647 horsepower, pairing a 92-kilowatt-hour battery with an onboard generator for roughly 500 miles of total range.
• Additional Recon trims: Versions beyond the launch Moab model, rated by Jeep at up to 250 miles of range depending on configuration.

Future Ram Electric Vehicles

Ram approached electrification from the direction its customers actually care about: range and load capability. Rather than launching a pure battery-electric half-ton, the brand built its headline truck around an onboard generator, so towing and payload figures hold up on long hauls.

• Ram 1500 REV: A range-extended electric pickup truck pairing a 92-kilowatt-hour battery with a 130-kilowatt generator for a manufacturer-estimated total range of up to 690 miles.
• Ram 1500 REV capability: Towing of up to 14,000 pounds and payload of up to 2,625 pounds when properly equipped, built on the STLA Frame architecture.

EV vs. Range-Extended Electric: What’s the Difference?

This is the real decision facing shoppers at these four brands, and it’s widely misunderstood. A range-extended electric vehicle isn’t a plug-in hybrid. 

In a plug-in hybrid, the gas engine can drive the wheels directly. In a range-extended electric, it never does. That distinction matters more than any single range figure.

• Battery-electric vehicle: Drives entirely on stored battery energy and must be recharged, with no engine and no fuel tank on board.
• Range-extended electric vehicle: Drives on electric motors at all times while an onboard engine acts purely as a generator, replenishing the battery instead of turning the wheels.

Expected Range, Charging, and Performance Features

Charging speed depends far more on the equipment you plug into than on the vehicle itself. The same SUV can take days on a household outlet or under an hour on a commercial fast charger. Using the Wagoneer S as a reference point, here’s what each charging level delivers.

• Level 1 charging: A standard household outlet that can take up to 3 days to fully charge the battery.
• Level 2 charging: A 240-volt home or workplace unit, completing a full charge in roughly eight to 10 hours.
• Level 3 DC fast charging: A commercial high-output station, delivering a full charge in approximately 15 to 60 minutes.

Which Electric CDJR Vehicle Is Right for You?

Start with how you actually drive, rather than with the largest range on the page. A truck owner who tows every weekend and a commuter who charges overnight are shopping for different machines. Customers waiting specifically for Chrysler electric cars will need patience, since the brand’s new crossovers are still ahead of it.

• For trail capability: The Jeep Recon, the only fully electric Trail Rated SUV, with removable doors and up to 3,300 pounds of towing when properly equipped.
• For straight-line performance: The Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, which generates muscle-car acceleration alongside an all-electric range of over 270 miles.
• For towing and long hauls: The Ram 1500 REV, whose onboard generator removes the range anxiety that has kept many truck owners away from electric pickups.

The Future of Electric Vehicles at Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram

The direction across all four manufacturers is clear. Plug-in hybrids are gone, battery-electric models continue where they fit, and range-extended vehicles are taking over the heavy end of the lineup. For Chrysler electric cars, the wait continues.
