Fiat pulls the plug on Chrysler hybrid and electric car plans

The decision by Fiat SEO Sergio Marchionne is a major voltage reduction for Chrysler. It is also a direct slap in the face of US taxpayers, who gave Chrysler a $12.5 Billion bail-out package, in part to help float Chrysler's plans for its ENVI program to develop and market fuel efficient electric cars. In addition, the Department of Energy gave Chrysler another $70 million in grants in August for this program.

Fiat's decision kills the Dodge Circuit, a two-seater all electric sports car that Chrysler introduced to great fanfare at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year. Chrysler announced in September 2008 that it was developing three EV models, and hoped to get them into production by 2010. That's not happening now.

We thought Lockheed Martin would have it for Defense purposes, Zenn for the transportation industry, but now it appears that NASA has the inside track.

we always knew there were other secret entities. are we to assume that a reveal is near? ]]> EV (Electric Vehicle) Discussion DaveinOlyWA http://priuschat.com/forums/ev-electric-vehicle-discussion/71716-first-zenn-then-lockheed-martin-we-thought.html http://priuschat.com/forums/ev-electric-vehicle-discussion/71583-maybe-we-dont-need-eestor.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:47:44 GMT new battery tech being developed. instead of something new, lets take what we have and mix it and see what happens... the numbers for the Tesla is... new battery tech being developed. instead of something new, lets take what we have and mix it and see what happens...

the numbers for the Tesla is "interesting" to say the least. bring the cost down and we might have a viable option

I've become very interested in NEVs lately because I live in an area with lots of 35 mph roads, etc, that would make a vehicle with a limited speed and range useful.

My question is do any of the NEV/EVs out there utilize regen like our Prius does? It sure seems if they had regen on decel and braking, and the solar panels on the roof, that it would greatly extend the range or time between charging. I know the current NEVs with solar roofs only get about 12% (or whatever) of their battery per day, but it's still something.

Any ideas? Thank you kindly. ]]> EV (Electric Vehicle) Discussion radioprius1 http://priuschat.com/forums/ev-electric-vehicle-discussion/71328-electric-vehicle-nev-w-solar-regen.html
