One Of Our Sources Tells Us When We Can Expect The New 4xe...​

Like the rest of the Stellantis portfolio of brands, the Jeep® brand is committed to moving toward electrification. During its EV Day 2021 Presentation, Christian Meunier, Global President of Jeep Brand, stated that by 2025 each of the brand’s vehicles would offer an electrified 4xe model. The American adventure brand already offers plug-in hybrid (PHEV) capability on several of its models, the Renegade and Compass 4xe in Europe, the Grand Commander-e (front-wheel-drive only) in China, the Wrangler Unlimited 4xe globally, and the soon-to-be Grand Cherokee 4xe on the global stage as well.

I self-identify as a global change pragmatic, which means I support realistic, proven, modest, environmental efforts, but have reservations on the motives and effectiveness of things like wind mills, solar farms and electric vehicles. The rush to electric, I believe wide eyed, is over done, prematurely embraced and not pragmatic or even sound economically or environmentally.Too many negatives, too much unproven and not, yes, pragmatic. This fairy tale adventure should be studied, engineered carefully and slowly rolled out if there is a real market, which currently, there is not. That said, I believe the E system offered by Jeep in the Wrangler is the limit of what is pragmatic for the market and a wise, pragmatic executive would put the caution sign out to slow the unproven rush to a studious crawl. Those who run too fast will fall on their faces and their electric plans will never materialize as resistance hardens and the fairy tale becomes a horror story of yet another group think rush to nowhere.

Plugin vehicles are now part of my everyday life now that some unelected bureaucrats decided that our fleet should be clean. I have yet to see a Wrangler 4Xe, but now see and drive a lot of Pacifica and Mitsubishi PHEV models, as well as the occasional Ford Escape and Hyundai hybrids. I haven't driven any of the new Polestar fully battery electric sedans which now populate our prestige section along side the BMW mild hybrids. The customers who rent the BEVs are paying extra to be guinea pigs, but every vehicle renter is now paying extra for the upfront cost of EV purchases by the rental fleets. We haven't installed any high speed or even level two charging stations in any of our regional facilities here in the frozen North. The airport parking garages have some level two chargers, but those are inside pay-to-park facilities. Will Homeland Security allow high speed chargers inside enclosed airport parking facilities now that the Chevy Bolt has taken the fireball crown from the Ford Pinto?

Battery electric technology makes a lot of sense for city vehicles such as small cars and delivery trucks. I would buy a battery electric, but Fiat isn't sending the new 500e stateside and Mopar isn't selling upgrade kits for the older generation Fiat 500e, the bigots. Battery electric powertrains are being presented as a panacea and while the this technology makes sense for delivery trucks, it's not the best choice for other vehicles. The real scam isn't the vehicles themselves, it's the network scheme. Follow the money and we see a lot of corporate welfare as well as playing favorites.

I agree 100%.
