Chrysler just unvailed their new Electric line-up today and the Jeep Wrangler (4 door) was one of them...Here are a few pics - hope that everyone is able to view them..Everyone sound off on what you think about this. ..will take away from doing any major mods that's for sure...

Here is an article about it.

Qouted from the article. “We are also exploring four-wheel-drive, in-wheel electric motors to demonstrate the full reach of ENVI’s advanced electric-drive technologies,” said Rhodes.
The instant high torque of the electric-drive motor and the ability to precisely control each wheel independently results in off-road capability ideally suited for the Jeep brand, without compromising on-road driving capability.

And remember the lack of a transfer case shifter might just mean it's an electronic shift mechanism.

I'm kinda partial to my gas junkie. Don't think that I would get one. Instead of gas money, my electricity bill would go up. If I can't afford gas, I walk. If I can't afford electricity, I take cold showers. I like my showers.
