Imagine running low on power in the middle of nowhere…

it's not aero so that'll kill its highway range

ok lang siguro.
many owners probably drive their babies on flat ncr roads, straying not too far from starbucks, heh heh.
but yes, i'll also wait for it to make its actual appearance and get reviewed by the reviewers.

Yes, but despite that, some owners succumb to "upgraditis" doc (and bog down their vehicles even further).

Their vehicle, their rules (wala tayo paki dun) but the problem is, some of those modifications (a.k.a. "upgrades") that go against what the engineers designed (and verified by testing) can be downright dangerous. (stability/handling penalties, etc.)

On the site of one shop, they often show profiles of their client's vehicles with the caption:

"Thank you for trusting us with your car!"

Possibly talaga to especially if may naiwang electrical system na naka on when parked.
At least sa ICE, pa kargahan or battery replacement lang.
Sa EV kaya, sana meron ganito na madali lang ikabit battery system niya when needed.
Parang spare tire kumbaga.
And that will solve the range anxiety.

Actually, nothing new about an EV Jimny though.

Back in 2021, a British guy converted his 3rd gen (JB43) to electric. (Sarili lang niyang project!)

Details on his conversion project (7 videos) are on his YT channel if anyone's interested:

also check out the Jeep Wrangler Magneto. it's just a concept car. they just took out the engine tranny fuel tank and mufflers and put batteries in those places. this is one way to do it (1 motor driving the original 4x4 drivetrain)

another way is a clean sheet design like Rivian. 4 motors, one for each wheel so no differential bulges.

at this point electric isn't rocket science

limiting factor is battery capacity so they make them super aero so you don't waste energy on the highway. so for sure the jimny EV is gonna waste a lot of watt-hours just pushing air away, a fact that probably isn't very obvious to many, the vast majority of your energy use on the highway is air resistance. just feel your tires they're not super hot so you're not wasting a lot of energy through rolling resistance

i'm probably the biggest fan of electric propulsion in this forum. however i prefer my jimny just the way it is, gasoline

so far ok pa A/C ng jimny ko. stock pa everything. added insulation sa cold line before, but was advised by my aircon tech to remove it since no noticeable gain naman daw.

Question...would anyone know if this the right plugNplay Valeo Montero fan for the stock JB43 condenser fan motor? Thanks ahead!
