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?

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.
