A fully electric Chrysler Pacifica is in the works

Chrysler is working on a fully electric version of the Chrysler Pacifica minivan, according to Green Car Reports. The EV version reportedly would “likely” come a year after the company debuts a Pacifica design refresh that features elements of the Halcyon concept that Stellantis showed off earlier this year.

At the moment, the Pacifica lineup includes a standard gas-powered minivan and a plug-in hybrid with an estimated 32-mile electric-only driving range before it switches over to gas. Chrysler CEO Christine Feuell, who confirmed the plans to Green Car Reports during the LA Auto Show on Thursday, wouldn’t say whether the company will keep the plug-in hybrid alongside the all-electric model.

Chrysler will reportedly need to rejigger the Pacifica’s “Stow ‘N Go” seating system, which lets owners fold seats down to make a flat loading floor, to accommodate Stellantis’ BEV powertrain. Feuell told the outlet that one solution it’s considering would involve storing the second-row seats underneath the front seats. Another idea reportedly involves putting second-row outboard seats on rails that let them slide sideways.
