Chrysler LLC has added two models to its portfolio of electric vehicles, the Jeep Wrangler and Patriot. This portfolio has been growing at a fast pace. In the Patriot, Chrysler has effectively combined the small petrol engine with the electric vehicle technology ENVI. This combination provides the vehicle with an overall range of 400 miles and an electric only range of 40 miles.

The range of forty miles comes with zero fuel consumption and zero emissions. According to Chrysler LLC’s Advance Vehicle Engineering vice president and ENVI president, Lou Rhodes, Jeep Patriot EV joins their already extended ENVI portfolio of vehicles driven on electricity. He said that these achievements of Chrysler Engineering was a standing proof of what is possible through the Chrysler developed technology.

Integration of electric technology into the most compact SUV of the industry goes on to highlight the social responsibility shown by Chrysler, said Rhodes. Prototype of the Wrangler EV reveals that it is a two wheel drive and a model that is range extended. Efforts are however on by Chrysler to develop electric motors in-wheel and a four wheel drive to showcase their electric-drive technological skills and capabilities. The overall range and drive of the Wrangler EV is similar to that of the Patriot EV. Previously, Jeeps, 4 x 4s, and SUVs were considered the antithesis of environmentally friendly vehicles, but this new development clearly changes that perception. Now electric Jeeps will clearly not be rally racing off road any time soon, or be found in games like Jeep Thrills, but the advancement is still a welcome one. Lou Rhodes says in a market where consumers are looking to explore completely the environmental potential, Jeep Wrangler ideally brings to them an electric drive that is clean and fuel efficient.
