Chrysler Fiat 500EV – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWe knew Chrysler<\/a> was up to something when it showed off an all-electric Fiat 500<\/a> at this year’s Detroit Auto Show<\/a>. Today, the automaker has officially announced that it will engineer and produce the Fiat 500EV for the United States, starting in 2012.<\/p>\n

As of this writing, details about the 500EV are slim. We do know that the powerplant will be comprised of three main systems – an advanced lithium-ion battery, high-power electric powertrain module and an EV control unit to manage overall power flow. The 500EV will be developed and engineered at Chrysler’s headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan.<\/p>\n

In more Chrysler EV news, the automaker will be receiving up to $48 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to build a total of 140 Ram plug-in hybrids. Originally, the automaker had plans to bring a Ram hybrid to market<\/a>, but due to the slow-selling nature of other gasoline-electric pickups, Chrysler’s plans were canned. This new round of electrified trucks will be used in a three-year demonstration project that will aid in expediting the development of vehicle electrification technology. No word on if we’ll see a production version of the Ram PHEV anytime soon, however. In the meantime, buyers hoping for a high-mpg Ram can look forward to a light-duty diesel option<\/a> currently being considered. Hit the jump to read the full details in Chrysler’s press release.<\/p>\n
