Chrysler showed off 3 new prototype electric vehicles today. A Dodge sports car, a Jeep and a Chrysler minivan.

All of the vehicles are due out in 2010, but did not say which will be first. All are expected to compete with GM’s newly released Volt. GM has said it may offer a sedan and sport car version of the Volt. Both designs have already been shown off. We have over 2 years to learn more.

The Dodge is completely electric, but the Jeep Wrangler and Chrysler minivan versions will have a recharging system, which GM has said will go on sale in November 2010. The Volt and the Dodge plug into a standard wall outlet and can go 40 miles on battery power alone, but then has a small gas to recharge it, giving it a few hundred mile range.

Below is a video from Cnet showing the new cars. Hit play, then give it a minute or two to load up before you start playing it.





I have to say I’m pretty excited. As much about the new cars and tech as I am about getting off of foreign oil. Your thoughts? Comments? Complaints.?
