Chrysler EPIC EV Minivan from the 1990s

I had no idea that this vehicle existed. This article from Green Car Reports talks about it briefly. This YouTube video was fascinating and gave a pretty in-depth overview of the EV minivan.

The charging port looks like a CHAdeMO plug. This van even included DC fast charging in 1993!! I'm quite impressed with this design. I wonder what other EVs were being designed in small numbers in the 90s.

Re: Chrysler EPIC EV Minivan from the 1990s

Right after I bought my FFE, I attended a EV car gathering at our local AQMD office here in the San Gabriel Valley. There was a EV S10 pickup there that I had no idea even existed. More info on it here, if you trust Wikipedia.

There was also an EV Ford Ranger only available to fleet buyers. I almost bought a used one years ago.
