Mopar is bringing an EV-swapped late-model Jeep CJ to the 2022 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show that starts today. On the outside, it looks like any other Jeep CJ7 with some modern accessories and a cool livery, but what powers it is quite interesting because it seems to preview a future electric crate motor kit that Mopar might be looking to offer at some point.
This EV restomod project ditches the factory six-cylinder engine in favor of a 200 kW (268 horsepower) electric motor that runs on a scalable 400-volt architecture. The battery pack is comprised of 24 lithium-ion modules, totaling 50 kWh of capacity all enclosed in a custom-built shell placed in the rear of the cabin, behind the seats.
