I read in "Green Car Congress " July 2019 article , that the ZF 8 spd automatic we have is getting an electric motor built into the transmission housing. The internal packaging doesn't increase the size of the transmission, they say..
If this is coming to market, it will be a natural for Wranglers..fingers crossed.

Yes - Rubicon! I think I see a front diff! I hope someone thinks to get some photos from the under side showing more detail, esp the rear...
From some of the earlier spy photos it does have a front axle (no IFS), but it did look like they were CV axles instead of a ujoint at the knuckle

Thanks for 12 entertaining pages! But, the guys from the old Top Gear already figured out electric cars and perfected one - remember the Geoff?

This is cool and interesting but not for me. If I'm going electric, I'm going 100% electric. I also want at least 500miles of range.

Giving it Supercharger compatibility would help as well.

Thanks for those pics. Would be good to get one underneath the front as well, so we can see what base motor we're dealing with.

They did a pretty good job locating the batteries. Looks like still an equivalent size gas tank as the non-EV models, which is good. You can see the coolant lines for the batteries draped around the frame rails.

I think from earlier spy shots we also saw that the front axle will have CV shafts.
