ROAM THE PLANET WHILE TAKING CARE OF IT

“Leave nothing behind” just took on a whole new meaning. The Jeep EV development vehicle infuses Wrangler’s go-anywhere capability with eco-friendly emissions.

For your typical commutes, the four-door Jeep EV won’t sip an ounce of gasoline or emit any carbon, relying on its electric motor and advanced lithium-ion battery system for the first 40 miles. When you feel like wandering, a small gasoline engine with an integrated electric generator produces the additional energy needed to power the electric-drive system – up to 400 miles on eight to ten gallons of gas.

If your adventure should include some off-roading, you can rely on the instant high torque of the electric-drive motor and the ability to precisely control each wheel independently to get you where you need to go – paved or unpaved.

Stay tuned for the announcement of more additions to the Jeep EV family in the months to come.
