New trio charges up

New trio charges up


EVEN if electric cars do emit more CO2 than their petrol equivalents, manufacturers aren’t being deterred from pushing the technology further!

Chrysler has revealed a trio of battery-powered models – but only one of the Chrysler EV, Jeep EV and Dodge EV will go into production, from 2010. And bosses won’t say which.

The Dodge is a rear-wheel-drive sports car based on the Lotus Europa. It features a 268bhp electric motor mated to a lithium-ion battery pack, covers 0-60mph in less than five seconds and has a 120mph
top speed. The Jeep and Chrysler EVs are based on the Wrangler and Grand Voyager respectively, and mate an electric motor to a small petrol engine.
