I’ve said this several times on this forum.

They cannot and will not ever build a fully electric wrangler.

Putting the electric motor in front of the transmission is the only way to keep it a wrangler and it’s drivetrain. That is not efficient enough for a full electric vehicle.

IMHO the looks are that of a concept vehicle that should have stayed concept. It's like they let the intern have the final say on design.

We live in a world with fully electric F-150s and you think we will never see an electric Wrangler? Seems pretty short sighted to me. We 100% will see one. Probably announced by 2025.

I look forward to all the details on the Recons drive train and suspension. What a great test bed before making changes to the Wrangler. Also, they are already saying its trail rated, which normally means they took one down the Rubicon. Did I miss the spy photos of this happening?

Why did they make this? Just do the all electric Wrangler and no this isn't a Wrangler
I find it strange that it wasn't an electric Wrangler. I can only assume they are keeping it separate to keep the anti EV happy as well as the EV people

Targeting a different market segment. This Recon is what the Cherokee should of been when they re-released it.

Have they discussed any pricing for this thing? It’s going to have to be low to compete with the Ford Maverick market they’re going after.
