With the introduction of the Jeep Wrangler e-Hybrid, many are wondering if that means a fully-electric Jeep model is on the horizon. While not much is yet officially known about what we can expect from Jeep as the world goes electric, their siblings at Dodge have committed to an electrified future, and some teasing has been done about the potential for an electric Jeep by 2023.
What We Know So Far
Stellantis, the parent company of the Jeep Brand, has already stated that a fully electrified Jeep model is coming to the lineup for 2023. In an announcement last summer, most likely coming in the form of a compact SUV akin to the current Jeep Renegade. While it marks a stark departure from the norm for a brand that has been all about tradition and performance, a Jeep EV will surely make a big impact amongst adventure lovers with a keen eye on their environmental footprint. Current concept renderings of the 2023 Jeep EV show a sleek design, with softer corners and edges than you might typically expect. Still, it retains the classic boxy shape of a Jeep Brand SUV, and the performance is sure to match.
Why Choose an Electric Jeep?
Electric power has several advantages over combustion when it comes to what you can do both on-road and off. The instant torque of electric motors means towing is a breeze, and climbing over those rocky trails will get easier as well. A more fine sense of throttle control combined with the ability to instantly shift torque to different wheels will make an EV Jeep a formidable off-roader, and that should excite even the most traditional off-road enthusiast.
