Larry, you’ve been to SEMA several times.  What did you think of it this year?

All Electric Wrangler

Jeep Wrangler Goes Electric on 2028

We start with the Jeep Wrangler. Built at the Stellantis factory in Toledo, Ohio, the current JL generation will stay the course until 2028. An upgrade to the Wrangler 4xe hybrid is listed for 2025, but things get interesting for the next-generation off-roader. The UAW deal shows production for the J70 Wrangler starting in 2028 with two electric powertrains. One will be battery electric, with the other using a combustion engine as a range-extender. There’s no mention of a pure internal combustion model or a plug-in hybrid, confirming previous reports of the next Wrangler being all-electric.
