FAQ
Still curious about the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid? Get answers to some frequently asked questions about America’s first and only Plug-in Hybrid minivan.
CHARGING
Charging your Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is easy. Simply plug the charger cord in to the vehicle's power outlet. It comes with a Level 1 120-volt AC charging cord set, which requires a conventional 120-volt AC grounded wall receptacle along with the portable charging cord set.
You will find the charging cord set by opening the cargo area storage bin on the driver side. Inside the bin, you’ll find the charging cord in a storage bag. Keep in mind, that this cord set is for Level 1 charging only.
Before you begin charging, it’s important to ensure that your vehicle is turned off and in park. Once you begin, plug the AC plug of the charging set into the grounded wall receptacle. Then, take the charge connector and place it in the vehicle’s charge inlet. A “click” will be heard when inserted correctly, and the charge active indicator lights will cycle from left to right. Once your vehicle is fully charged, the lights in the charge indicator will show all five bars. You’re now ready to go.
Using the Level 1 120-volt charger, the vehicle can be fully recharged in approximately 14 hours.
You can shorten the time and charge your Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid in as little as 2 hours by using an available Level 2 240-volt charger.
However, the estimated charging times are based on a completely discharged high-voltage battery. Charging times will vary based on various factors including the age, condition, state of charge, available current being provided to the charger from its energy source and temperature of the high-voltage battery.
The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid comes equipped with a Level 1 charger, so you don’t have to purchase one. But if you’re looking for a faster charge time, you can purchase a Level 2 240-volt charger when you visit Mopar.com or your local Chrysler Brand dealership.
You can schedule installation for a level 2 home charging station on Qmerit's website. This requires purchase and professional installation. Contact your local Chrysler Brand dealership for details. Get started by answering a few simple questions to get pricing options.

WHY CHRYSLER PACIFICA PLUG-IN HYBRID?
Outside of being America’s first and only Plug-in Hybrid minivan, the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid offers many helpful features that are designed to make family life a whole lot easier. When it comes to safety and security, the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid offers more standard safety and security features than any vehicle in its class. With the Easy Tilt Second-Row Seat families can easily access the third row—even with a rear-facing child seat in the second row. With up to 81 different seating configurations, the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid lets you remove the second-row seats or tumble forward and stow the third row into the floor for even more room. These are some of the great features the Pacifica PHEV has over the competition.
While we think both vehicles offer outstanding performance, one important advantage of the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is the ability to drive on an all-electric charge, so you’ll spend less time at the pump and more time going about your day. And don’t worry, you won’t lose out on other features by choosing the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid. Both the Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid are equipped with many of the same amenities—with conveniences like amazing cargo space, including third-row Stow ’n Go®, seating for seven and many standard innovative safety and security features. Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection are just a few examples. In our opinion, you can't go wrong by picking either of these vehicles.
You should consider getting a Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid because it offers great fuel economy. With a pure electric range of 32 miles, 82 MPGe and a total driving range of 520 miles, you can go pretty far in this minivan. Once the electric charge is fully consumed, the vehicle seamlessly transitions to using solely gas, so you never have to worry about being stranded. Available on most models including Pinnacle, the exceptional and efficient hybrid powertrain delivers a pure electric range for local driving and gas range for extended excursions, so you have the freedom to go wherever you want–near or far.
PERFORMANCE
The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid has an EPA estimated all-electric range of 32 miles. And when it’s fully charged and has a full tank of fuel, the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid will deliver a total driving range of up to 520 miles. You'll go far in the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid.
There isn’t an option to select driver modes because the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid constantly monitors various factors like speed, terrain and temperature to help ensure it is in the most efficient mode. This helps to make every trip seamless and easy for the driver.
One way to maximize your range during the winter season is to keep your vehicle fully charged when possible. In order to maximize the battery charge, consider gradual accelerations when possible. When doing so, you will be able to help keep miles driven in electric mode.
Electric range varies because different temperatures affect the batteries in unique ways. In cold weather, the battery needs more energy for the heating systems and also in hot weather due to heavier load on the air conditioning system. Also, the batteries are often less efficient at low or high temperatures.
Driving in Low (L) will increase the rate of deceleration along with increasing regeneration of power into the vehicle's high-voltage battery. Drive (D) is for everyday conditions.
CAPABILITIES
The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid utilizes two electric drive motors, a planetary gear set and a one-way clutch internal to its transmission. Each electric drive motor has a primary function. One motor is used for charging the high-voltage battery and starting the gas engine while the other is used solely for electric drive operation. The Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is unique in that given the one-way clutch, the charging/starting motor can also be used in dual motor electric drive. This additional functionality maximizes efficiency and also allows for optimum all-electric drive vehicle speed. The V6 engine is seamlessly integrated into the powertrain and contributes toward high-voltage battery charging or vehicle propulsion automatically based on driving conditions. Both motors are constantly working to best integrate electric power versus gas (until charge is depleted) or vice versa. The system is consistently monitoring to provide you with maximum fuel efficiency.
The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with a standard Audible Pedestrian Warning System, which uses distinct sounds to alert pedestrians that your vehicle is approaching. The sounds are made from an in-car sound synthesizer with a speaker located in the underhood compartment at lower speeds. The warning system is automatically activated when the vehicle is in Reverse, Neutral, Drive or Low.
While the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is loaded with great features, it should not be used for towing and has no official tow rating. The Chrysler Pacifica gas model can tow up to 3,600 pounds.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid requires unleaded regular gasoline having a posted octane number of 87. The use of higher-octane premium gasoline is not required. Do not use E85 fuel or other ethanol blends greater than 15% in this engine.
The expected life of the lithium-ion battery is the life of the vehicle. The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid also comes with a 10-Year/150,000-Mile Limited Battery Warranty or a 8-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Battery Warranty, depending on where you bought the vehicle and the state you live in.
Don’t worry, your vehicle will help by reminding you. The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. You can take the vehicle to any FCA US LLC franchised dealership in your area. Now that’s some smart engineering on our part. Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), 12 months or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first.
Let’s just say it helps make your vehicle more efficient. Since it is possible for the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid to operate for extended periods of time without running the gas engine, this mode helps minimize the potential for stale fuel and helps ensure proper lubrication of internal engine components. The vehicle will automatically enter this mode and will exit when conditions have been satisfied. When operating in this mode, the gas engine will run to provide vehicle propulsion. Additionally, a message will appear on the Digital Cluster Display when this mode is activated.
