Jeep Grand Cherokee EV: Basic Features And Expected Price
By kenny on January 15, 2012 in Electric vans
The 1st thing that amazes about this SUV is its price – $ 57 400. Jeep Grand Cherokee EV is an electric model that is a rather commercially designed version of a gasoline model from Amp Vehicles.
The drivetrain and battery pack, presented in the converted model, resemble those used in the electric conversion of Mercedes-Benz ML. Besides, both models share absolutely the same platform.
While Amp hasn’t offered such model before, its performance must be identical to its German twin’s range. It means that Cherokee EV will equate 110 miles at the highway from the 37.4 kilowatt lithium battery pack.
Until December 2011 many private customers were ready to spend practically the same sum of money on Tesla Model S, as this very model offers a longer range and higher specifications. In December the company announced Jeep Grand Cherokee EV, and the priorities have changed greatly.
Fleet customers are likely to use SUV than a rather luxury model of sedan. This fact may bring Amp to a noticeable niche of the auto market. The first production of the new Amp SUV model is promised to come into the market by the end of 2012. As for now the brand is signing up new dealerships to become official vendors.
