ASK US ABOUT CARB REGULATIONS Pump the Brakes Times are changing, which means new standards are being set in place. This spring, Stellantis announced that they will be adjusting their vehicle rollout based on whether a state abides by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions rules. Whether you’re planning to buy a Jeep Wrangler or not, this is big news for the automotive industry. Interested to see what’s in store for Stellantis in CARB states? Stay tuned and visit Preston Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Dover to see our wide variety of inventory! Driving Forward As we mentioned before, to be a CARB state, the state adheres to the rules and regulations of the California Air Resources Board. In addition to Washington D.C., there are currently fourteen CARB states, including: Colorado Connecticut Delaware Maine Maryland Massachusetts New Jersey New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont Virginia Washington What Does This Mean? Essentially, CARB states will have an immense reduction of gas-only shipments, or in some cases, the shipments will be cut off completely. However, these CARB states will be the ones receiving Stellantis PHEV models. So what does this mean for non-CARB states? In short, states that do not identify as CARB states will be the ones receiving all of the Stellantis gas models and little to no PHEV models. For example, if someone lives in Maryland, they’ll have to cross into non-CARB territory to get a gas-only model, or they will have to order the vehicle from Stellantis to be shipped. Stay in the Loop There are big things on the horizon for the automotive industry. As your go-to CDJR dealer, we are here to help you stay up to date on the latest news regarding only-order Stellantis gas models and provide other information in accordance with CARB regulation rollouts.

ASK US ABOUT FULLY ELECTRIC JEEP SUVS An Electrifying Future Jeep is looking to lead the charge in all-electric, all-terrain dominance. We all know about the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe electric hybrid models that have made waves around the nation, but there hasn’t been an all-electric Jeep … until now! While information is very limited, Jeep revealed at the Paris Motor Show this past October that they will be introducing four fully-electric SUVs to their roster and have plans to eliminate carbon emissions from their entire lineup. With news like this, our crew at Preston Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Dover is ecstatic and can’t wait to see these new Jeeps on the lot. The Plan By 2025, Jeep plans to only release fully electric and electric-hybrid models in North America and Europe, with the hope that by 2030, all Jeeps in production will be fully electric. The goal is that by 2030, 50% of all North American Jeep sales and 100% of all European Jeep sales will be fully electric models. The news is not surprising to anyone who has kept up with Jeep and Stellantis as a whole, as models like the 4xe Jeeps, the Dodge Hornet, and future vehicles, like the fully-electric 2024 Dodge Charger, have caught the attention of drivers around the nation. If you’re wondering, “Does Jeep have a fully electric vehicle?” The answer is currently no. However, that will soon change with the release of the Jeep Recon in North America, the Jeep Avenger in Europe, and the reimagined Wagoneer S which is set for a global release. Here’s what we know about each of these new electric Jeeps: Jeep Recon This Jeep will feature trail-rated capability and similar to the Jeep Wrangler, will have all-terrain systems like Selec-Terrain traction management. The Jeep Recon will also feature removable tops, doors, and glass. Reservations for this fully electric BEV Jeep SUV will open in early 2023, while production will begin in 2024. Jeep Avenger The targeted battery range of the Jeep Avenger is approximately 400 kilometers and the off-road capability will be catered to the European market. Production is already underway and these new fully electric Jeep SUV models are expected to be released in early 2023. Wagoneer S The class and luxury we expect from Wagoneer vehicles will certainly impress, as well as the new aerodynamic design and powertrain capabilities that will be seen in the Wagoneer S. Off-road prowess and top-tier motor performance will come standard in the Wagoneer S. The SUV will have a targeted range of 400 miles, 600 horsepower, and the ability to go from 0-60 MPH in a mere 3.5 seconds. Like the Jeep Recon, reservations will open in early 2023, and production will begin in 2024.
