Chrysler 200C PHEV concept – 40-miles AER on A123Systems Li-Ion and a long way off from production...
Auburn Hills, Mi. -- Chrysler announced they have signed an agreement stating that A123Systems will supply energy storage systems for Chrysler’s first-generation ENVI Range-extended Electric Vehicles and battery only Electric Vehicles.
Individual A123Systems – Advanced Li-Ion prismatic cells are integrated with a proprietary battery management safety system to create an efficient and flexible energy storage solution. This strategy is integrated in all of Chrysler’s upcoming electric-drive vehicles, helping increase production volumes of the shared battery cell and shared battery module. Chrysler’s approach reduces development time, investment, and overall battery system cost by combining the economics of high-volume component sharing without sacrificing the battery pack flexibility needed to develop a wide range of customer-driven electric-drive vehicles.
A123Systems is currently planning a production facility in Michigan where it will manufacture Nanophosphate Lithium ion prismatic battery cells, modules and battery packs for Chrysler LLC.
“This is a great example of two American companies working together to put cutting-edge technology on the road,” said Frank Klegon, Executive Vice President – Product Development, Chrysler LLC. “The most significant challenge to electric vehicles is battery technology. The diligent selection of strategic partners like A123Systems helps Chrysler achieve its leadership in electric-drive systems and vehicles.”
The heart of ENVI’s battery system is a scalable battery module, as demonstrated in ENVI’s five electric-drive vehicles showcased at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The five vehicles included the Dodge Circuit BEV, JeepWrangler BEV, Jeep Patriot BEV, Chrysler Town & Country BEV and the Chrysler 200C BEV concept. At the reveal, Chrysler announced its intention to bring the company’s first production electric vehicle to market in 2010.
