They claim they’ve made it throught the rubicon on all electric. I need to see video to believe that. I’d be impressed if they went over every obstacle the hard way

Installing chargers along trails seems to defeat the purpose of being out in nature if you have constant reminders of the things you came out to nature to get away from. I just hope they are in areas where people who don't need to use them aren't exposed to them.

Yea I was thinking the same thing. Just what you want to see out in the peaceful outdoors is a bunch of Jeep advertisement and chargers lol

Vandal's will steal the panels a week later ?

I thought I heard that the charge time is pretty long for the new jeep. Guess you can camp out around the charging stations ?

Good. Now Ford can build on this idea and include solar panels in some of their tops instead of relying on charging stations. Who knows, maybe they worked with yeti and it's already an accessory.

Bahahah! I think they said 2 hours on the solar stations?

Typical FCA. All they do is advertise. Their vehicles suck but they make up for it with an unreal level of marketing.

Is jeep making theses solar stations cause they will probably stop working a few weeks later or somehow defy physics and death wobble right in place.

It takes a good 4 days to charge a Tesla on regular current, 24 hours with 220v and 45 min on a supercharger

Not sure how much a little solar panel will help

Way longer than that..they definitely don't mean a full charge

Hopefully they’ll install 5G repeaters too so you can livestream your exploits.

Maybe some virtual reality stations as well so you can live vicariously through someone else’s exploits. Especially if you didn’t want to subject your nice new electric Jeep to some of the nastier sections.

This is getting oxymoronic...

Fiat just found a way to put billboards out there and call them charging stations. Nobody is going to charge, it's just advertising
