Chrysler Town & Country EV concept

Overview: More than a concept, but not quite a production vehicle, the Town & Country range-extended electric vehicle features a lithium-ion battery pack. Chrysler claims a range of 150 to 200 miles. If it could do 200, that would be impressive. All the company needs to do is to get some money from somewhere.

Our take: A minivan for the eco-conscious soccer mom. Of the three EV ideas being touted by Chrysler at the moment (there’s also a Jeep Wrangler and a Dodge sports car), this stands the best chance of becoming reality.
