Jeep is preparing to launch several new fully electric vehicles in the US within the next few years, including the Recon 4xe and Wagoneer S. The EV concepts were recently shown at a dealer’s conference for the first time in person. Check out the images below.
New images reveal Jeep’s first EV, the Recon Moab 4xe
Under the Stellantis umbrella of brands with Dodge and Ram Trucks, Jeep revealed it would aim for 50% of sales in the US to be all-electric by 2030 as part of the company’s Dare Forward 2030 plan.
Jeep says it plans to become the leader in zero-emission SUVs by carrying the four virtues it values most to the EV era, including freedom, adventure, authenticity, and passion.
The rugged SUV maker is transitioning its iconic 4×4 technology for an electric future with 4xe. Jeep says its 4xe electric technology is more powerful than its predecessor, with superior on-demand torque for instant acceleration and rock/hill climbing.
The first Jeep set to be launched in North America is the Recon 4xe, which is inspired by its legendary Wrangler name. Jeep (Stellantis) held an event at the MGM in Las Vegas, where it showed off the EV concepts in person. Here are the first images of the Recon EV concept posted on Jeep Recon Forum.
Jeep says its Recon 4xe model will have everything the 4×4 lineup offers, only with zero emissions and more power and capability than ever. The concept features aggressive off-road tires, traction management, tow hooks, and removable doors/windows for an open-air feel.
The Recon Moab is expected to be the top trim option based on the concepts badge that you can see in the images above.
Head of Jeep North America says the “all-new, all-electric Jeep Recon has the capability to cross the mighty Rubicon Trail, one of the most challenging off-road trails in the U.S., and reach the end of the trail with enough range to drive back to town and recharge.”
Production of the Recon electric vehicle is expected to start in 2024, with the first models available by the following year.
The next EV model due will be the premium Wagoneer S, an electric upgrade to its upscale SUV. The Wagoneer S will come fully loaded, according to the automaker, with 400 hp and up to 400 miles of range on a single charge.
Jeep claims the Grand Wagoneer S is designed to go from New York City to Toronto with an estimated 500-mile range.
Reservations will begin later this year, with the electric Wagoneer also going into production in 2024.

Hyundai is about to launch a new electric SUV in China. With its big debut coming up, Hyundai just dropped a sneak peek, and it looks like it could be the IONIQ 4. Check it out for yourself in the video below.
Is Hyundai teasing the IONIQ 4?
We caught our first glimpse of the new EV model last month after Beijing Hyundai released a few official “spy” photos.
Despite the camouflage, you can see a few design elements, like a light bar across the front, slim LED headlights, and a closed-off grille. At first, it almost looks like a smaller version of the IONIQ 9, Hyundai’s first three-row electric SUV, but with a much sportier, shaped profile.
Beijing Hyundai released a new teaser for the upcoming electric SUV this week. The video shows “a wave of high-end operations” as the vehicle dances across the snow.
The video highlights features like real-time torque control, high-speed cornering, and the SUV’s impressive body control while driving around cones.
Hyundai’s new electric SUV is being called “OE” internally, according to The Korean Car Blog, suggesting it could be an IONIQ model.
All other Hyundai IONIQ EV models were also codenamed with an “E” internally, which is raising speculation that this could be the IONIQ 4.
Like most global OEMs, Hyundai is fighting to compete in an intense Chinese EV market, which is dominated by domestic automakers like BYD.
Hyundai opened its first overseas R&D center last year in China to spearhead its comeback. It will work with local suppliers and tech companies to develop EVs designed for Chinese buyers. The new electric SUV is expected to launch in China later this year, followed by three new energy vehicles, including EVs and EREVs.
Beijing Hyundai will release more information on April 16, with the electric SUV set to “challenge the limit of driving performance.”
What do you think of Hyundai’s new electric SUV? Is this the IONIQ 4? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Charge point provider char.gy has secured a £130 million contract to install 6,000 curbside EV chargers for Brighton and Hove City Council (BHCC) – the UK’s largest installation of its kind.
London-based char.gy has also been awarded a 15-year contract to operate and maintain the charging network.
Installing Level 2 chargers curbside, where most drivers in the UK park, will enable more people to take advantage of cheaper charging rates while juicing up their EVs overnight. (charg.gy’s pay as you go night tariff, between midnight and 7 am, is £0.39/kWh, compared to its £0.59/kWh day tariff.)
John Lewis, chief executive of char.gy, said the project is “a huge moment for the UK and its EV ambitions. This partnership alone will empower thousands of residents to confidently make the switch to electric vehicles, knowing they have easy access to chargers.”
Brighton and Hove City Council is among the first to tap into the government’s Local EV Infrastructure (LEVI) Fund, designed to help English local authorities roll out charging solutions for residents without off-street parking. Future of Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood said making EV charging as accessible as possible is “crucial to making the switch to electric a success.”
The UK now has over 75,000 public EV chargers, according to the Department for Transport—and it looks like the country’s on pace to hit its 2030 target. Back in December, the National Audit Office said the rollout is “on track” to meet the DfT’s estimate that at least 300,000 chargers will be needed by the end of the decade.
