    The main thing wrong with Jeep and EV is that it is pretty much guaranteed to be 100% software garbage. Imagine being worse than VW software. That is Stellantis/Jeep. There is a reason why VW threw in the towel and bought Rivian modules and software recently. Jeep should do the same- buy Rivian modules and software as Rivian has proven their software is rock solid and just works in the real world. Just look at the tragic Charger EV rollout to see how bad the Jeep Recon is likely going to be as far as software and drive system.

      The 4xe is remarkably efficient for being so boxy. I'm sure they won't get the distance claimed, but it's not impossible. You just need more battery. That means a worse handling vehicle and worse charge times but there's no reason they can't do it.

    If fast charging stations were ubiquitous maybe 600km of range is good enough, but it's about 430km now with the new highways from my place near Toronto to my sister's place near Sudbury. That's probably the largest city furthest north, that's maybe 20% of the length of just Ontario. You can travel across Canada from coast to coast, around 8000km which can be completed in about 100 hours of nonstop driving. Not having high speed charging infrastructure or battery swapping, this will make long road trips much longer, never mind trying to find stations in rural areas or national parks. Also temperature can effect range and speed, we can get -40°C just in Ontario.

    Greetings from Spain. I live in the north in a town of around 12k. Over the last few months, 4 new jeeps appeared in my town, two EV's and 2 hybrids, all of them renegades. There must be some of kinda offer for them. There's only one Tesla and around 20-30 other EV's but there are a lot of hybrids.
    I'm surprised that they are putting in chargers all over town. We went from 2 to 15 since summer and everyday I see them putting in more but... most people just don't have the cash to change cars.

    Jeep often times over estimates there gas mileage. I have many friends with Jeep Wranglers and they are rated 18/23/20 MPG city/Hwy/combined, and they all say they only get around 14/15 MPG. The 4 door version has a 21 gallon fuel tank, and if you run it until the fuel light comes on, you've used around 17 gallons. So your really getting around 250 miles on a tank. If this electric vehicle gets at least that it would be fine.

      It takes electricity to run gas stations and to pump and pay for gasoline.
      No gas stations off road either.
      Electric power generators can add several miles to an EV for extra range. Solar panels can add a bit of extra range. If traveling up hill or into mountains with an EV, the return trip down hill adds energy back into the battery by regenerative braking.
      EV range is increased when traveling slowly or crawling, which is the opposite of ICE vehicles, which use more gas when traveling slowly.
      EV range when off-roading is less of a concern than with any gas vehicle, especially those with V8s or large engines.

    If you have 90-100k to spend on a Jeep in Australia good for you but no thanks.

    Wouldn’t buy any Jeep products, unless you’re willing to pay through the teeth in repair bills. And bet you a wooden nickel that most of their mechanics wouldn’t know how to fix any EV vehicles, just like the mechanics at Ford.

    100000 Australian $ who can afford that or even needs a monster truck that fits in no parking bay at the shopping centre. GWM Tank 300 is less than half price and probably better.

    Can you imagine driving one of these cheaply made and overpriced shit boxes? No one buys American made Jeeps anymore.

    The reliability of jeeps is pretty terrible. I wouldn't buy these models in the first year of production. To answer your question the interior looks crappy. The interior and screens of the rivian are far better

    Jeep has no clue how to build an EV.
    Writing nice specs is easy. 😂😂

    What a ridiculous vehicle, shaped like a brick and heavy, so it is inefficient on the road, and you can't take it too far off-road without quickly running out of juice.

    Jeep constuction quality is poor. Lots of plastic, parts that rattle, bad fit, low quality and cheap. No way would I buy anything from Jeep.
