Chrysler unveils electric car that gets 150 miles a charge
|
Chrysler LLC said Tuesday it will sell a plug-in electric car in the United States by 2010, joining the race to develop a battery-powered vehicle to boost its environmental credentials. "[We’re] looking at a full line of electric vehicles," Chrysler chief executive Bob Nardelli said on the CNBC TV network. "We’ve made huge commitments, both from a resource standpoint and from a financial standpoint." Chrysler, the third-largest automaker in the United States and number two in Canada, pledged to have at least one electric vehicle in showrooms by the end of 2010. It said some of its electric models might be tested in fleets as early as next year. |
