When Every Car Brand Plans to Go Electric

The direction for major automakers is the same. But timelines and ambitions differ.

Published October 10, 2023

The car world is going electric — and quickly. Popular attitudes toward climate change are shifting, legislative combustion engine bans are looming, and EV technology and charging infrastructure are improving. We’re seeing companies promising onslaughts of new electric cars built on dedicated EV platforms, and many current iconic vehicles will go electric soon as well. Brands that have leaned all into EVs are finding they can’t build them fast enough.

Not every automaker has pledged to go 100 percent electric yet. Some have projected dates far in the nebulous future. And some — particularly more mass-market manufacturers — have yet to set a date at all.

Here is when every automotive manufacturer plans to be all-electric.

Jaguar (2025)

Jaguar has announced plans to go all-electric by 2025. The brand will ditch the entire current lineup and relaunch with three all-new EVs — an SUV, a sedan and a four-door grand tourer — based on a new long-wheelbase JEA architecture.

Alfa Romeo (2027)

Alfa Romeo has a “fully locked and funded” product plan through 2030. Every new Alfa Romeo from 2025 onward will be electric. The lineup will go 100 percent electric by 2027.

Chrysler (2028)
