One year ago, I experienced the Jeep Magneto concept car in Moab, Utah. Amazing as it was weird, the Magneto was our first glance at what an all-electric Wrangler may look like when it hits the market. But with rudimentary battery tech and limited power output, Jeep declared that it was far from completion, even as a concept.
I am ecstatic to be back among the stunning Moab red rocks with a much more advanced (and exciting) EV: the Jeep Wrangler Magneto 2.0. With loads more power and off-road upgrades galore, the Magneto 2.0 brings us closer to the ultimate EV Wrangler we’re all hoping to see on these very trails in the future.
I took the updated Magneto concept on a short drive and talked with the head of Jeep brand for North America, Jim Morrison, about the company’s EV efforts. To see the full interview and driving footage, check out the video embedded above.
