Chrysler Works on Electric Vehicles
Chrysler has a hope for brighter future with electric vehicles which it plans to start making by 2010. However, the manufacturer does not specify what model will be the company’s first battery-only EV.
There are several concepts that can qualify for this title. At the 2009 Detroit Auto Show couple months ago Chrysler presented Dodge Circuit EV, Jeep Patriot EV, Jeep Wrangler EV, Chrysler Town & Country EV, and Chrysler 200C EV concept. Each of them has equal chances to become a starting point for the company.
On Monday, April 6, automaker has signed a contract with A123Systems, U.S.-based battery supplier which plans to build a Michigan facility in order to produce batteries for Chrysler. The two companies are planning to work together on the development of lithium-ion battery cells, battery packs and battery modules which could power range-extended electric vehicles.
Chrysler believes that future belongs to all-electric autos and intends to offer electric powered vehicles across its entire line of production.
