Jeep built a prototype electric Wrangler with over 600 horsepower and massive tires. And it's awesome.
Few cars live in the past like the Jeep Wrangler, which exists to carry on the spirit of the original military Jeep that debuted 81 years ago. So you know Jeep is serious about electrification when it rolls out a Wrangler EV concept.
Design If Jeep decides to sell an electric Wrangler to customers, it won’t look like this. The Magneto 2.0 is a Frankenstein’s monster on four wheels, with parts that were never made to fit together somehow working in unison. The hood is carbon fiber as well, and Jeep gave the Magneto 2.0 a simple bikini top instead of the typical folding roof. The result looks positively cartoonish, but that was probably the idea.
“This thing crawls amazingly slow, but with full torque,” Allen said, referring to an important characteristic of any off-road vehicle. “I’m always after finesse when we’re off-roading, not just throwing more throttle at it.” Driving impressions We took the Magneto 2.0 for a short drive up and down some rock shelves in the desert just outside Moab. We were amazed by the Jeep’s ability to handle these obstacles without breaking a sweat, the smoothness of its power delivery, and the novelty of a manual transmission in an EV.
What it means for Jeep’s electric future While Jeep was eager to show off the Magneto 2.0 concept and does have production EVs in development, that doesn’t mean you’ll see an all-electric Wrangler in production anytime soon. If you do, it won’t look like the concept.
