Stellantis Axes Jeep 4xe and Pacifica Hybrid—PHEV Bet Officially Dead
Stellantis is pulling the plug on plug-in hybrid variants across Jeep and Chrysler's North American lineup, effectively surrendering the PHEV segment it helped pioneer.

Stellantis spent years convincing us PHEVs were the bridge fuel. Turns out they were just the bridge to admitting they don't know what they're doing.
