Emissions
Tailpipe CO2: the 2024 Wrangler 2dr 4WD (4-cyl 2.0 L, Automatic 8-spd) puts out 416 grams per mile; across the 10 tested versions the figure runs from 230 to 633.

Electric range and charging
Cost per 100 miles uses electricity at $0.15 per kWh (as of 2026-11-14, U.S. Department of Energy / EPA). Plug-in hybrid range counts gasoline too.
| Version | Range mi | Charge at 240 V | MPGe | kWh per 100 mi | Cost per 100 mi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 Wrangler 4dr 4xePlug-in hybrid | 370 | 2.4 h | 49 | 68 | $10.20 |
2024 Wrangler 4dr 4xe: on gasoline alone the agency's file gives $3,100 a year (15,000 miles); on electricity, 68 kWh per 100 miles at $0.15 per kWh comes to about $1,530 a year if all 15,000 miles were driven that way. The real cost depends on how often the car is charged, so no single yearly cost is shown for it.
