Stellantis will stop making plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models for Jeep and Chrysler starting with the 2026 model year, shifting focus to mild hybrids and range-extended hybrid vehicles.

The decision comes as PHEV sales fell, the vehicles faced recalls, and eased U.S. emissions standards reduced the need for plug-ins.

Stellantis plans to introduce mild hybrids like the refreshed Jeep Cherokee and range-extended hybrids for the Grand Wagoneer SUV and Ram 1500 pickup.

Analysts note that PHEVs are costly, confusing for consumers, and represent a small portion of overall sales, while hybrids are growing in popularity, The Detroit News has reported.

The company said its new strategy will offer a range of propulsion options, from internal combustion to hybrid, range-extended, and fully electric vehicles.
