    How Do The Chrysler Hybrids Match The Volt's EV Range?

    When Chrysler dropped its bevy of extended-range electric vehicles in our laps today as part of the company's new ENVI program, we wondered how coincidental it was that Chrysler was claiming the same all-electric range as the much ballyhooed Chevy Volt. The Volt makes concessions to seating and obsessively maximizes aerodynamics to get its 40 mile range, but the Chrysler EV and the Jeep EV both claim 40 miles as well. No funny-shaped center consoles, no wacky aero-trickery, just batteries and electric motors. So what's the deal? Not surprisingly, it's mainly the batteries that make the difference here. More »

    Chrysler EV Range-Extended Electric Minivan Gets Real Non-CNBC Reveal

    The next-generation power train blitz from Chrysler continues following the unveil of the Dodge EV with the Chrysler EV, a Chrysler Town & Country equipped as a Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV). Following GM's lead with the Chevy Volt, the Chrysler EV promises the same 40 miles on all-electric power followed by a recharge from an on-board generator (ie: a two-cylinder gas engine). Considering the packaging advantages for batteries available with a big van, the claims seem almost easy to hit in comparison to similar claims from the Volt. Among today's unveils, the electrified minivan seems like the killer-app here, with the possibility of pollution-free kid hauling and a claimed 400 miles on eight gallons of gas (50 MPG!). Stay tuned for more as Chrysler continues to work out how to do this whole "PR thing." Update: We finally wrestled details out of Chrysler. Check below for the press release More »
