Jeep’s first all-electric vehicle will launch in the first half of 2023. Stellantis confirmed the news during its most recent financial results, announcing that it will launch 21 low-emission vehicles in the next two years as part of a plan to invest about US$ 35.5 billion in electrified vehicles by 2025.
The car manufacturer did not state which Jeep model will be the first offered with an electric powertrain, but it did recently unveil an electric Wrangler-based concept, meaning the off-roader is one possibility. Jeep, of course, already sells the Wrangler in hybrid 4xe guise and in Europe and China, offers the Compass and Renegade with plug-in hybrid options. Similarly, the Commander is sold as a PHEV in China and Jeep is gearing up to launch a plug-in hybrid Grand Cherokee later this year, The Detroit News reports.
Elsewhere within the Stellantis brand, it is understood that Dodge will launch a plug-in hybrid in 2022, although specifics about it are unclear. Details regarding the electrification plans for Chrysler are also vague, but speaking during the earnings call, Stellantis chief executive Carlos Tavares said the company has big plans for it.
