Sorry to hijack this thread But all this EV stuff just makes me wonder like all this climate change crap ..... The technology is not there yet maybe for the city slicker school runs via Mc Donald's Big W and home YES a good idea for Big City Pollution !
But their limitation is Distance.. " So you have your Woke EV4X4 and pack up the family and dog to go to a remote beach or bush campsite How are you going to charge? take a Battery Trailer with windmills and solar panels no room for the camper stuff?
I could go on and on ..............................
Flogg44 I wouldn't het rid of your 2017 Diesel keep it make it your own Jeeps like that and in the apocalypse a Diesel will run on anything
DISCLAMER!
I tend to rant a bit when drinking HomeBrew
I eat meat and would love to live closer to all the fast food adds I see on TV ...
Sorry to Hijack the thread ......
I will quietly go back to the XJ section

Rant justified. You expose real life examples of the context many of us have expressed in broader terms.

I don't think the thread has necessarily been hijcked either, discussions on the topic of new models will inevitably and increasingly involve views about EV. Any concerns we have around EV should be allowed exposure in at least equal quantity as any advocacy for it. That's called balance. How many of us are sick to the back teeth of the woke and the pollies always assuming such righteousness?

I heard a rumour that a new model is being explored - the electric diesel. Apparently a small diesel generator in the rear of the wagon will power up and recharge the electric batteries. Win / Win for everybody !

So who is planning on buying the 2022 JGC? I know I’m tempted. Mine is 6 years old and now I’m towing more, I need something with a bit more grunt than our pentastar.

Do I wait for good runout deals or go for the new model with all it’s new tech and goodliness?

Decisions. Decisions.

As soon as the 2 row hybrid is announced I'll be putting my money down. Unfortunately I think it will be well in to next year.

I was sitting by the Cooper the other day, nearest power pole connected to grid a couple of hundred Kms away thinking be a bugger if your batteries needed a top up...

I'm still on the fence too, can't decide whether to grab a SRT as they run out the current model. Or sit on the fence and keep praying for a for the hemi option to return on the new model overland.

Hemi overland would be awesome. I’d be sold.
