First of all, this thread is for a PLUG-IN HYBRID, not EV Wrangler. That means it has a gas engine to get home after the limited range battery is depleted, so please stop worrying about charging batteries on the trail! You won't need it as long as you have gas in the tank. You will now have even more range than the gas only version.! No solar panel is needed. Second, even if this were the full EV vehicle coming later, most good EV's have a range equal to a gasoline powered vehicle. The Tesla S model 100D has a 370 mile range. The Rubicon trail is 22 miles long. I've done it several times.There are EV charging stations not far from either trailhead. The longest 4wd trail I've been on was about 130 miles. No big deal. It won't be the Fiat 500E tiny battery pack.
