Electric vehicles are no longer a thing of futuristic sci-fi movies. The new Chrysler ENVI combines sleek design with electric performance that offers clean, economical solutions to transportation. The ENVI vehicles are slated to hit the market in 2010, just before they head over to Europe.
ENVI has a number of vehicles in its lineup - including fuel-less electric vehicles and fuel efficient range-extended electric vehicles. These vehicles are not only going to be Chrysler models, but also Dodge and Jeep models as well, ensuring that no matter what kind of car you're looking for, you'll find it in a fuel-efficient version as well.
The biggest change for Chrysler is that the automaker has very few new models on tap and if it wasn't for its budding relationship with Fiat, the company would have nothing new available after 2012. But, thanks to its connection with Fiat, a number of future Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep models will share platforms, components and other parts with Fiat Group cars, giving these three brands a new lease on life.
Just don't look for an electric vehicle in the mix because now that the ENVI show has ended, Chrysler and Fiat will be hard pressed to develop a few hybrids let alone full electric models.
