BC: Understanding the Battery Pack on the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

As the top-ranked eco-friendly minivan on the market, the new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid boasts an innovative powertrain. Available at Cranbrook Dodge in BC, you can drive home in one today!   The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 Hybrid engine is coupled with a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Also partnered with the eFlite Electrically Variable Transmission (EVT), it has an estimated fuel economy of 2.7 L/100 km (105 MPGe) in the city and 3.1 L/100 km (91 MPGe) on the highway.   Thanks to the Regenerative Braking System, you won't have to worry about running out of juice if you get caught in a traffic jam. Plus, the Pacifica Hybrid can travel for 51 km on electricity alone. That translates to a total combined driving range of 835 km.   As for replenishing the energy stores, you can use either the standard Level 1 (120-volt) charger or the optional Level 2 (240-volt) version. The first unit will have the battery at 100 percent after overnight usage. The second cable can get you back on the road in as little as two hours.   Would you like to give the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid a try in person?
