In this episode, Neil, Scott, and Jeff tackle many questions about EV and Hybrid vehicles. Jeep has been teasing the Recon all electric Jeep while we have been playing with the 4xe for couple years. Just before recording this episode 4xe went viral for an epic failure with an OTA Update. Tune in to learn about that as well as why 4xe are actually good. The guys break down charging systems and how you can own a 4xe without needing to pay an electrician to upgrade your home electric. Stay tuned for the weekend updates to find out what Scott recently acquired and try to guess along on the year it was made...
