It was widely rumored that Chrysler would reveal an all-electric minivan at this week's Consumer Electronics Show—and now we have the details.

But the Chrysler Portal concept that will debut at CES won't be showing up at your local dealer any time soon.

Far from it, in fact: the Portal is Fiat Chrysler's idea of a future in which we'll travel in electric cars that drive themselves.

And apparently we'll be sharing everything about our trips on social media, since the the Portal will let its occupants "turn road trips into social memories.”

The Chrysler electric minivan concept is designed to seat six, and promises a range of 250 miles on a single charge. The company said only that the battery capacity would be 100 kilowatt-hours.

FCA's press release notes that fast charging will add around 150 miles of range in about 20 minutes using fast charging—presumably at up to 150 kilowatts, versus today's 50-kw limit on deployed Combined Charging System stations.
