I'm not disagreeing with you- I'd much rather see a BEV + extender like the upcoming Scout, Wagoneer S and Ramcharger than a sole BEV off roader. I do not see the appeal of a pure BEV in an off-road vehicle. Last thing you want to do is be 50 miles from civilization crawling around and your battery runs out. At least with gas or diesel you can carry extra or get some dropped to you.

But I also don't think Jeep is angling this towards its enthusiast/off road Wrangler and/or Gladiator buyers either.

They're going after the "lifestyle" vehicle market where 99% of the time it will be on the road and used for commuting and Costco runs. That being said the IFS makes a lot more sense than running the Dana E-Beam SFA- it should have better road manners.
ya know....... one could slide a cargo carrier into the hitch and strap on a 10 kw generator, fuel cans, extension cords.......!
