Description: In a stark contrast from the 800hp Hennessey Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 that was revealed just a few days ago, a new report is claiming that Jeep will be unveiling an all-EV version of the Jeep Grand Ch...Add Comments16
Landon CombassDec 24, 2011 Okay I'm all about EV cars because small EV cars have a purpose. This is a SUV that gets no kind of gas mileage to begin with. It's made to ride the mountains. This defeats the purpose.
Teddy MacDonellDec 24, 2011 I like everything Fiats done to chrysler/jeep/dodge besides the dart, although it might still sell well. but I'm glad there's an ev that will at least look good. this will probably be my favorite one
Luis A VillalpandoDec 23, 2011 Another ev This is truly disappointing...
Shane JansenDec 23, 2011 Well fiat now makes the major decisions now don't they? Decide the partnerships and Approve or decline products
Clint EdwardsDec 23, 2011 Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?
Kevin RehbockDec 23, 2011 Shane, you can't blame Fiat if they're not actually producing it. It's Amp Electric who's making it. Fiat is only supplying them with OEM Grand Cherokees through Chrysler LLC's partnership with Amp.
Zachary MaurerDec 23, 2011 Who cares blame it on fiat, blame everything on fiat, they bought out a true amarican car company, and italinised it not to be racist
Shane JansenDec 23, 2011 @Kevin I never said anything about the wrangler. It's the production idea of an EV Cherokee that I was blaming on fiat. Get YOUR fact straight about what I'm talking about.
Kevin RehbockDec 23, 2011 Of course they won't sell as much as their gas powered counterparts. I can see these Jeeps only being targeted for fleet customers only and not for those looking for a new daily driver.
Patrick SchalkDec 23, 2011 Yeah but it's one thing to build ONE, it's another to make them into production. These won't sell for sh*t. Not with a 100 mile driving range.
Kevin RehbockDec 23, 2011 This Grand Cherokee was in R&D way before Fiat took over. They even made a Wrangler EV before that. Know your facts.
Shane JansenDec 23, 2011 @Pattick I bet this is entirely Fiats fault, this is retarded. A compass would make more sense, a Cherokee is jus disgusting.
Zachary MaurerDec 23, 2011 Crap, I'm going to the Detroit auto show, and it looks like I will see a pimped out sonic, the new Nissan mallfinder, an electric keep and some fiats, oh and the new dodge fart, great
Patrick SchalkDec 23, 2011 This better not be Fiats doing. I will lose it.
Paul LissonaDec 23, 2011 Really stupid to make pure electric geez.
Stephen CobbsDec 23, 2011 Jeep and EV shouldnt be in the same sentence.
Patrick SchalkDec 23, 2011 Haha you're gonna need a little more monies with that trade in my friend. I think the SRT8 GCs are around 50k+
Vincent ButlerDec 23, 2011 Lol patrick. I'm trading my 08 TL'S for 2012 New Cherokee SRT8 thinking about the mineral gray metallic color
Patrick SchalkDec 23, 2011 I love these. Wish I could get a new one.
Description: The latter of which has already been "electrified" by AMP Electric Vehicles, so making the necessary changes wasn't all that difficult. And according to a report from the New York Times...Add Comments1

Maci KartchnerMay 05, 2012 Does that mean that it's a V8?
Shane JansenDec 23, 2011 And the odds of Jeep/Fiat doing absolutely anything along those lines is......
Kevin RehbockDec 23, 2011 Or you can retrofit an EV with a double-layered ultracapacitor grid hooked up to a lithium titanate battery so you have an unholy amount of torque at your disposal and never have to worry about range.
Shane JansenDec 23, 2011 Josh you can bring gas cans with you. With an electric car you need gas cans AND a whole generator.... Or a million extension cords and a lot of walking energy....
Zachary MaurerDec 23, 2011 Ok here's the problem, idk If any of u live in the wonderful state of Michigan (sarcasm) but we get our roads fixed from gas taxes, if we get all electric cars... You don't have a road to drive them on =__=
Patrick SchalkDec 23, 2011 Yeah but Josh, you can put gas in Jerry cans and take them with you.
KyleMDec 23, 2011 most people who buy these vehicles never take em off road. Its a fashion statement
Joshua Grant RobinsonDec 23, 2011 I don't think it's any different than running out of gas on a trail. If you know the vehicles range that generally doesn't happen. Also, they will get better with time.
