It looks like the Jeep Wrangler is going electric … again.
As a follow-up to the battery-powered Wrangler Magneto concept revealed this spring, Stellantis' Mopar parts division is teasing the upcoming reveal of what appears to be an electric Wrangler Rubicon.
A sketch showing part of the vehicle was one of several released ahead of November's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, where automakers display concept vehicles and new after-sale parts.

A charging port on the front cowl can be seen that is marked with an E shaped like a plug, just as the Magneto's was. The one on the production plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe is blank, so having the letter there is an indication that the vehicle is all-electric, as is the circuit board-style pattern on the front fender vent.
Jeep has promised to have a fully-electric version of each of its models on sale by 2025.
Another of the images depicts what looks like a Ram 1500 TRX high performance truck wearing the blue trim used on Stellantis' plug-in hybrid models, like the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe and Chrysler Pacifica.

The 4xe powertrain shared by the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler is rated at 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, which puts it on par with Ram's 5.7-liter V8 and would lend itself to a performance truck.
Mopar also included a drawing of a classic Jeep Gladiator or M715 military truck with a Jeep Performance Parts watermark on it that could mean they've restored an old truck with new gear or converted a new Jeep Gladiator to make it look old.
