Did Chrysler do something right?  Apparently so.  Chrysler has just unveiled four new electric cars that are expected to be for sale between 2009 and 2011.  According to US News:

The vehicles included a pair of extended-range electric vehicles that Chrysler executives claimed could travel 40 miles under electric power alone before a 1-liter gasoline engine kicks in, much like Chevy’s heavily-hyped 2010 Volt.  One was an unnamed Chrysler minivan, the other a four-door Jeep Wrangler.  While Chevy has not allowed the press to drive the Volt and says the powertrain isn’t ready, CNBC’s LeBeau was allowed to drive the Wrangler EV on a Chrysler test track.

Also mentioned was a sports car called the Dodge EV which apparently performs similarly to the Tesla roadster.  The EV is also a very attractive vehicle that resembles something like a Dodge Viper mixed with a Lotus.  Chrysler also rolled out a vehicle called the “peapod” which is similar to the Chrysler GEM.  Apparently Chrysler has been working on these http://www.trianglerentacar.com/Car-Rental-Glossary.php in relative secrecy.

It’s nice to see an American car company make some good moves.  Who knows how long these projects have been in the works, but finally it seems like Chrysler has hit the mark.
