Last year, Jeep took the Easter Jeep Safari crowd by surprise with the unveiling of the all-electric Wrangler Magneto Concept.
The off-road concept demonstrated that a battery-electric propulsion system would be true to the Wrangler's heritage of off-road capability. Now, Jeep has taken things up a notch with the Wrangler Magneto 2.0 Concept, which it describes as a terrain-dominating off-roader designed to take driver and passengers far off the beaten path.
Compared to its predecessor, the Magneto 2.0 is much more powerful, with its front-mounted custom-built axial flux electric motor generating 625 horsepower and up to 850 lb-ft (1,151 Nm) of peak torque to the wheels—more than triple the torque output of last year's concept.
