Today Chrysler announced in a press release the introduction of its new ENVI team, which is a cross-functional team within Chrysler, strategically intended to develop electric-drive production vehicles and related advanced-propulsion technologies.  

The intent behind creating the ENVI team is to establish a small, nimble team that will be able to move quickly and have access to the vast resources within Chrysler to allow rapid proliferation of electric-drive vehicles and to permit Chrysler LLC to develop a new generation of environmentally responsible Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles.

To read more and see video of the unveiling on CNBC, check out the ChryslerGoesElectric site.

Also if you would like to see specifics on EV for Jeep and each of the other brands visit ChryslerLLC blog home page.

Some key points tied with the introduction of ENVI, Chrysler LLC plans to have:

-  At least one model to be produced in 2010 for consumers in North American markets, and European markets after 2010
-  More than one hundred electric vehicles on the road in government, business, and development fleets in 2009
-  Electric-drive technology applied to front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, and body-on-frame four-wheel-drive platforms

Cheers,

Will

Certainly, It is good news. But, headline like "Ripple effect seen if GM, Chrysler or Ford goes bankrupt" disappoints as well. it creates a chaotic situation whether we should abide with Chrysler, GM or Ford.
i asked this question with autotropolish experts and they spontaneously stated if you have faith upon goodwill, you should not mind these news.
