Electric Wrangler confirmed

[toddinrochester]

I would consider one if they make it in a 2 door. My son is going to college in about a year so my wife can have a car with gas and I can have the electric Wrangler for local stuff. I just wouldn't buy one the first year they come out. Let Jeep work out the kinks first.

Learned that lesson when I bought a 21 GCL Altitude when it came out. Was in the shop more than I drove it. Ended up getting the Willys wrangler instead and never looked back.

Ain’t Ya Heard ?

How exciting !

I'm going to have to disagree.... The nerd in me wants a car that sounds like this did....

Just not a Jeep....

We’ve gone EV at our house recently. Still have the Jeep, of course. For nothing else than we wanted to, because we enjoy different kinds of cars.

Not gonna lie, having an EV around is pretty awesome.

My son bought an EV this summer, a Chevy Bolt. He lives in the snow belt and just changed from the traction less EV specific tires to winter tires with the special rubber compound and tread needed for snow and ice. The tires are the exact same size as the original tires, but they dropped his EV range by 50 miles.

He has to do a 300-mile one way trip for National Guard duty every month (600 miles total). In the Chevy Trax he owned previously it would take him 4 hours to drive 300 miles (80 mph speed limit). Now it takes him 10 hours to make that 300-mile drive. He can drive for 80 miles, then charge for 1 1/2 hours, then do that over again until he gets there. So, that makes for 20 hours of driving to make his 600-mile trip every month. He just texted me yesterday that he is going to trade in his EV and go back to gasoline.

Didn't read all 4 pages, but NEVER for me! I'll just go back to Toyota if I have too. I have range anxiety with my leaf blowers!! Where I live and how I drive will never fit the EV idea. I wish they would stop cramming it down our throats.

Not yet, new Tacos come with base turbo 4, tuned up turbo 4, and next spring the hybrid iforce Max

I was thinking 4 Runner. So far, I think they are still ICE. I could do a Hybrid , depending on the systems, but never full EV. Pretty sure many are in my camp considering that 3000 dealers just sent a letter to the White House to ask that they stop with the unreasonable mandates. They have lots full of cars they can't even get people to test drive let alone sell.

Yeah I could do with a plug in hybrid if it gets at least 50 mile range, my daily commute is 40 round trip, can charge in garage overnight, sometimes at work too. But hopefully my '21 Sahara will keep going into the 2030's...already did the CF2 upgrade, got a small lift and true 33's to go on in the spring, also adding Bilstein 5100's and the longer Mopar LCA's while I'm messing with it...

Right: the next generation will all be hybrid, correct? Not the current generation, the one coming out in the spring.

The 2024 Tacos should start showing up soon, they will be the new model, the iforce max won't debut til spring from what I've read...

Ahhh, the hybrid is optional. I thought it was standard.

As far as I have read it'll be the top option, standard on the TRD Pro and Trailhunter, not sure about availability on the lower trims...

I'm waiting for our california electrical prices to keep increasing at the rate they have for the past 20 years, everyone going to EV wait till you pay 600+ a month for not even running the AC during the day. I live in california this is already a reality for a lot.
