Although it did go much longer in the Tahoe and Escalade and even found it's way into 2009 Durangos and Aspens. I think it had poor timing, a bit ahead of it's time, and it needed a bigger battery and a plug in hybrid mode. It could all electic propulsion but didn't plug in or have a very large battery considering the room and weight capacity available. I considered buying a Hybrid Aspen when I bought my gas Aspen used. They wanted about double, $19,000 vs $10,000 for Hemi I bought. I just couldn't make the gas savings swing the $9000 extra.
