The good folks over at Jeep are looking to get into the world of EVs. It’s only a matter of time. Today the iconic automaker is back in the news with a look at something for the future, the Jeep Wrangler Magneto Concept EV. This stunning new machine is based on the two-door 2020 Wrangler Rubicon. Power comes from a custom axial flux electric motor which is paired to a six-speed manual transmission. The goal was to recreate the driving experience of the 3.6L V6 without the emissions.
Four battery packs are placed throughout for weight distribution, boasting a combined power of 70 kW/h. They are joined by two 12-volt batteries that supply power to the other systems. The Magneto concept is outfitted with a high-voltage heater, while all of the electrical components sit in waterproof enclosures. The Wrangler has also been equipped with a JPP 2-inch lift kit, 17-inch Lights Out black metallic wheels and 35-inch mud-terrain tires.
Other details include steel bumpers with a Warn winch. Check out this impressive new concept in the images and head over to Jeep to find out more about the Jeep Wrangler Magneto right now. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more concepts, classics, and customs coming soon.
