Yes, generating electricity creates pollution. However, as it’s been studied, modeled, and debated, EVs are still better, both from a greenhouse gas (climate change) and particulate matter (human health) perspective. The latter is especially important as it’s worse on our lungs the closer the exhaust pipe or…

Grandpa Willys approves:

“We don’t comment on future vehicles.” That being said, any word on a PHEV to go up against the Wrangler 4xe for that sweet, sweet instant torque?

This. Great catch on the recent California plate. 

Flashback to the late 1990s when we went through the Golden Gate Bridge toll booth about the same time as one of these...

Sorry Marge, but the mob has spoken.

I hear you. The difference between a CJ and a JL is huge. I’m fine with Jeep adding all the other SUVs, but keep the Wrangler “primitive...”

Die Duke Boys sind schon im Haus.

This. It’s along the lines of “there is no demand for EVs...” yet the company making that statement doesn’t offer (m)any.

I agree. Here’s what Jeep says on their website:

Curious what the specs will be when the plug-in hybrid version comes out, both mpg and electric range. Jeep says on its website that it will 4xe all the things by 2025.

Well that’s definitely a danger to the manifold:

You’re spot on here.

“Forward visibility — thanks to a high seating position, low hood, and reasonably-small pillars — is refreshingly good, especially for a modern car.”

Or the Wilderness Bro.

So much this.

You’re spot on.

“The low beltline, longer hood, bigger windows and pulled back A-pillar really help not only lower the vehicle, but improve driver visibility...”

One feature? How about up to six shift levers on a 1946-1964 Willys Jeep? 

Why off-road in an EV? For me, it’s that sweet instant electric torque. And as much as I love the exhaust note of a V8, the near-silence of an EV off-road is a good option too (it also lets you hear how the tires are working).
