The Chrysler Town & Country EV – an Eco-Friendly Minivan
Posted on: January 12th, 2009 by Melissa
Chrysler is the inventor of the minivan and soccer moms everywhere rejoiced when the first minivan hit the market 25 years ago. Now eco-conscious soccer moms across the United States have cause to rejoice again – the Chrysler Town & Country EV was revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
“The Chrysler Town & Country EV uses a 200 kW (268 horsepower) motor, producing 350 N•m (258 lb.-ft.) of torque. The Chrysler EV Range-extended Electric Vehicle can drive 40 miles on all-electric power, and boasts a range of 400 miles. This makes the Chrysler EV the perfect fuel-efficient family vehicle.†(Source: Chrysler)
Chrysler also revealed the Dodge Circuit EV Concept and the Chrysler 200C EV Concept at the NAIAS.

Is there a place to submit a name for information when the hybrid Chrysler mini van becomes available to purchase? I’ve been waiting for a good reason to upgrade my Town & Country and the EV seems like a great choice. A long list of waiting buyers like me may help to get publicity or even more investment. Heck, if I saw a list of 10,000 waiting buyers, I might even be willing to invest in Chrysler!

I am looking forward to the Chrysler minivan. We have a 08 Honda Odyssey that is on its second transmission rebuild and it only has 20k miles on it. There has to be something better than what I have now. No more Hondas
Wow Dave that is crazy! I’m sorry to hear about the troubles you are having with the Honda. Does your state have a lemon law?
