Jeep Electrified: The Future Is Now

What do marriage, off-road adventures, and electric power have in common? The Jeep brand. Jeep celebrated EV Day 2021 with a jaw-dropping video that outlines the automaker’s plans to usher the Jeep lineup into a future with zero emissions and 100 percent freedom. As your electric car dealer, we’re thrilled to share Jeep’s electric future with you and the wonderful, wild world of possibility that you’ll find in the legendary Jeep brand.

The Foundation and Framework

Jeep’s zero-emission future has been 80 years in the making. The Jeep brand was born out of necessity when it answered the need of American troops at the dawn of World War II by designing a light reconnaissance vehicle. Since then, Jeep has built a solid foundation by offering legendary capability and unrestricted freedom in the pursuit of adventure both on and off the road. Freedom, adventure, authenticity, and passion are Jeep’s core values and are the framework for what the future holds not only for the Jeep brand but for the Jeep community as well.

A Modern Meet-Cute, Electrified

Jeep’s EV Day 2021 video sets the stage for a modern meet-cute as two Jeep owners meet under a solar charging station on the trail. The significance of this isn’t lost on off-road enthusiasts who have expressed growing concerns over how an electric Jeep will perform on the trail and miles away from any available charging stations. Jeep’s answer is to deliver the most capable and most sustainable vehicles in the world through its 4xe platform along with solar charging stations to support the community where it matters most – on the trail, exactly where you’d expect to find the Jeep community.

The Jeep family shares a lust for adventure, and that’s what Jeep builds on in the video as the meet-cute leads to five years down the road when the man proposes to the woman in a darkened pool, far off the beaten path and miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Will Jeep’s electric future be powerful enough to orchestrate a meet-cute that leads to marriage and years of off-road adventures? It’s entirely possible.

Jeep lays the groundwork for its 4xe fleet as not only the epitome of adventure but of romance, innovation, and capability. The 4xe will deliver on-demand torque for maximum acceleration, traction, and 4WD performance while offering more space for people and gear without the bulkiness of the traditional engine. This means the possibilities for adventures are endless. What’s even better is that the Jeep 4xe models will make those adventures even more enjoyable by setting a new benchmark for a fully immersive driving experience. Gone are the days of traveling down the trail to the hum of the engine. Instead, the 4xe’s quiet powertrain will unite you with nature so that you can be fully present in the moment. Cue the crickets and shooting stars to set the stage for romance in the great outdoors!

Biometrics, Drones, and Autonomous Driving, Oh My!

When you’re on the trail, you’re carrying enough gear that it seems silly to be carrying around a set of car keys. Jeep promises an all-electric lineup equipped with biometric recognition that acts similar to face recognition on your smartphone. A quick glance at your Jeep and the biometric technology will know it’s you and can start the engine or lock and unlock the doors.

Just when you think Jeep’s zero-emission future can’t get any better, Jeep ups the ante once again and remedies the nightmare every Jeep owner has – running out of gas on the trail. Soon enough, spare fuel tanks in the back of your rig will be a thing of the past thanks to Jeep’s peer-to-peer charging capability. This means that your 4xe can share its battery power with another electric Jeep, and that means less downtime on the trail and more time for adventures.

With peer-to-peer charging mitigating the risk of running out of battery in the middle of nowhere, Jeep also answers several other issues in its future electric lineup with drone pairing, autonomous driving, and remote vehicle tracking. Just imagine it’s the middle of the night, and you’re anxious to take a night drive down the trail to bathe yourself in the wilderness. Sure, you can use the Jeep’s headlights, but you can also pair your drone with the Jeep and use it to light the way down the trail.

The most remarkable plan Jeep has for its electric lineup is autonomous driving. No, Jeep isn’t talking about advanced cruise control or features like Super Cruise that allow you to briefly take your hands off the wheel. Jeep is setting the stage for a self-driving Jeep that can operate on the trail on its own. What does this look like?

Imagine it’s 2030, and you and a friend are heading out for a strenuous hike up the area’s tallest mountain. Instead of both of you driving and having one person leave their vehicle at the end of the hike, you can enjoy the entire adventure from the comfort of your Jeep 4xe. Once you arrive at the base of the trail, you can program the Jeep to meet you at the end of your journey through its autonomous off-road driving feature. As you navigate your hike, you can remotely track the Jeep’s position and know exactly when it arrives at its destination.

Jeep’s plans for autonomous driving will revolutionize how people spend their time outdoors. The added convenience of only needing to take one vehicle means more time spent with your friends and those you love and less time apart and driving from one destination to another. Take, for instance, a weekend kayaking trip on a river where there aren’t any local outfitters to shuttle you and your kayaks back and forth to your vehicle. It’s no longer a problem with the Jeep 4xe since you can start your journey downriver and let the Jeep make its way to a designated location where it’ll be waiting for your arrival.

What’s better is that the Jeep’s autonomous driving ability doesn’t mean you have to be out of the vehicle. The EV Day 2021 video even shows our meet-cute couple snuggling in the Jeep as the 4xe drives itself down the trail. This is the Jeep of the future.

The Freedom to Explore

Jeep’s electric future looks bright as the automaker promises a future with zero emissions and the freedom to explore wherever your heart desires. This future has been 80 years in the making as Jeep planted its roots firmly on American soil at the dawn of World War II. Since then, it’s built its legacy on delivering legendary 4WD systems, exceptional capability, and cutting-edge technology in vehicle after vehicle. This is the framework of the Jeep community, and it sets the stage for Jeep’s electrified future.

Jeep stays true to its roots by promising an all-electric lineup that will deliver more capability and power than ever before. But we’d be remiss to ignore the fact that Jeep’s electric future also prioritizes you and every other individual who makes up the Jeep community. By delivering innovative technology like biometric recognition, peer-to-peer charging, solar panel charging stations on the trail, and autonomous driving, Jeep is eliminating your downtime on the trail and away from what you love doing. This technology will transform how we spend time with one another by allowing Jeep owners to share power, adventure, and their passion for exploration. This is the heart of Jeep’s electric future.
