The Recon, will be placed just below the Wrangler in the model line. Making the Wrangler the "Luxury"/Halo 4x4 SUV; of the brand. Most people don't off-road them anyways... so the Recon, will do just fine. Offering a lot of the Wrangler utility! This allows the Wrangler to scale-up in price... with editions priced like G-Wagons!!! You heard it here first!!!!
Looks like Jeep is trying to make a Bronco on the front end. I agree with your assessment. Not a fan. Jeep needs to be a Jeep. Do not copy. Other manufacturers copy you.
The Recon looks awesome! Ford has to be pissed, clearly designed to take on the Bronco with that suspension. Looks perfect for me. Don’t need to do hard core rock crawling, but I want general off-road competency, open air driving, and good on-road handling. All that and zero emissions…very cool!
The new Recon, is Jeep's G-Wagon, Defender & Bronco. At a more affordable price... Good move! This way the Wrangler stands more alone, with no other. A more unique offering in the marketplace.
Being someone that has both a 2001 XJ & a 2020 JL. I love this, it looks like they had a baby & it's the Recon. It has the doors off like my wrangler & the boxy body like my XJ. I'm so interested in the range & charging capability.
All of these people who are banging their drums about EVs as capable offroad vehicles are out of touch with reality. The manufactures tout great ranges, but that's under ideal general on road conditions. The batteries drain insanely fast in real off road conditions. A buddy of mine has the 4xE and we've tested the range 3 times on actual trails. Running solely electric, the maximum range he can get is 7 miles. Imagine if you didn't have a gasoline backup resource. You'd be stuck with no way to recharge. Even if brought a gasoline generator, you'd be sitting for hours waiting to recharge. It would be so amazing if RUclipsrs would do some real world testing on these things. I think everyone needs to see these for what they really are - mall crawlers and glamorous grocery getters.
They clearly said they’re not gonna replace the wrangler with the new Recon any time soon! But I’m definitely digging the new Recon!👌🥰👍I definitely would buy one! Just gorgeous!
There's a reason they didn't call it the Wrangler. Which is why I think this is fine... It's something different. And I suspect a "real" Wrangler EV will come in time.
I like the styling okay. Love the power top and better ride of the independent suspension. Seems like a great beach cruiser to me. Just not 100% sold on the look, and like you said, the range is going to be important. The Rubicon trail is only about 22 miles. Another 16 miles (total for both ways) to Lake Tahoe, which is the town he was talking about, and that's only a range of about 38 miles. However, I am not sure how much EV juice the Rubicon would take. Although it's only 22 miles, it might be intensive when you're crawling. I just don't know. I personally need at least 300 miles minimum in order for me to consider an EV. 400 or more and I'm definitely a potential buyer.
A Warn Zeon 12 platinum winch at full capacity draw pulls 446 amps. How much do you think that will reduce your mileage if you had to use it? Math word problems of 2023.
I bet this Jeep has an adjustable air suspension system and that's what those paddle switches were for. Several reasons why I think this. 1) For range reasons. I believe Cybertruck is doing the same. 2) If you look at images on Stellantis's EV platform page there is a see through image of what appears to be a future jeep that looks exactly like the Recon and it looks like it has adjustable air struts. 3) To stop us from modifying the suspension. An off road EV in this configuration is uncharted territory (they don't want us messing with it). If they really want to win us over, it must have the following: 600 HP, 600 ft pounds of torque (remember this will probably weigh over 5500 lbs.), 400-500 miles of highway range, rear wheel steering at low speeds, front sway bar disconnect, rear window powers down into the tailgate, mirrors attached to the A pillar. Did I forget anything?
They are claiming 400 miles of range ,, and this looks extremely similar to a first Gen jeep KJ Liberty .. except the electric motors of course , and liberty has a hybrid IFS Dana 30 front and a solid rear axel mopar 8 1/4 rear axel which is basically a dana 44 , they use in ram trucks ,, and a KJ has a payload of 1150 lbs and tow capacity of 5,000 lbs… but the KJ has way better approach , crossover and departure angles and has a much beefier frame and suspension , from what i have seen so far.. compare them you will see they look very similar..
About the dimensions: if the guy presenting is 1.8 m high. He takes 5 steps to cover the length so it is like 4.5 m. and 1.9 m in height. However, I think the car is incorrectly proportioned in photoshop next to him because the wheels are too big - they are above his knees almost to his hips - those are in 35 inch territories (no way this has such big wheels!). More likely I think this is like a bronco sport (this small one) maybe just a bit longer. But it looks way better than the bronco sport overall, it does not have the horrendous C pillars (which comes with bad visibility) and it looks to have bigger wheels. In my book, it fixes everything I hated about the bronco sport which was a smaller off-roader (the car I am looking for). So this one looks great, can't wait to find out more about it.
Looks like a 265/70 18. That would get it tall without it being wide, which would be better for an EV. I suspect a less capable version of this vehicle will come with a tire and wheel package that is much lighter then KO2s.
Watched it this morning 🌄 I was blown away but yes reminded me of bronco. Yes I was looking at small details everything thing you mentioned. Love whole new design. Think this bring more people into Jeep brand but it's weird no bading looks removed . Can't wait to see one at trade shows . Winch bumper , Mirrors , after market jump on board . Now thing you know is Outlanding your thoughts on roof camping ?
Oh NO! Not another Bronco! Sort of looks like what you might get if you married a Compass and an H3 and they had a baby. I do see a lot that I like also, but this isn't a final version of the vehicle. It's hard to live in California and get all excited about an electric vehicle that won't even make it out of the garage now days.
You got right…No Way I’ll never buy a EV Jeep or not. I may consider a Hybrid but I have a wander Rubicon and love it. Being that I live in crap hole California and 2035 they will ban selling gas cars, I’ll still have the Rubicon and another jeep so I’m set. Definitely don’t like anything about the Recon but the tan color of the seats. That is definitely not a off reader or electric and water don’t mix. Crazy people who buy EV for off roading are in for trouble.
This thing looks more like a direct Bronco competitor and based on that, they should keep the regular Wrangler in the lineup because it is more customizable. You cannot rip out the suspension and drivetrain of an EV and put 46” tires on it, you just can’t. Therefore, I don’t see any RUclipsrs ever having one of these. I have found the Bronco to be very much too wide for a lot of trails, Black Bear Pass for one, and the lack of articulation in the suspension will make this thing just as useless as the Bronco in situations where a solid axle is mandatory because of the need for flex. This is a nice vehicle, I look forward to the final model.
I don’t know how I feel about this from Jeep. I do like the retractable rooftop though. Actually wish it was available for the gladiator 🤷🏼♂️. Safe travels 🌲
No way! Will never want an electric vehicle. Especially an off-road one! You have to charge for hours instead of 1 or 2 minutes of filling your gas tank… would you have to carry extra batteries to get a charge so you do not get stuck out in the middle of nowhere? As we see in California… they cannot handle power needs now.. are they going to take half the state and destroy the natural environment to place endless fields of solar panels and windmills just so the cities have power?
What the-- You stupid?? It takes a lot longer than one or two minutes to fill a tank, not even counting the time spent waiting in line or doing the transaction. Not to mention needing to get out of your car in nasty and cold weather. An electric car doesn't take hours. It takes SECONDS. You plug it in each night on your way into your house. Done. Didn't even have to stand out on thr cold, wait in line, make a detour in your drive, or even THINK about refueling. Ever. Again. Carrying around a loose can of gasoline seems dangerous. Especially in a vehicle that will definitely cause it to spill. More stupid. They already have fields of farmland, don't they? No need to cut down the forests. Assuming they even have any.
It’s not an off road jeep, it’s an electric Compass. At the parking lot at the end of the trail this jeep is on will also have a Ford Mustang in it. Electric off road jeeps are not doable with the current technology.
I know quite a few people that purchased a ev vehicle. Now they wait hours instead of a few minutes to get back on the road. Needless to say, they quickly traded them in on gas once again. And quite alot were upside down on their second purchase.
It looks like an electric Jeep Renegade to me. Its way cooler than the gas Renegade but not as cool as the Wrangler. I hope they do a Wrangler that is all electric soon or even better a Gladiator!!
I like it. ItMO, i’s what the Cherokee/Grand Cherokee should have evolve in. They will test the fully EV with that until it’s ready whiteout messing with the Wrangler. What I don’t like? The name! Come on Jeep Recon, seriously?
Very interesting, EV's are defently the future. Its a good looking truck reminds me of the Renagade, the overhead photo with the doors off shows mirrors on the fenders. Real world range will be interesting to see how well it can be driven off road.
The words EV and Off Road do not belong in the same sentence. Although the new Recon looks badass, there's something cosmically hysterical about the idea of a fully electric Off-Road vehicle, out of juice, stuck in MOAB, surrounded by dozens of ICE Off-Road vehicles laden with jerry cans of useless fuel. Preposterous.
I always stop, as most do, when someone offroad is having a problem. With that said, I look forward to coming across an EV simply out of juice. 😆 I guess I could offer them a bottle of water.
I would say that the rear glass on the sides and the tailgate are actually electric windows. Most owners of the Wrangler 4XE are disappointed with the distance they can go off-road, this would be even worse being all-electric, and need a rack for the generator and fuel. Will be great for going to the Mall though. Great review Casey.
Great view but the electronic lovers are going have to do better than that can't charge that in the bush. love to see that in a river crossing and when your out of range the extra fuel . solar would halp but wouldn't get you back fixing it on the go is out.running a winch fridges and lighting takes a toll on range . probably good for a country that has towns close together or you've got extra days probably also good for weekenders but for most that have got a lot to prove I think hydrogen will be a better fit for Most like me in the sticks even it has drawbacks I know we have to look at better fuels but we should be able to make our own minds up hate being told what we won't that my rant over great to see Casey that you had a great inparshel look at it all .I'll stay with my xj and utes for know keep up the good work from Australia
That is a good thing! Body mounted mirrors are horrible, you break it on a tree and now you have to replace body panels which we all know will be outrageous in cost.
A land cruiser has a very similar wheelbase and can tow more than a gladiator. Jeep has cooling issues with the Wrangler and Gladiator that impacts towing.
Hard to believe this is a replacement for the Wrangler. I would call this more of another off-road capable offering from Jeep to meet a specific genre of customer.
This looks like more of a Renegade replacement if you ask me. I hope they do a Wrangler version of this. One major problem I see already would be what happens to the battery range when you put some larger tires on it? No one will keep those tires for off road/rock crawling if they can afford not to.
Replace wrangler? You have no idea what you are talking about. Jeep needs to go back to drawing board if they ever wish to have wrangler competing vehicle. This is a fail for me. There are so many things wrong with the deaign right off the bat.
Jeep Wrangler replacement ??? I certainly hope not , I'm no luddite , just stating facts, the technology just isn't there yet , for any kind of practical off road travel . The infrastructure just isn't there yet . Good luck going overlanding in something that may get 4 or 600 kilometres in perfect weather conditions (what about winter or cold Fall-spring days when you have maybe 30% battery power if lucky) where are you going to find charging , quick charging, in the middle of the bush . The the batteries way a ton...the more power you want the heavier the vehicle has to be because of the batteries it's a case of diminishing returns...ie the heavier it is the more power that is needed which requires more batteries which is heavier......and so on and so on ?? And this Recon is nothing like a wrangler and will not be as capable , with IFS and IRS YYyyyikes no thanks.....In my opinion it kinda looks a bit like the new LandRover Defender = YYyyuk , awful just awful no character and no soul. They are going to do to the Wrangler Jeep real Jeep, what LandRover did to the awesome old Defender...only worse terrible(at this time) electric tech. No the automotive world is going to hell in a hand basket , making vehicles with 0 character and soul . ThankChrist I have a 2-Door Wrangler and a 4-Door wrangler Rubicon which I will never let go. They will be collectors vehicles, as has become the old Defenders and Series Rovers....vehicles with that certain special something....classic style , particularly when viewed through the lens of what garbage they are trying to shove down our throats , and try and convince us it is good for the environment when in truth EV's are dirtier in totality from manufacture to battery disposal and mining of lithium , as well as charging (coal fired generators). Smoke and mirrors....Smoke and mirrors, Snake oil salesmen.....this is what it all is, and people are swallowing it all, hook line and sinker. Wake up people!!! Cheers Wild Bill Overlanding the Arctic watershed of Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec...Trans Taiga baby wooo Whooo!! Never stop exploring.
The batteries are EXTREMELY recyclable, and who the hell has coal power plants anymore? I've never even seen one before. Now polluting oil refineries, yes. I'd like to not have to breathe anywhere near one ever again.
Design wise I like it, hopefully with a solid roof too. But the EV only approach is a big let down, probably only planned as a mall crawler. But nice video anyway, really like this type of video
@@mikehayward4423 Dude, I went to EJS in Moab, and went to the JEEP booth where they had a 4xE..they said it is all a sales gimmic. They are over weight with batteries so they do not have a range over 100 miles and takes 4-7 hours to charge. He also said buying one helps the ego, not the polanest...FROM A JEEP REP AT A TRADE SHOW...100% scam but the leftist will buy it.
Its an ugly electric bloated Jeep Renegade.. Those red switches look just like the aux switches on the Wranglers, just moved to the console Its a pass for me
100% hate it. I've had three different jeeps in my life I will never drive an electric jeep they will lose a customer sorry to be so harsh about it but that's the way it is.
The Recon, will be placed just below the Wrangler in the model line. Making the Wrangler the "Luxury"/Halo 4x4 SUV; of the brand.

At 18:30 there are (2) mirror-looking objects sticking out and the doors are off.
Maybe they mirrors are movable? Seems kinda pointless, tho... Why have them on the door ever? Detachable seems like a good idea, tho.
Looks like Jeep is trying to make a Bronco on the front end. I agree with your assessment. Not a fan. Jeep needs to be a Jeep. Do not copy. Other manufacturers copy you.
You actually finally put up a real video. Thank you. I hate those short clips. They show nothing and are not even long enough to be a teaser.
The Recon looks awesome! Ford has to be pissed, clearly designed to take on the Bronco with that suspension. Looks perfect for me. Don’t need to do hard core rock crawling, but I want general off-road competency, open air driving, and good on-road handling. All that and zero emissions…very cool!
Classic Cherokee vibes.

@17:16 That's a very weird spot for important levers. Easy to tilt them by accident.

Or to mention that IT TAKES COAL TO RUN THE POWER PLANTS TO CHARGE THE EVs. These EV lovers just don’t see reality.
Is that the New Ford Bronco EV+??!!!!😆
Doing that trail would use a lot of juice, it's not like driving a normal commute...
They clearly said they’re not gonna replace the wrangler with the new Recon any time soon! But I’m definitely digging the new Recon!👌🥰👍I definitely would buy one! Just gorgeous!
Jeep is keeping up with the market, which is what I would love to see
Would love a all ev wrangler! When can we reserve one & it does look like a modern Bronco. This will be a hit for Jeep!!!
There's a reason they didn't call it the Wrangler. Which is why I think this is fine... It's something different. And I suspect a "real" Wrangler EV will come in time.

I hate electric seat controls. Takes forever to get set (when you are 2 users of the vehicule), which is a pain when it is raining or snow storming.
Same. Fancy/expensive doesn't always mean better...
It looks like a larger Bronco Sport
I wonder if its going to replace the Cherokee. As Jeep did announce a while go of cancelling the Cherokee name ????
They are claiming 400 miles of range ,, and this looks extremely similar to a first Gen jeep KJ Liberty .. except the electric motors of course , and liberty has a hybrid IFS Dana 30 front and a solid rear axel mopar 8 1/4 rear axel which is basically a dana 44 , they use in ram trucks ,, and a KJ has a payload of 1150 lbs and tow capacity of 5,000 lbs… but the KJ has way better approach , crossover and departure angles and has a much beefier frame and suspension , from what i have seen so far.. compare them you will see they look very similar..
I don't like the look of the front.

Tires appear to be 255 or 265 70 R16 or 18.
It will have an ice option also
The issue will come down to the ability to modify it. Like larger tires and such. I don't know how it will handle 37's or 40's.
Looks like an aggressive electric Jeep Liberty. Looks cool but it would have to have a very long range battery to want to take it to far off-road.
Ev's don't belong off raod. Its ugly too. This is a no for me.
Watched it this morning 🌄 I was blown away but yes reminded me of bronco. Yes I was looking at small details everything thing you mentioned. Love whole new design.

Quirks and Features... where have i heard that phrase before...
Oh NO! Not another Bronco! Sort of looks like what you might get if you married a Compass and an H3 and they had a baby. I do see a lot that I like also, but this isn't a final version of the vehicle. It's hard to live in California and get all excited about an electric vehicle that won't even make it out of the garage now days.
Rear tail lights by by the way they stick out but won't know till see on trail
I'll keep watching your vids even tho you bash on my bronco! lol
I bash Jeeps and Toyotas too :)
it seems to be smaller than the wrangler.
Sick to death of hearing about these electric crap vehicles. Battery power is not the future
You got right…No Way
I’ll never buy a EV Jeep or not. I may consider a Hybrid but I have a wander Rubicon and love it. Being that I live in crap hole California and 2035 they will ban selling gas cars, I’ll still have the Rubicon and another jeep so I’m set. Definitely don’t like anything about the Recon but the tan color of the seats. That is definitely not a off reader or electric and water don’t mix. Crazy people who buy EV for off roading are in for trouble.
This thing looks more like a direct Bronco competitor and based on that, they should keep the regular Wrangler in the lineup because it is more customizable. You cannot rip out the suspension and drivetrain of an EV and put 46” tires on it, you just can’t. Therefore, I don’t see any RUclipsrs ever having one of these. I have found the Bronco to be very much too wide for a lot of trails, Black Bear Pass for one, and the lack of articulation in the suspension will make this thing just as useless as the Bronco in situations where a solid axle is mandatory because of the need for flex. This is a nice vehicle, I look forward to the final model.
I don’t know how I feel about this from Jeep. I do like the retractable rooftop though. Actually wish it was available for the gladiator 🤷🏼♂️. Safe travels 🌲
No way! Will never want an electric vehicle. Especially an off-road one!

They need to stop with the charging station bullshit and put solar panels and other recharging methods for offroading...
What the-- You stupid?? It takes a lot longer than one or two minutes to fill a tank, not even counting the time spent waiting in line or doing the transaction. Not to mention needing to get out of your car in nasty and cold weather.
An electric car doesn't take hours. It takes SECONDS. You plug it in each night on your way into your house. Done. Didn't even have to stand out on thr cold, wait in line, make a detour in your drive, or even THINK about refueling. Ever. Again.
Carrying around a loose can of gasoline seems dangerous. Especially in a vehicle that will definitely cause it to spill.
More stupid. They already have fields of farmland, don't they? No need to cut down the forests. Assuming they even have any.
Seems to have a very Renegade look to it also.
Looks like a grand Cherokee to me more than a wrangler
When doors are actually a option on a Jeep 😂
The spare wheel is too high, no need for that. I see a lot of space to be placed lower, I hope they will do that.
Probably 4 motors like the Rivian
It’s not an off road jeep, it’s an electric Compass. At the parking lot at the end of the trail this jeep is on will also have a Ford Mustang in it. Electric off road jeeps are not doable with the current technology.
There is no way they would replace the Wrangler with this. Those hinges sticking out with the doors off are horrible.
I know quite a few people that purchased a ev vehicle. Now they wait hours instead of a few minutes to get back on the road. Needless to say, they quickly traded them in on gas once again. And quite alot were upside down on their second purchase.
Doubt that…
But I already have a golf cart made by E Z Go…..I don’t need another one with a Jeep label.
Oh noooooooo! No no no! LOL! You can't even say off road capable without smiling..
Not a fan, I will stick with my Wrangler
It looks like an electric Jeep Renegade to me. Its way cooler than the gas Renegade but not as cool as the Wrangler. I hope they do a Wrangler that is all electric soon or even better a Gladiator!!

Very interesting, EV's are defently the future. Its a good looking truck reminds me of the Renagade, the overhead photo with the doors off shows mirrors on the fenders. Real world range will be interesting to see how well it can be driven off road.
Not the future... Not at all...not even close....only thing they help is the ego of a leftist cult member

What do you get when you mix a Bronco and a Hummer? The new Jeep Bummer.........
looks like a bigger RENEGADE with a Hummer grill
I hope they do away with the goofy blue accents, or at least make it deleteable.
Saw the IRS. Not for me.
That's gotta be a replacement for a Cherokee, not the Wrangler.
Agreed! The second I saw this I thought it looked like an updated xj
Of course it's not a Wrangler. It's a Recon.
Looks like a Renegade on steroids. Gone to be hard to be a serious off road with EV limited range
One year on and havent seen any
Looks like a half renegade half H3 hummer lol haha
But...can it go through rivers?!?
Once.
@@Casey250 lol 😁
I would say that the rear glass on the sides and the tailgate are actually electric windows. Most owners of the Wrangler 4XE are disappointed with the distance they can go off-road, this would be even worse being all-electric, and need a rack for the generator and fuel. Will be great for going to the Mall though. Great review Casey.
The range for the 4xe is 370 on one tank of gas. Some Wranglers are less. So not sure why you would say people are disappointed.
I’m going to agree on the rear electric windows. At 20:50 the rear quarters are out/down and the doors are on.
Pass
no thanks
Looks like a Renegade... but in a EV version..
Great view but the electronic lovers are going have to do better than that can't charge that in the bush. love to see that in a river crossing and when your out of range the extra fuel . solar would halp but wouldn't get you back fixing it on the go is out.running a winch fridges and lighting takes a toll on range . probably good for a country that has towns close together or you've got extra days probably also good for weekenders but for most that have got a lot to prove I think hydrogen will be a better fit for Most like me in the sticks even it has drawbacks I know we have to look at better fuels but we should be able to make our own minds up hate being told what we won't that my rant over great to see Casey that you had a great inparshel look at it all .I'll stay with my xj and utes for know keep up the good work from Australia
its not copying the Hummer/Bronco.... its a larger renegade.... :/
Looks like a damn jeep renegade, no where near that look like a wrangler at all.
Love your videos and sorry not liking the look at all. It looks like a Bronco and as far as the distance ? I like my jeep wrangler
Notice how he stands to block where the mirrors should be? It looks as if once again they will be door mounted. Sigh.
That is a good thing! Body mounted mirrors are horrible, you break it on a tree and now you have to replace body panels which we all know will be outrageous in cost.
Jeep library kk 2024
A land cruiser has a very similar wheelbase and can tow more than a gladiator. Jeep has cooling issues with the Wrangler and Gladiator that impacts towing.
Hard to believe this is a replacement for the Wrangler. I would call this more of another off-road capable offering from Jeep to meet a specific genre of customer.
They clearly said! That they are not replacing the wrangler with the new Recon any time sooner!
This looks like more of a Renegade replacement if you ask me. I hope they do a Wrangler version of this. One major problem I see already would be what happens to the battery range when you put some larger tires on it? No one will keep those tires for off road/rock crawling if they can afford not to.
Replace wrangler? You have no idea what you are talking about. Jeep needs to go back to drawing board if they ever wish to have wrangler competing vehicle. This is a fail for me. There are so many things wrong with the deaign right off the bat.
Looks a little like the toaster jeep.
Lol
Jeep Wrangler replacement ??? I certainly hope not , I'm no luddite , just stating facts, the technology just isn't there yet , for any kind of practical off road travel . The infrastructure just isn't there yet . Good luck going overlanding in something that may get 4 or 600 kilometres in perfect weather conditions (what about winter or cold Fall-spring days when you have maybe 30% battery power if lucky) where are you going to find charging , quick charging, in the middle of the bush . The the batteries way a ton...the more power you want the heavier the vehicle has to be because of the batteries it's a case of diminishing returns...ie the heavier it is the more power that is needed which requires more batteries which is heavier......and so on and so on ??
And this Recon is nothing like a wrangler and will not be as capable , with IFS and IRS YYyyyikes no thanks.....In my opinion it kinda looks a bit like the new LandRover Defender = YYyyuk , awful just awful no character and no soul.
They are going to do to the Wrangler Jeep real Jeep, what LandRover did to the awesome old Defender...only worse terrible(at this time) electric tech.
No the automotive world is going to hell in a hand basket , making vehicles with 0 character and soul . ThankChrist I have a 2-Door Wrangler and a 4-Door wrangler Rubicon which I will never let go. They will be collectors vehicles, as has become the old Defenders and Series Rovers....vehicles with that certain special something....classic style , particularly when viewed through the lens of what garbage they are trying to shove down our throats , and try and convince us it is good for the environment when in truth EV's are dirtier in totality from manufacture to battery disposal and mining of lithium , as well as charging (coal fired generators). Smoke and mirrors....Smoke and mirrors, Snake oil salesmen.....this is what it all is, and people are swallowing it all, hook line and sinker. Wake up people!!! Cheers Wild Bill Overlanding the Arctic watershed of Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec...Trans Taiga baby wooo Whooo!! Never stop exploring.
I agree 100%.That thing looks awful.Just does not make sense.Maybe for the mall.
The batteries are EXTREMELY recyclable, and who the hell has coal power plants anymore? I've never even seen one before. Now polluting oil refineries, yes. I'd like to not have to breathe anywhere near one ever again.
Design wise I like it, hopefully with a solid roof too. But the EV only approach is a big let down, probably only planned as a mall crawler. But nice video anyway, really like this type of video
Sorry its a no go 👎
Were you can find a station to charge your batterie in the dessert 🤔
I stopped watching 2 mins in. It's a peice of crap.
1:40 into the video and I HATE it, looks like crap
Personally …NAHHH …ordinary looking…like other brands. Love my “real Jeep”.
There is nothing cool about it.
BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Electric vehicle are one big lie and we are all going pay for in more ways than you think.I love Jeep’s just not EVS of any brand.
@@mikehayward4423 Dude, I went to EJS in Moab, and went to the JEEP booth where they had a 4xE..they said it is all a sales gimmic. They are over weight with batteries so they do not have a range over 100 miles and takes 4-7 hours to charge. He also said buying one helps the ego, not the polanest...FROM A JEEP REP AT A TRADE SHOW...100% scam but the leftist will buy it.
@@mikehayward4423 No, EVs aren't a lie. They are in fact real. I've seen some.
looks generic, like they trying to copy bronco. looks like an oversized renegade
Its an ugly electric bloated Jeep Renegade..
Those red switches look just like the aux switches on the Wranglers, just moved to the console
Its a pass for me
100% hate it. I've had three different jeeps in my life I will never drive an electric jeep they will lose a customer sorry to be so harsh about it but that's the way it is.
Looks like a renegade and bronco smashed together.
Not only I don’t care for the look but I have zero interest in any electric vehicle.
