I'd like to suggest that a Chrysler Pacifica Plugin Hybrid might be similar enough to a Honda Odyssey to be worth considering.
I've test driven one, and found it to be a pretty good minivan. The all-electric range is advertised at around 30 miles, and the only time the ICE came on during my test-drive was when I slammed the gas pedal to the floor while pulling onto the highway. Of course, a PHEV is only a substitute for an EV if your typical day requires less than all-electric range (~30 miles in this case). -Luke On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 11:27 AM Peri Hartman via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > I need to take a serious look at converting my 2000 honda odyssey.
