Electric Car of the Future

The Electric Car of the Future

Electric Car

Electric vehicles are no longer a thing of futuristic sci-fi movies. The new Chrysler ENVI combines sleek design with electric performance that offers clean, economical solutions to transportation. The ENVI vehicles are slated to hit the market in 2010, just before they head over to Europe.

Electric Car

ENVI has a number of vehicles in its lineup - including fuel-less electric vehicles and fuel efficient range-extended electric vehicles. These vehicles are not only going to be Chrysler models, but also Dodge and Jeep models as well, ensuring that no matter what kind of car you're looking for, you'll find it in a fuel-efficient version as well.

Electric Car

What's the difference between fuel-less and range extended? A fuel-less car runs on a battery. Simply charge it into a 110-volt outlet for about eight hours to recharge the car for a range of 150-200 miles. The range-extended car can also be charged on a standard household outlet. However, the range-extended car drives for about 40 miles on that battery power, then can go another 400 miles or so based on the battery power charge that the car gets as it runs.
The ENVI vehicles will operate in the same way that their equivalents operate today so that as a driver, you won't notice a difference in handling or operations. You will, however, notice a difference when it comes time to refuel - or recharge!

Electric Car

ENVI cars come with front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, four wheel drive so that you have all of the maneuverability options you need as well.

In addition to helping you save money on fuel, the ENVI lineup will help to save the environment as well because the car does not have tailpipe emissions. These cars can also go just about as fast as a normal car; the Jeep EV will go up to 90 MPH, the Chrysler will go to about 100 MPH and the Dodge will go up to 120 MPH. So keep your eyes open for the newest in fuel-efficient automobiles that will save you money and decrease your green footprint!

2010 Chevrolet Equinox

2010 Chevrolet Equinox Road Test

If you don't believe in second chances, take a look at the new Chevrolet Equinox. While the first one was fine, this latest version is much more so. It's also much more challenging to the rest of the very competitive compact crossover class, including Toyota's RAV4 and Honda's CR-V.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox

To begin with, it offers a choice of two new direct-injected, variable-valve-timing engines, a standard 2.4-liter four and an optional 3.0-liter V-6, both happily married to six-speed automatic transmissions. The latter offers 264 horses and 18 mpg city and 25 highway EPA economy. The former pumps out 182 ponies and trumps the class at 22 mpg city, 32 highway. According to Chevy, that translates to a potential highway driving range of as much as 600 miles with the four and more than 500 with the six. Four-cylinder models with available all-wheel drive are rated somewhat lower at 20 mpg city, 29 highway, but there's a selectable "Eco" mode that adjusts the transmission's shift points to optimize economy.

The new Equinox heads the way with Chevy's signature global face: a two-tier grille with a visible gold bowtie badge. Muscular fender shapes, wraparound headlamps and dual round tail lamps are additional design-defining elements. Wraparound rear glass and an aggressive wheels-at-the-corners stance complete the look, while efficiency enhancing aerodynamics are achieved through wind-tunnel-tested measures that include moving the base of the windshield forward approximately three inches (vs. the 2009) for a sleeker profile.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox

It rides on the same 112.5-inch wheelbase as its predecessor but sits about an inch shorter and an inch wider with a wider front track to improve stability and handling. The rocker panels are integrated into the doors to narrow the step-over area, reducing the chances of brushing pant legs against dirty rockers getting in and out, and the flush-fitting exposed-edge windshield and rear glass reduce wind noise and compliment the tight-fitting quality look.

Inside, the Equinox offers more than ample storage, including an over sized glove box, a closed bin above the center stack and closed storage under the center armrest roomy enough for a laptop computer. We found both front and rear seats—offered in standard cloth or premium perforated leather—as good as any in the class. One especially nice contemporary touch is ice-blue ambient lighting inside and around the "floating" center stack and around the console cup holders.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Another is the 60/40-split-back "MultiFlex" rear seat, which adjusts fore and aft nearly eight inches. Full forward, it opens a spacious 31.4 cu. ft. of storage behind it; full rearward, it provides best-in-class rear legroom. Somewhere in between lies the best balance of both for a given trip. Up front, the driver is well accommodated thanks to 10 inches of fore-aft seat travel, standard power-adjustable seat height and a standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel.

Still another great feature is the cabin quietness. It's exceptional for any utility vehicle, let alone a popular-priced compact CUV. Noise-blocking and -absorbing elements are built into the chassis, engine compartment and interior, and four-cylinder models feature GM's first production use of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology. ANC uses microphones to detect booming sounds inside the vehicle and sends counteracting sound waves through the audio speakers.

One other area where this new Equinox trumps the old one, and most volume-priced competitors, is its impressive array of standard and available technologies. Among them are USB audio connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, a range of premium audio systems (most with internal memory/hard drive for music storage), available seven-inch touch-screen navigation, a rear camera system that displays in the rearview mirror if the car doesn't have navigation, a rear-seat entertainment system with two independent screens (kids can watch a DVD on one and play games on the other) and a programmable power lift gate.

But the proof, as always, is in the driving. We've driven them all in this segment, and most these days are pretty good. But this one at this time may well be the best. The fuel-thrifty four is peppy enough for all but heavy loads, and the V-6 is downright powerful with reasonable economy. The cabin is relaxed, commodious and quietest in class. The steering is better than typical electric-boosted systems, the brakes are sure, strong and fade free, and the handling is surprisingly agile—more tall sedan than cargo-capable utility.
