Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited EV

• Allows customers to roam the planet and take care of it at the same time

• 40 miles of all-electric, zero gasoline consumption operation and a 400-mile total driving range

The Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited EV is a Range-extended Electric Vehicle that provides a glimpse into the future of a “Go Anywhere, Do Anything” vehicle with renowned Jeep Wrangler capability.

“One of our goals at ENVI is to develop electric-drive solutions for every segment and for every customer,” said Lou Rhodes, President – ENVI, and Vice President, Advance Vehicle Engineering, Chrysler LLC. “An electric-drive Jeep Wrangler brings ultimate fuel efficiency and ultra-clean transportation to a market segment whose consumers want to explore the environment to the fullest.”

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited EV prototype is a two-wheel drive Wrangler. However, Chrysler’s ENVI organization is exploring four-wheel-drive, in-wheel electric motors to demonstrate the full reach of the Company’s advanced electric-drive technologies. When this technology is developed by ENVI, the instant high torque of the electric-drive motor and the ability to precisely control each wheel independently will result in off-road capability ideally suited for the Jeep brand, without compromising on-road capability.

The Wrangler Unlimited EV also uses an ENVI Range-extended Electric Vehicle powertrain, consisting of an electric motor, an advanced lithium-ion battery system, and a small gasoline engine with an integrated electric generator to produce additional energy to power the electric-drive system when needed. The electric motor produces 200 kW (268 horsepower) and 400 N·m (295 lb.-ft.) of torque. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited EV has a range of 400 miles, including 40 miles of zero fuel-consumption, zero-emissions, all-electric operation.

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited EV features a new ENVI Green Pearl exterior color, integrating full body-side “EV” graphics.

Ottimo, vedo che alla fine le hanno messe in produzione tutte. Lo schema tecnico devo dedurre che è "alla volt" cioè con motore a gasolio che ricarica lelettrico? Peccato per la poca autonomia in Zev...

[Dodicicilindri]

40 miglia non sono affatto poche, è più o meno quanto la Volt, che però è molto più leggera e aerodinamica.

Hai ragione, mi sono confuso! Pensavo che la volt arrivasse a 100 e qualcosa Km, ma ne fa pure meno, 60! Complimenti a chrysler! Peccato che non abbiano un modello portabandiera su cui montare questa nuova tecnologia e si debbano accontentare della gamma attuale...

Però un Wrangler 2WD
