My husband and I have been talking about what we’ll replace our Yukon with when she falls apart. We were originally talking about replacing her with a Yukon Hybrid but we both are not fans of the body shape on the new Yukon so we started talking about getting a Wrangler Unlimited. Most recently I’ve been looking at the Wrangler Unlimited EV. A Wrangler that gets 400 miles to 8 gallons, after owning numerous gas guzzling Wranglers over the years I never thought that would be possible. I hope the EV makes it to the production line but given Chrysler’s current financial status there are many that doubt it will. Chrysler’s position is that it will come out in 2010.

I imagine the EV will come with a pretty hefty price tag and that alone would probably make me want to keep it mostly on road. I don’t think I would do any serious off roading with it but I think it would be good to replace our larger family car with. Maybe when my inefficient Yukon falls apart I can turn it in and get my paltry voucher.
