The Americans looking for a battery electric city car have styling tastes preferring that Fiat heritage style. The last thing the Chrysler brand needs is a B-segment city car with a battery electric powertrain. What is the Chrysler brand's styling these days? Does anybody know? From the concepts I've seen touring this years auto-show circuit, the people in Auburn Hills don't know either.
If the Chrysler brand wants to survive it needs something waiting in the wings like the Mazda CX-90, or the Lexus TX 3-rows. I don't see anything. Both of the models I mentioned have a six cylinder plugin hybrid option, while the Stellantis bosses have decried the Chrysler brand is all in on battery electric. From the FCA side in the Stellantis universe only Fiat can get away with going all in with BEV.
I'm not saying the legacy FCA brands shouldn't offer battery electric vehicles. After all there are states which have adopted the California rules. There are more states which didn't and they are the ones which aren't imploding.
