Would it? Seems like a lot of Wrangler owners are either people who strap extra gas canisters to their vehicle for extra range in adventure scenarios OR people that at least want to think they have the option to do so (not meant as an insult).

Most wranglers don't see proper off-roading, none of the crossovers. But even though, you have the whole front trunk where you can add a range extender (similar to BMW i3). You can strap extra canisters - range is not an issue.
What you've got is a superior off-roading machine. With 4 electric motors you can apply torque with extreme precision. Increasing ground clearance is not an issue since you don't need a drive shaft and diffs.
