Jeep Announces Plans For New All-Electric SUVs

Jeep revealed plans for an all-electric lineup that’s slated to launch in 2025. The new lineup is a big step toward achieving its goal to have half of its US sales and all of its European sales be all-electric by 2030.

The American SUV brand is planning four new electric vehicles including a Wrangler-inspired off-road SUV, the Recon. A “brother” to the Wrangler, the Recon will come with removable doors and a cloth sunroof that allows almost the entire roof to be opened up. It’s planned to go into production in 2024, along with the Wagoneer S.

The Wagoneer S is the larger, 600-horsepower SUV. According to the automaker, it will be able to travel 400 miles on a single charge and go from nil to 60 miles an hour in 3.5 seconds. Full details for the EVs will be announced sometime next year.

The automaker’s executives said that the planned all-electric models will be additions to the brand’s lineup, and will not be replacements for current models like the flagship Wrangler off-road SUV.

“The Wrangler stays the Wrangler,” said Jeep CEO Christian Meunier. He called it “the icon of the brand.”

Jeep, which is now part of Stellantis NV (NYSE: STLA), along with Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, Citroën, and a few others, offers two plug-in hybrid models in its lineup in the US, the Wrangler 4xe and the Grand Cherokee 4xe. The Wrangler 4xe is currently the best-selling plug-in hybrid in the country. The company intends to also dominate the all-electric category.

“Our goal is very clear: Become the global leader in SUV electrification,” Jeep CEO Christian Meunier said during a media briefing. The company plans to achieve that goal by 2025.

Also announced was a compact electric SUV, the Avenger, which is smaller than the Jeep Renegade. The Avenger will be officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October.

To support their aggressive electrification plans, the automaker is also planning to install 80 solar-powered EV charges on off-road trains in the US. Four have been installed so far, but the company plans to speed up the installations.
