Chrysler Leaps Into Electric Vehicle Race. By Tim Higgins, Detroit Free Press, September 24, 2008. "Chrysler... Tuesday announced ambitious plans to develop a full lineup of electric-drive vehicles, one of which it says will be ready for sale by the end of 2010... The announcement also comes as Chrysler, GM and Ford Motor Co. are lobbying the U.S. government for at least $25 billion in loans to help retool so they can make more fuel-efficient vehicles... Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Bob Nardelli said Tuesday's unveiling was intended to give a glimpse at the automaker's near future and demonstrate how serious Chrysler is about bringing electric vehicles to customers. 'We're developing a full portfolio. ... I think that's what's uniquely different about today's announcement,' he said. 'We're not talking about a car -- we're talking about a full line.'"
