'We need to grab [opportunities] or somebody else will,' Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa said in a recent interview. So what about those EV plans, then?
EV and off-roading enthusiasts—this humble writer included—got a nice surprise when Jeep announced its first-ever all-electric off-roader in the shape of the upcoming Recon back in 2022. Scheduled to go on sale this year, the Recon can be considered the battery-powered alternative to the iconic Wrangler. Just like its stablemate, the EV will come with removable doors for that open-air wheeling sensation that’s synonymous with the Jeep name.
The two mid-size electric SUVs will have to compete in what is arguably one of the most competitive segments in the U.S., one that’s currently dominated by the Tesla Model Y. However, unlike Tesla, which only makes battery-powered cars, Jeep is using the STLA large platform developed by parent company Stellantis. This architecture, while designed to natively accommodate an electric powertrain, can also be home to a combustion-powered setup, including a hybrid.
