Press told the gathering that he had driven three different producible prototypes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/plug-in+hybrid\/\">plug-in hybrid<\/a> vehicles recently. The vehicles have been developed by the new <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/2007\/09\/13\/chrysler-sees-e-flex-attention-decides-to-get-envi\/\">ENVI<\/a> unit that was established in late 2007 specifically to work on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/electric\/\">electric vehicles<\/a>. According to Press, the vehicles can accelerate from 0-60 mph in four seconds and have a range of over 300 miles. Press hasn&#x27;t said when these vehicles would be built, but earlier this summer, company officials indicated a <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/2008\/07\/14\/chrysler-electric-vehicle-still-3-to-5-years-away\/\">3-5 year timeline to produce such vehicles<\/a>. If so that would put the company at least 1-2 years behind the expected launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/chevrolet\/volt\/\">Chevrolet Volt<\/a> and a potential plug-in version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/toyota\/prius\/\">Toyota Prius<\/a>. For production, it&#x27;s likely that the performance of the cars would be dialed back significantly in order to increase electric range although a higher-performance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/dodge\/\">Dodge<\/a> vehicle is not out of the question.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2008\/09\/11\/chryslers-jim-press-making-big-claims-for-upcoming-evs\/<\/p>\n<p>2008-09-11T12:37:00+00:00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chrysler&#x27;s co-president continued to talk up his employer&#x27;s plans for electrically-driven vehicles this week at a media luncheon in California.
