The debut of two highly anticipated electric models—Jeep’s full‑size Grand Wagoneer and Ram’s 1500 pickup with an extended‑range battery—has been pushed back by several months, according to the latest reports from Car and Driver. Both automakers cite supply‑chain constraints and the need for additional testing to meet performance and safety standards as the primary reasons for the delay. The postponement means that customers who were counting on a 2025 launch will now have to wait until late 2025 or early 2026 to see the vehicles on dealer lots. Industry analysts warn that the setback could give rivals a brief advantage in the rapidly expanding EV market, while Jeep and Ram remain confident that the extra development time will result in a more refined, longer‑range product line‑up.
