The platform will offer "standard" and "performance" battery packs. The standard pack is rated at more than 310 miles on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure, according to Stellantis.

The platform was designed for EVs, but it also can support hybrids and other multi-energy powertrains. It also will be able to support new battery chemistries such as nickel and cobalt-free energy sources and solid-state batteries.

STLA Medium uses a 400-volt electric architecture and offers front-drive and all-wheel drive propulsion. Owners will be able to take their battery from 20% to 80% charge in 27 minutes, a rate of 2.4 kilowatt hour per minute. Depending on the vehicle's use, energy consumption can be less than 14 kilowatt hours per 62 miles (100 kilometers). A second electric drive module at the rear offers battery-electric power output range from 160 to 285 kilowatts.

The automaker didn't share when a STLA Medium vehicle might hit the United States. Chrysler will launch its first EV in 2025. Jeep has said it will have an electrified offering in each of its segments globally by then.

The larger STLA Large and STLA Frame are being engineered in Auburn Hills. The STLA Frame debuted on the all-electric Ram 1500 REV pickup truck that launches in the fourth quarter of 2024. That vehicle will offer 500 miles of range, according to the company.

You can believe that if you want. Care to buy a bridge?

I heard on Monday morning that despite what the idgits are saying, going electric EV will not help much. Projected US carbon Neutral is date is 2240. In other words, not 2035, not 2100, etc. Your great grandchildren will probably not be alive 220 years from now. We are most certainly being sold a load of bull......

how much per upgrade?

This sounds completely believable........wonder if the idgits in power have figured that little nugget out? Dumbasses!!

Other OE's are already walking back on the EV stuff. They know its a death sentence seeing as they dont even sell, you'll see this gap widen and Chrysler will be no exception. VW who went all in will be in big trouble, same with GM...again.

I can believe that. I'm interpreting 14kwh per 62 miles as 14kw for one hour driving at 62 mph. 14Kw is about 20 hp so flat, level road with no wind....I can believe it.

None of their other claimed numbers pan out in the real world. Charge times, range estimates, carbon savings, etc.

For all you know they went 6.2 miles at 10mph on a dyno and extrapolated the rest.

Also note the parallel programs to: 1. convert us to using solar power. 2. darken the atmosphere to reduce solar radiation.

Think of money as a river. Then look at how it's being dammed, diverted, and don't overlook the reservoir (accumulation).
Money is why the climate is in crisis, and Co2 is being demonized.

Perhaps Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares should line out a
“Plan B” about how to react and how much additional money would need to be borrowed
if another automaker “leapfrogs” the current EV technology....

Kaita said the company had developed ways to make batteries more durable and believed it could now make a solid-state battery with a range of 1,200km (745 miles) that could charge in 10 minutes or less.

The company expects to be able to manufacture solid-state batteries for use in electric vehicles as soon as 2027, according to the Financial Times, which first reported on Toyota’s claimed breakthrough.

Just taking the statement at face value and coming up with my interpretation. You have no obligation to believe it or agree with it.
