This is the image of the electric Jeep Wrangler that set fans on fire and challenged the electric Hummer.

Jeep aims to please its fans and launches a teaser of the new Jeep Wrangler BEV concept, an electric 4x4 that can compete with the Hummer electric vehicle.

If you're a true fan, you'll remember it had a big show last year with radical throwback graphics packages and flashy color schemes, along with some new off-road accessories. This year will be kind of completely new conceptIt's about the concept Jeep Wrangler BEV, an SUV that aims to join the 4×4 EV race.

The fact that Jeep is introducing an all-electric Wrangler 4x4 is great news. Jeeps have always been cool XNUMXxXNUMXs that didn't even care about doors and roofs, let alone some fancy new engine.

The announcement of the Jeep Wrangler 4xe has galvanized EV fans by the fact that Jeep knew what hybrids were, and now that Jeep has announced that it will be making an all-electric Wrangler, EV fans are thrilled. Unlike the Wrangler 4xe, the BEV got rid of the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine to make room for more batteries.

What will drive the Jeep Wrangler BEV?

Jeep hasn't released details on this yet, but the concept's cutaway diagram is said to show a traditional-looking gearbox and transfer case, suggesting the electric motor will send power forward and backward depending on the engine. do you need it from?

Generally, AWD or 4×4 EV layouts tend to have one motor to drive each set of wheels, as will the upcoming Hummer, though putting the electric motor directly on the Jeep's axle doesn't make much sense. It would be heavy and would not withstand the suspension.

What else can we know about the Jeep BEV?

Jeep has only released one exterior image so far. The image seems to be sticking out the tongue right at the . The seemingly solid front grille features a bright streak of light that looks like a direct reference to the Hummer EV teaser. It's unclear if this will be a real lighting feature or if it's just some computer wizardry to play around with the Hummer.

The grille appears to be missing any holes, which makes sense since an EV doesn't need a lot of airflow. Another noteworthy detail is that the BEV concept is based on the long-wheelbase four-door version of the Wrangler. This is not difficult, since an electric car will need more space to accommodate batteries.

How will the Jeep BEV compare to the Hummer?

At the moment it is difficult to say whether they are comparable. It's a convertible monster off-road racing, $100,000 luxury convertible. Hummer does too much, even if he seems stupid in his wealth. People who buy a Hummer won't use it the way Jeep fans use their 4xXNUMXs. Hummer is too expensive and luxurious to compete with Jeep.
