Want to be on the right side of the climate problem, but can’t stand the treehugger vibe of the Prius, or the coke-sized Smart Cars? Your options currently are quite limited. Traditional SUVs like the Tahoe and Ford Escape are going hybrid but their gas mileage is still terrible. Now that Chrysler is jumping on the EV bandwagon however, the posterchild for SUVs, the Jeep Wrangler, will soon be going EV. Expected in in late 2010, the Jeep EV will let you have your SUV cake and your green credentials too.

No word yet on much more the EV version of the tough 4×4 will cost over the standard fuel guzzler, but given the Jeep’s low starting price, it shouldn’t be too bad.
