I don’t see anything about it that would make it worth more than about $30K :shrug
For 30k, I'd be tempted. But it would just be a commuter. That's it. It would get me to work and back and be somewhat entertaining when the weather gets bad. That's about it.

Not a fan of that look. For me it'd need to be 1000HP to make up for the appearance.

I'd be more on board for a straight up Electric Wrangler, but given the terrible reliability of the Gladiator ESS and recent recall of the 4XE- I don't trust Jeep engineers to make functioning electrics

Good point! With how bad the batteries they use are, imagine their choice for an EV!
When they say 250 mile range, that's not the charge, it's the lifespan of the battery! :LOL:

Not enough range to be competitive in the market. Taking doors and roof off does not make up for that. Hope they keep production numbers low so they dont tank the company on this one. Id buy one if it was 800v and 350 miles of range.

Well, what gets me with all these EV's is the conditions that the people who mine these lithium materials etc. Exist in ..its the next thing to squalor and the conditions of the mines etc are horrendously unsafe and unhealthy.
What happened to Jeep saying that EV battery technology had to come way up before getting back into the EV thing 🤔.
Seems like a lot of double talk. EV mandates are done ,toast ..
IMHO a silly offering to Jeep enthusiast. Even if it has off-road type capabilities it won't be able to hang

And who ask for this? Hard pass. Thank you but i will stick with me Gladiators and wranglers with a sprinkle of a Cherokee if they ever go back to the roots. NO EVs and i would not trust any hybrid. E-torque on Ram, Wrangler and/or Gladiator then mybe.

Omg just put an old school non-turbo four banger in something like this and keep it simple with a low price.... you'll dominate the market.
