There are no details available about the specifications of the Jeep Wrangler Electric concept but a cross sectional photo of the SUV shows that there is a single electric motor with a 2-speed transfer case and about three to four battery modules. The teaser image reveals that the overall look and design of the iconic SUV is likely to stay the same but the front end may see a different design along with new lighting elements to differentiate the Wrangler EV from its ICE counterparts. Nonetheless, knowing Jeep, the Wrangler EV is likely to have similar, if not same, off-road ability as the standard Wrangler range.
