Hey
@Tonka Swoont congrats on getting your 4xe! Was the electric range the main selling feature for it over the Hornet?

No, I knew the Hornet R/T would come with an advertised 30 miles all electric, which beats out the Jeeps 25 miles. I'm lucky enough that I work close to a free charging station so 50% of my commute is always free! I find myself with around 3-6 miles of range left by the time I get to work (HVAC plays a big role in how much EV range I have left). Because I've been utilizing the EV range so much I've still got 3/4 of a tank left with 300 miles on the odometer.
I picked the Wrangler instead, mainly because of the fold flat seats. I know there is a small ledge from seats to trunk due to battery placement but that's nothing a home made 2x8 square can't fix. I do find myself sleeping in my vehicles (due to work) so I'll have to make the wood square to make up for that ledge difference and place a flat piece of wood over the seats and the trunk to make a flat surface for my air mattress. The Hornet as far as I can tell from all the videos and photos, do not have fold flat seats.
I am a member over there, they are all really good people and with plenty more experience than me so it's nice to read up on some questions I had. I'll stick around this forum as well, I'm really interested in seeing how the Hornet community mods their rides and I look forward to all the EV talk!
