A range extender for the Jeep Recon would be a huge plus. With all the plugin vehicles in the pipeline, Stellantis had better get their marketing operation in order. They blew it with the Hornet, but that's another thread.

Nevertheless, it wasn't any real big news. It was just a continuation of their former plans.

Although nothing new, it should put to rest (for now) the gossip that Stellantis is abandoning (selling) North America.
Have they mishandled and frankly insulted the North American market and operations ? Absolutely YES!
Are they that business ignorant to walk away from their most lucrative market and potential for growth. Absolutely NOT!
When put into perspective, this years dismal results and publicized dealer pushback should wake them up. If not, I may revise my comments.
Not the best news, but not negative.

I was expecting to see these vehicles sooner than later. But if they’re just tooling up now- who knows when we will see a Ramcharger. I paid $100 to get on the list months ago and haven’t heard a peep— until today, when this press release hit my alerts.

The 1.6 announcement is a good news for those of us advocating HEV sooner than later.

The 1.6 announcement is a good news for those of us advocating HEV sooner than later.

It's focus is with the upcoming Cherokee (KM) and hopefully the Recon (EJ).
