Jeep shows working prototype EV... With manual transmission?

[Hazzzard122]

What images of what screens where?

In the photo deck in that link, picture 27:

why they would have photos of a hybrid I don’t know unless they calling this hybrid as in electric but we didn’t change anything else

Oh, well, that's obvious: The screen says it doesn't have an engine. It's probably just the same UI software from their existing model.

I could never get past about photo twelve, the ads always choked.

Agreed, likely the screen is from their hybrid now.

It’s being reported that battery size for Magneto is 70KW with the battery being 4 small modules that are separated

Yeah, this thing sees to be a hacked together prototype that is never going to see the light of day. It’s clearly not a well designed or thought out vehicle that is meant to be sold or supported over time. This is a big part of what I don’t like about the old guard auto companies.

I agree, at this point it's just a copy & paste. Hybrids are, IMHO, just a bridge on the road to BEVs. It's what companies do while they're trying to figure out a BEV.

Couldn't that describe most Jeeps they sell now, tho?

[Ehninger1212]

At least they actually made something.

 

[Cyberman]

Meh.

 

[Sgt. Glenn]

Oh, I doubt it'll ever see production.

-Crissa

At least night in its current form. It has not DC fast charging and the batteries are air cooled.

 

[Sgt. Glenn]

I’ll be in Moab next week just to get a look at this. I am hoping to talk to someone from Jeep and ask them a bunch of questions.

Please report back!

 

[Sgt. Glenn]

Here it is. Jeep’s concept EV Wrangler.

 

[Sgt. Glenn]

Please take a few minutes and send Jeep your opinion about the Magneto and fully electric off-road vehicles.

 

[Rthardison]

The whose?

If they don't change the body, why would it look any different from the outside?

-Crissa

It is not a real electric.
