Jeep's ditching its entire plug-in hybrid lineup after 2025, pivoting hard toward extended-range electric vehicles instead. The 4xe and Grand Cherokee PHEV are effectively dead. It's a quiet admission that the middle ground between combustion and full EV wasn't where the market was headed.

Chrysler's abandoning plug-in hybrids entirely—the Pacifica Hybrid and Wrangler 4xe are getting the axe as the company pivots to traditional hybrids and range-extended setups instead. It's a tacit admission that PHEVs were always a compliance play, not a genuine product strategy. The bean counters finally realized nobody was buying them at the volume they needed.
