The Chinese actually are working on this. The construction equipment company I used to work for (XCMG) has a factory that builds semi trucks; they have full-electric trucks in China and NZ in service with customers that pull onto a gantry-like platform, it removes the old battery, drops a new...
Well, 2722 has changed to a new rig. This past weekend I traded the Patriot in for a 2020 Cherokee Trailhawk. After a few short trips I quickly discovered that I needed more room and cargo capacity, and I sadly couldn't afford to keep the Patriot.
Interested to see how this performs. Have my eye on it, if it's a good solid product I could see coughing up the dough for it. Something like this would work well as opposed to say an iPad on a RAM mount (Patriot has limited front room and I almost always have a passenger with me. The RAM mount...
Welcome! I've always been a sucker for the less-popular models myself. Something about having a great vehicle that for whatever reason not many others liked makes me feel special, like i'm part of a secret club or something :grinning:
No real updates on the Patriot, just been working. Did have to put a new battery in it the other day though. Went with an Interstate MT7 AGM battery. 715CCA vs the stock 525CCA.

After today, my next mod is definitely going to be rock sliders. Slammed the side and bottom of my Jeep against more than one big rock

It was washed out a lot from the recent rainfall we've had, so...
