Chrysler is engaged on a totally electrical model of the Chrysler Pacifica minivan, according to Green Car Reports. The EV model reportedly would “probably” come a 12 months after the corporate debuts a Pacifica design refresh that options parts of the Halcyon idea that Stellantis confirmed off earlier this 12 months.
In the intervening time, the Pacifica lineup contains a normal gas-powered minivan and a plug-in hybrid with an estimated 32-mile electric-only driving vary earlier than it switches over to fuel. Chrysler CEO Christine Feuell, who confirmed the plans to Inexperienced Automotive Stories in the course of the LA Auto Present on Thursday, wouldn’t say whether or not the corporate will preserve the plug-in hybrid alongside the all-electric mannequin.
Chrysler will reportedly have to rejigger the Pacifica’s “Stow ‘N Go” seating system, which lets homeowners fold seats right down to make a flat loading ground, to accommodate Stellantis’ BEV powertrain. Feuell informed the outlet that one resolution it’s contemplating would contain storing the second-row seats beneath the entrance seats. One other thought reportedly entails placing second-row outboard seats on rails that permit them slide sideways.
