Electric Jeeps coming to a trail near you

  • "Vehicles like the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, Chinese-market Jeep Grand Commander PHEV and the upcoming 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited PHEV are great examples of the new electrification programs put forth by FCA."


    How will they get charging stations in the middle of Moab or the Rubicon?

  • PHEV...plugin hybrid not unlike the Volt I use as a commuter. I personally welcome it, the instant torque and smoothness of an EV is addicting. While I like a nice rumbling V8 or the Cummins in my CJ10 I find the idea of an EV truck or Jeep intriguing. The improvements in battery technology and BMS in the past few years has made the idea much more feasible.

  • It will be interesting to see how this technology develops. It seems like the idea of electronic vehicles is finally getting accepted by the major manufacturers. Therefore the technology should grow rapidly. We will see more and more charging stations popping up.


    There's a house in Old New Castle that has his charging stations wired into an old horse tie-up pole on the street in front of his house. Pretty cool set up

  • I also will miss the sounds of a healthy motor. Hell I miss the gutteral sounds of a 4 Barrell kicking in.
