I Drive The First Ever Electric Jeep Wrangler 4xe Off-Road - It's Weird And Wonderful!

[@sackman1886]

I think 21 miles in EV mode is fairly impressive when you consider someone buying this as their daily driver and weekend toy probably commutes under 20 miles each way to and from work during the week. I would save a fortune on gas switching to this (not including the additional electricity cost at the house, but still).

[@foellerd]

The loudest and quietest jeep of all time, comming out at the same time, its a very interesting decision. Haha! You have v8 on one hand, and flippin plug in hybrid EV on the other hand. CRAZY!

[@danieljoyner1884]

You guys gotta buy one of these. Great series around off-roading and electric cars. It would also be super cool to see what it would be like doing upgrades (maybe Mopar) and see what a lifted 4xe is like

They should get one, as Roman seems like a real skeptic and I don’t think understands the vehicle. If they lived with the 4xe and a level 2 charger (which they already have) for a month or two, I bet his perspective would change.

[@volvo09]

I would love an electric off roader. (where you can chose to use the battery when and where you want). When you are out in the wilderness "silence is golden". Creeping along with just the noise of the tires would scare away fewer animals, and you feel more connected to nature.

[@StarGateSG7]

When you have some cash to spare, put a 4 inch lift on it and get some 35 inch or even 37 inch Nitto Grappler Tires (the EXO Grappler OR the Ridge Grappler) for your offroading needs. If your skid plates ever get bent or "ripped", there are other aftermarket boron steel or even TITANIUM skid plates you can put underneath to get even better bottom coverage. In terms of extra gear, ALWAYS buy TWO extra 20 Gallon Jerry Cans you fix to the back of the Jeep for more fuel range AND I would suggest buying FOUR Go-Pro cameras with at least two 4 Gigabyte SSD external hard disk drives so you can RECORD 4K resolution 60 fps video from the front, back and sides of all your off-road adventures. The Go-Pro camera setup is ALSO used for grabbing that MILLION DOLLAR SET OF CRYSTAL CLEAR PHOTOS of a family of Sasquatches (i.e. Bigfoot) looking with envy at your cool new Jeep! oh! I would also put a heavy duty WINCH and Bush Bars on the front of the Jeep in case you get stuck in a deep ditch or rut! v

[@stkiswr]

While I'm not able to move from my 18 sport at the moment, once this technology matures more and the range is inevitably increased, I will be strongly considering one. My hopes is they are able to reach a minimum of 100 miles all electric and keep the hybrid configuration.

[@Cody-gr2kc]

Yeah, exactly my thoughts seem a little early to be calling it an electric jeep, it is more of an upgraded etorque system.

[@stkiswr]

@@Cody-gr2kc it's a,pretty intensely integrated system. It doesn't have a torque converter which is bananas. There are some really cool videos about the break down but wild none the less. I love my jeep but if jeep would take the cargo area and maybe eat into the floor back there as well, load it up with batteries and get that range up some more. That immediate heat due to the heater running off of electricity instead of the circulated coolant will be amazing in the winter. Pretty amazing time to be alive for technology.

[@StarGateSG7]

Once manufacturers switch over to Aluminum-Air batteries that are safer and much higher power (i.e. 4x up to 8x more charge than Li-Ion) the range problems will go away. A higher end Aluminum-Air battery taking up the entire front end where the gas engine goes now and some space within a "skateboard" frame-rail assembly of a Jeep Rubicon level Wrangler, should allow it to go AT LEAST 1600 km (1000 miles!). In about 5-to-7 years when newer formulations of the Aluminum-Air batteries start being tested in public, I expect the range to get into the 2500 km (1500 miles!) range on one charge! v

[@davidcarrico3385]

See my responses to some of the other posts. It’s not going to be Prius level PHEV efficient, that is just impossible for a rolling brick. But I am getting a lot better gas mileage than the standard ICE Wrangler for short to mid range driving. My 60 mile commute I average 26 to 27 mpg, much higher when just tooling around town. Much less of a benefit at 100 miles or more between charges, but also great not having range anxiety as can always extend range by just adding gas.

The water wasn’t deep enough. The rocks and crawling was nice. But how about driving in desert sands?? Most Jeep’s get stuck unless they have the lift and way larger tires they can run at lower pressure on bead lock wheels?? Now let’s talk aftermarket mods. My guess is this jeep was made for city people who want the look with some options. If it was me I’ll take a regular gas or diesel wrangler and mod it for I need. My final thoughts are: this won’t sell well if you can’t mod it for REAL off-road driving. On that note I look forward to seeing you guys test it in the real world.

[@estebanamador7601]

The advantage of an Hybrid in off road? Fuel economy. The fuel economy of a 100% powered ICE off roader, with this kind of power and torque, and in this kind of environment, is not really good, so I see this as a really good option to lower fuel costs. Well, and on road it gives really good numbers too. Oh, by the way, Roman : ouch!!! That hurts!!

@Ziplokk and? You have to watch a Comanche here in my country carrying two tons, that's weight, 700 is nothing vs the advantages that this technology gives. What I'm worried is about reliability, maybe there will be some problems that they will have to debug.

@Ziplokk for some components (tires and suspension) but electric reduces wear for others (regenerative braking greatly reduces wear on brakes) and engine (doesn’t have to rev as high due to electric boost and doesn’t have to run as often - seen some worried about transition to cold engine but software manages that so it’s not abrupt and warm up allowed).

I get even better mileage outside of my commute because most of my driving outside of weekend trips is within 30 miles of home. I also have 375hp and 470lb of torque at my disposal (even when the battery is ‘depleted’ because it keeps 15% in reserve and does regenerative braking and charge from the engine when it’s running to feed the battery).

Short answer is yes, that is the least efficient way to run. For most cases it’s better to run it at its default which is hybrid, but if you do run it in eSave, the default of ‘battery save’ is more efficient than ‘battery charge’.

I can't see a big advantage of going out and buying one just for a few miles of electric

[@JCintheBCC]

I have a 16 mile commute, and there is a level 2 charger at my office. This would let me do all my mountain biking, skiing, and camping while also eliminating 150 miles of gas consumption per week for my daily commute. That's 100% worth it. Different people have different needs.

Great to have y’all in Texas. Come back and see us for the Texas Spur Jeep Jamboree.

I am curious how much battery it uses as torque eats AMPS Streetspeed wants to know if the EPA signed off on that water

[@BreckoniousMaximus]

Let the electric wars begin! The more competition, the faster we get an all electric vehicle that goes 1000 miles on a single charge and can recharge in 10 minutes.

I wonder if downhill assist can be used as a regen mode to put some energy back in the battery?

[@davidcarrico3385]

The 4xe does use regenerative braking to feed the battery. There is also a user selectable button for max regen that maximizes the effect and provides for 1 pedal driving to a certain extent. That feature is getting a lot of positive reviews. I really like it but wish the button was on the steering wheel rather than over by the radio.

Assuming it has a smaller gas tank does it actually have worse range than a gas Jeep or will the electric side of it help carry it farther?

[@doublebackagain4311]

~17.2 gallon tank. Looking forward to mileage review!

Very cool but I'll wait untill it's fully electric. P.s Before people say anything our power in New Zealand is 100% renewable at chargers and our distances are small..... but amazing

The underlying 4xe hybrid technology is proven for many years now. It's a great technology bridge between the power of the 392 [identical torque! and about 100 horses more than the Pentastar V6] and the "Magneto" concept. Let's face it, an all electric Jeep has to have charging stations on the trails, just like Tesla created its charging network to assure its customers to buy their cars for long distance travel. Also the 4xe is going to be way more efficient on a daily basis if you're commute is 20-30 miles because most of those miles will be electric only. It's possible to drive 80-90% of your miles in electric. A super efficient vehicle with great capabilities. Few compromises and lots of benefits.
