Chrysler has revealed the GEM Peapod Neighborhood Electric Vehicle. The GEM Peapod comes with its bold styling the GreenEcoMobility, and aims to set a new standard for environmentally responsible vehicles.
GEM Peapod is powered by an electric motor that uses the energy stored in six 12-Volt flooded electrolyte batteries and a 72-Volt battery system that has an on-boar charger. With these specifications, the GEM Peapod may outputs 12 hp and uses regenerative braking to recover energy.
The GEM Peapod works in two modes: Low with a top speed at 15 mph, and High with a top speed at 25 mph. The GEM Peapod has a range of around 30 miles and requires 6 to 8 hours of charging. The production of GEM Peapod is scheduled in 2009.
