Chrysler readies three hybrid concepts for Detroit auto show

Chrysler is planning to reveal three concept vehicles at the Detroit auto show that feature clean, green hybrid powertrains this January. The concepts share similar and different attributes. The electric motors in each case are driven by high-tech lithium-ion batteries. Each concept uses a different power source to charge those batteries, however. It's similar to GM's Chevrolet Volt concept- which uses electricity to drive the car, but either hydrogen, diesel or gasoline to generate the electricity.
