Chrysler's Future Banks On Electric Success By now we've certainly seen photos of the upcoming Ram 1500 REV. But what about Stellantis' other brands, including Chrysler?
So far, the major preview from Chrysler has been the debut of the Airflow concept. But it hasn't yet translated to EVs that buyers can try out today at Chrysler dealers—they'll have to wait a little longer for that. Indeed, so much time has passed since Chrysler revealed an all-new model that buyers might not even recognize the brand's first electric offering without seeing the badge first.
But beyond the Airflow, what will buyers want to see from a brand that has been overshadowed by its corporate siblings including Ram and Jeep for most of the past decade?
We talked to Chrysler Brand CEO Christine Feuell and industry analyst Karl Brauer about the brand's electric future. |

2024 Audi Q8 e-Tron Takes Flagship Mantle In Ingolstadt's EV Lineup The Audi e-tron has been on sale for a while now, having debuted as Audi's first modern EV model. It's safe to say that the e-tron debuted in what was a different time in the EV world, when there weren't multiple German electric SUVs on sale.
And now it's already time for a redesign and a new name.
Now known as the Q8 e-tron, Ingolstadt's electric flagship and its Sportback twin have been restyled inside and out while also gaining a much larger battery—23% larger, to be exact.
But when it comes to exterior and interior dimensions, the model hasn't changed as much, indicating that Audi thinks it got everything just about right in terms of size the first time.
What does the new Q8 e-tron offer?
We took one for a drive in Northern California to experience all the changes firsthand, now that Audi's EV flagship will have plenty of competition from other members of Team Germany. But will its range, new features, and price still make sense in 2023?
Read on to find out what's new in the 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron. |

The 10 Coolest Things We Saw At Electrify Expo As traditional auto shows continue to evolve, and as automakers look elsewhere to spend their money, seeing new electric vehicles firsthand hasn't necessarily become easier, especially given how few of them might actually be on hand at dealerships for shoppers to try.
Changing this status quo is one of the goals of the Electrify Expo—a series of electric vehicle events around the country. And it's not just about cars.
"There's peak interest right now in electric vehicles and people wanting to understand: How far do these cars drive? How fast can they charge? Where can I charge? This is the best place to get those questions answered," said Electrify Expo founder BJ Birtwell.
Here's what the latest Expo offered visitors in Long Beach, California. |
