Chrysler Pacifica PHEV produced in 100k copies

In 2016, Chrysler introduced a plug-in hybrid version of its higher-end minivan, the Chrysler Pacifica. It took just seven years for the company to produce 100k copies of the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV.

Once very popular in Europe, minivans are a rarity today, but in the US they are still very common on the road. The Chrysler Pacifica PHEV is the only plug-in hybrid minivan that qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit, and when you add in other tax credits, it’s easy to see why demand for this car continues.

Early last year, the company announced that it would go all-electric by 2028, with a long-term goal of producing more than 25 electric vehicles in the United States by 2030. Chrysler’s upcoming crossover is one of those 25, and it’s an SUV based on the STLA Large platform. Chrysler’s first electric vehicle was supposed to be based on the Airflow concept, but the concept was stopped due to design.

Another car manufacturer from the Stellantis Group, Jeep, has so far presented two electric vehicles intended for the American market. The Recon, which will go into production next year as a 2025 model, and the Wagoneer S, with a range of 400 miles. Both models will be produced at the Windsor plant.

Six cars gone in 45 seconds

After four Hellcats were stolen last September, the Don Franklin Somerset Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership was robbed again. Last week, from the same salon located in Somerset, Kentucky, robbers stole six cars worth $ 600,000 in a short time. Everything happened very quickly, in just 45 seconds.

First they activated the alarm, which takes one minute to activate. However, everything happened so quickly that the alarm did not even sound, and the police arrived at the scene three minutes later.

The police report states that seven people entered the salon through a window, after which they found the keys, took the cars and left in different directions.

During the night, the police managed to find five cars, one of which was destroyed during the police chase, and the driver was arrested. Four cars were found at various locations in Tennessee and Alabama, and one of them had run out of gas. The sixth car has not yet been found, but is believed to be in Alabama.
