Of the three electric-powered prototypes unveiled by Chrysler earlier this year, pundits buzzed the most about the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country EV. We understand their logic - though nowhere as sexy as the Lotus-based Dodge coupe (which was revamped for the 2009 Detroit auto show), it's the most practical application of Chrysler's hybrid technology we've seen to date.
Granted, it eschews the flexibility of the vaulted Stow 'n Go seating in favor of battery storage, but in essence, the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country EV is a seven-passenger vehicle designed to operate much like the 2011 Chevrolet Volt: when fully-charged, the first forty miles are driven in EV mode, with a 200 kW (268 hp) electric motor powering the front wheels.
