Lets not get into a JK vs. TJ fight again.
But I think that an EV Jeep is a great idea. To have that much torque instantaneously is awesome. Plus the fact that there is an electric motor on each wheel, there is no need for lockers, no diffs to catch on rocks, and no need to worry about driveshaft angles. But I do see some cons as well. There is no longer a low range and you can't regear when you get larger tires. But then again with it being an electric motor, there might not be a need.
