The electric Jeep Magneto on its way to Moab
Fox News
Jeep is unveiling a new electric concept truck named Magneto at the upcoming Moab Easter Jeep Safari, where it will also debut a charging station designed for remote areas.
The brand has released a teaser image of a Wrangler wearing the name it shares with The X-Men's archenemy, which it recently trademarked and will almost certainly be appearing on the all-electric Wrangler that it previously announced would be debuting in Utah. Details have not been revealed, but previous renderings suggest it is basically a current Wrangler with its engine replaced by an electric motor that sends power to the wheels through a conventional transmission and 4x4 system. One thing it likely won't have is an actual magneto, which is a type of generator more commonly used to run the spark plugs on gas-powered lawnmowers.More Related News
