The Magneto 2.0 is Jeep’s latest EV concept.
The Magneto 2.0’s motor operates at a lower RPM now, with higher peak amperage that it’s now capable of delivering for up to 10 seconds. It offers up to 850 pound-feet of torque — more than triple from last year — and 625 horsepower.Jeep Magneto 2.0 carries the same mutant villain nameplate from last year’s prototype and still has a six-speed manual transmission — rare for an EV but similar to what was. It also retains the “electrified” blue and white coloring, but the 2.
There are several other visual changes to the Magneto 2.0: the front grille is now painted black, there’s a custom bikini top with a sunroof, white stripes were added along the sides that transition into blue to the rear, and a subtle “2.0” badge was added to the Magneto branding. The Magneto 2.0 is also rocking 20-inch rims with 40-inch tires vs. last year’s 35-inch tires, and the vehicle has also been lifted three inches instead of two.
The 70 kWh battery system in the Magneto 2.0 is like the original: split up into four parts and distributed around the Wrangler body to give some even weight distribution. The Magneto 2.0 is about 3.5 times quicker than the original, though, with a 2-second 0-60 mph time. That makes the Magneto 2.
