Plug-in Electric Jeep Wrangler will debut in 2020

In today’s Jeep livestream, Jeep announced a plug-in electric Jeep Wrangler will join the lineup in 2020. As you may have seen on one of our previous blog posts, an electric Jeep Wrangler recently completed the Rubicon trail with generator fill-ups at night of course. My guess is they think battery technology and range will be at a level in 2020 that the average person will feel comfortable going off-road, and getting stuck, to drive an electric Jeep. That or they have segmented their audience to know there are a lot of people who just commute in a Jeep and like the way it looks. Either way I love this idea. It would be great to have the low-end torque of an electric motor and not gas out mother nature as we crawl across her.
