The Dodge EV development
Electric Vehicle is a two-passenger, rear-wheel-drive sports car
that marries high performance with zero tailpipe emissions.
“The Dodge EV sets a new standard for what can be expected in
electric-drive vehicles,” said Lou Rhodes, Vice President – Advance
Vehicle Engineering, and President – ENVI. “The electric-vehicle
technology enables a fun-to-drive performance sports car and helps
redefine the vision of an environmentally responsible vehicle for
the Dodge brand.”
The electric-drive system consists of three primary components: a
200 kW (268 horsepower) electric motor, an advanced lithium-ion
battery and an integrated power controller.
The 200 kW electric-drive motor generates 650 N•m (480 lb.-ft.) of
torque. The instant high torque of the electric-drive motor delivers
outstanding performance, accelerating the Dodge EV to 60 mph in less
than five seconds, with quarter-mile times of 13 seconds. The Dodge
EV has a top speed of more than 120 mph.
Working with the latest advanced lithium-ion battery technology, the
Dodge EV has a continuous driving range of 150 to 200 miles – more
than triple the average daily commute of most consumers. Recharging
the vehicle is a simple one-step process: plugging into a standard
110-volt household outlet for eight hours. The recharge time can be
cut in half to four hours by using a typical 220-volt household
appliance power outlet.
The Dodge EV offers driving enthusiasts a performance sports car
that can be driven to work every day – without consuming gasoline or
producing tailpipe emissions.
