The 4xe is really appealing to me for a number of reasons beyond the better MPG's.
-Tax Credit
-I visit the mountains often (to ski, jeep, mtn bike, etc) and could utilize the regenerative braking.
-I also commute less than 30 miles each way and have charging stations at my work
My ONLY hesitation with the 4xe is the additional weight, which is substantial when comparing it with a standard Rubicon. The 4xe Rubicon curb weight is 5222 pounds, which is 772 pounds heavier than a standard rubicon's 4450 curb weight. The additional torque makes up for the weight, but that is also assuming that there is enough power for the electric engines. I wanted to start a discussion on how you guys think the weight will impact the 4xe's off-road performance.
