Jeep Avenger usable battery: 50.8kWh. WLTP range: 400km I get the "magical" 12.5kWh/100km with something called "basic math". 50.8/400*100=12.7kWh/100km - I am sorry for the egregious 0.2kWh/100km mistake but I was estimating a 50kWh usable battery size and not 50.8kWh. They announced a 400km...

The engine will never be efficient enough to reach a magical 12.5kWh/100km of efficiency. The WLTP range is not 2/3 range in real world for models of all brands. You have brands where the discrepancy is around 10% and the most abusive ones are around 30 yes. I can assure you the Jeep Avenger now...

Compare the price of the Avenger with the Tesla Model 3, which is a midsize model not a sub-compact model. Also the 400km update? You mean the 3kWh increase in battery capacity and some fudging of WLTP range numbers? If Stellantis actually makes an EV with a 12.5kWh/100km energy consumption then...

Supposedly the new Peugeot 3008 and the new Opel Grandland (both C-SUVs) will arrive by the end of 2025. They will be STLA Medium based. Before that, they're just using the CMP and EMP PSA platforms which are compromised and can't take batteries much bigger than the 54kWh capacity they have now...

They won't. The small EVs based on the CMP platform are ridiculously overpriced and Tavares is crying because MG, Dacia and BYD have made that starkly clear. Especially with the MG 4 already climbing in sales in France. They're stuck between dropping the price to unprofitable levels and eat a...

Considering that Tesla has insane profit margins and their models are price competitive within the respective segment with ICE vehicles they have shown that it's possible to make EVs profitably and competitively with ICEs. Tavares is just crying and moaning because Stellantis (mainly the euro...

IMO, they could make a new Durango based on this. I wish they would.

This looks really good. And if what they're suggesting in terms of specs is true it will be much better than the F150 Lightning. IMO, they should consider offering a series hybrid powered by the EV engine, but with an ICE engine as a generator continuously working at its optimal rpm to charge a...

Sucks for the Airflow. Such a beautiful vehicle. :(

I think that the time of cheap decontented cars from Chrysler/Dodge won't ever return.

It is more than obvious that the primary focus of Alfa is on Europe models. Otherwise, the Tonale wouldn't have been launched before an E-SUV. Isn't the Airflow supposed to be a STLA Large vehicle? It looked really cool.

Or they're doing this with a primary focus on the european market and you'll get your Chrysler anyway in the US.

I think that's way more promising than air travel as well.

Yes high-speed train is obviously an 18th century mode of transportation. Lets just ignore that the first steam locomotive was made in the XIXth century. And that high-speed rail competes with airplane travel in distances up to 900-1000km due to having speeds above 300km/h. The engineering...

Nice efficiency improvement!

In Europe, Stellantis is dominating the segments with highest sales volume. They dominate the city and subcompact segment, subcompact SUV segment, are the second biggest on the compact segment, and also have great sales on the compact SUV segment. They have the 3rd biggest sales volume of EVs...

A patent can only be attributed to something that is novel. If you describe it previously in detail in a scientific journal you can't patent it. You can publish scientific papers with something that you wish to patent, but you can't disclose on the paper the process you are patenting. That...

We are talking about different things. When I talk about public transportation it's about systems in metropolitan areas. Some cities in the US do have very good public transportation systems as the metro/subway systems of Boston, New York, the Muni system in San Francisco, etc. Systems that...
