Chrysler Free of E.N.V.I.

Chrysler’s ENVI division was responsible for creating electric vehicles like the sporty Dodge Circuit EV we saw at the Detroit Auto Show last year, along with electric minivans and Jeeps.

But fear not, domestic electric car fans. While the ENVI program is no longer a stand-alone entity, the work its done for the past few years will not be forgotten. The program will become part of the normal vehicle development process, with just as many — if not more — people working on the projects, according to the Detroit News.

Chrysler’s new electric vehicle plan, in conjunction with its new partner Fiat,  includes:

  • 2010 Dodge Ram two-mode hybrid pickup
  • 2011 Dodge Ram plug-in and minivan hybrid – test fleet only
  • 2011 (or 2012) Fiat all-electric commercial van
