FCA did just partner with an eVTOL company, so flying Jeeps may not be too far off. ?I'm still waiting for a Jetsons type vehicle but probably not going to happen in my lifetime.
Don't worry. TFL Truck & Offroad will do a great validation with Jeep, up the IKE I-70 Gauntlet !!!Still waiting to see a tow test with the Jeep PHEV. (NOT a 'tow rating')
Too bad we couldn't get a 2.2L diesel hybrid aka: mini train!
PS: Bet the payload takes a hit just like the current diesel package -
I was going online almost every day to check when I can order the 4xE to replace my JKU with +205k miles on it. And of course I missed the day Jeep finally added to their site. ??‍The 4xe is already online in us for build and presume ordering.
Built one last night.
There are three models of wranglers
A good UL-rated, made-in-the-USA 240V "Level 2" home charging station is $400 or $500. It can use an existing dryer circuit or welding circuit in your garage, or you or an electrician can add one to your panel. Costs there range widely.Average cost of purchasing & installing charging station?
1. Regarding the tax credit, this post over on the Wrangler forum explains it well. Basically the $7500 is deducted from your taxes. Depending on your withholdings, this impacts how much you pay or get back as refund.I want one because my drive is also about 7mi for work and this is my DD. I also have free charging stations at work that I can use that offsets my electrical costs (personally). I hope they come out with a Sport S version of this for us seeing as we don't have a Sahara, I don't want to be stuck with only an Overland or Rubi. I love my Sport S and all I want to really add to it to make closer to the Rubi is some front swaybar quick discos. I can also do bumpers/fenders/armor/small lift if I think I need those and still save a lot of money w/o getting a Rubi.
As someone who never owes anything in taxes and always gets back (about $1100 this yr) would the EV/hybrid tax credit really do anything for me? Also, does leasing give that tax credit to the lesser/manufacturer?
Would remote starting the 4xe result in it heating/cooling in EV mode if there's energy, or would that auto start the ICE I wonder.
Last thing, should you charge a PHEV every day or only when the battery is essentially drained?
Thanks for the info man, appreciate it.1. Regarding the tax credit, this post over on the Wrangler forum explains it well. Basically the $7500 is deducted from your taxes. Depending on your withholdings, this impacts how much you pay or get back as refund.
2. One of the awesome things about EVs is that you can precondition them from the grid if they are plugged in. You can set your departure time and desired temp such that the interior warms up to the right temp, and defrosts/defogs the windows in the winter or kicks on the AC and cools down the interior in the summer. It's pretty sweet. You can get into a toasty warm rig on a cold winter morning or when you leave the office for the day during the winter. Likewise in summer.
3. Most car companies leave a buffer in the battery (and reflected on the gauges) such that "100% charge" of the battery as well as on the battery gauge on the dash is actually less than than maximum capacity of the battery, leaving a buffer for longer life. This usable battery capacity is what's used for the EPA calcs as well as daily driving. This is to make it easy on the customer. You simply plug it in and forget about it.
Telsa is different. The buffer that Tesla leaves in their batteries is much smaller, meaning "100%" indicated is much closer to the actual max battery capacity. This is why Tesla recommends that owners only charge to 85% for daily driving, and instead push the "max charge" or whatever it's called the night before a long road trip.
