Starting at $39,995, the Pacifica is affordable, seats 7 and charges up in just two hours with a Level 2 charger. The 33 miles of electric range are more than enough for the average daily drive, covering commuting and kid duty. We are also in the city, so if you have a 100 mile round-trip commute every day, your economics might work out differently.The Chrysler Pacifica is the first plug-in hybrid minivan available, finally giving parents who want to reduce emissions a great way to cart around their kids without getting gas.
It may take a year to get ROI on the charger, but the convenience and ability to go all electric for the most drives is awesome. (That’s funny math and you essentially get infinite MPG while in all electric.) Electricity is much cheaper than gas per mile and we never fill this thing with gas. It shows the total MPG WHILE in hybrid mode - not overall accounting for electric only times and assigns an MPG value while in all electric mode.

If you have the standard charger, it’s 13 hours to full and that is very limiting and greatly diminishes your ability to get the most all electric time.Īlso, the MPG calculation is misleading on the Pacifica. Kiddo to an activity in the AM use 75% of the battery. With ~2 hours to full, the vast, vast majority of our driving is all electric. I got the 32 amp JuiceBox as it puts out 7.7 kw and the Pacifica’s max draw is 6.6kw. Happily the previous owner already had 240v in our garage and I just needed to swap an existing NEMA 10-50 for a 14-50. There's something awesome about watching the display on the EVSE while it "pumps" in a kWh every 10 minutes.Electricity cost is dependent on your rates, but you could get on a time-of-use plan and take advantage of it much more easily with level 2.I left to go to the airport at 10:30p with ~85% charge. Case-in-point: I depleted the battery in the morning but was recharging on 110V by 11:30a. If you deplete it in a morning trip, you're unlikely to be done recharging in time if you have an evening trip.Any additional will probably trip the breaker. If the breaker is 15A, you can't use anything else on that circuit while charging since the vehicle will pull the max continuous amps.If the initial electrical crew took some shortcuts, or your outlets are worn out, recharging over 110 can cause fires.(80A breaker from main panel feeding a garage subpanel with 3x 50A breakers each feeding a NEMA 6-50 outlet, 40A max continuous each, 64A Max continuous concurrent) My installation was a little over the top and completed by a helpful electrician neighbor, so the price I paid probably won't help, but it will be able to charge both vehicles at the same time.
It can recharge the vehicle at 29A 240V for a 2.5 hour charge time. Here's some of my experiences/observations with that vehicle.įully depleted, the Clarity takes 15.5 kWh to recharge at a max rate of 12 Amps 110 V which takes at least 12 hours.
I do have a Honda Clarity, which has similar capacity battery and charge rate characteristics.
I don't have a Pacifica Hybrid, though I've been considering getting one to replace my wife's Odyssey.
