CNBC This Morning: Electric/Gas Wrangler in 2010
This may be old news but I'm watching CNBC and they just had a segment on Chrysler's new electric vehicles coming out by 2010. They had a white Wrangler Unlimited with a small 1 liter engine coupled with electric motors on each wheel. They claimed ~400 miles per fill up/charge but I'm not sure if they were talking about the Chrysler van or the Wrangler.

400 miles per fill??
what size tank did it have. if its a 1 liter engine, maybe a 10 gallon tank?
that would be 40 miles to the gallon??
more then double what i am getting now, but the jeep wont be the same, i cant see those little electric motors powering 37" tires over rocks and stuff.
is the end coming????

Electric Jeep Wrangler for 2010
Hey guys just found this. A whole new world of mods is about to hit us!!!!! I put this here since really it's not a rumor it was just announced today by Chrysler... It is mentioned in the 3rd paragraph from the bottom. Anyone have any more details on this???

1st 40 miles are electric, then the gas kicks in.
I like this idea for the commute length I have. I worry about the trade off though.
I wonder if they'll make a EV/CRD option.

How would you regear to compensate for a lift and tires? This would probably have to be designed to not get any mods like this since it probably wouldn't have a transfer case and just use the electric for power.
