Jeep Patriot

The Jeep Patriot, a concept vehicle, is one of three prototypes for electric vehicles that Chrysler is promising to deliver by the end of 2010. The electric-drive system packaged into the compact Patriot body is powered by a lithium-ion battery and an electric-drive train. The technology and engineering behind the electric Patriot is quite impressive but skeptics wonder if Chrysler can actually put it into production given its serious financial challenges.
