Jeep Goes Electric in a Big Way
The Jeep Recon is here – a purpose-built electric off-roader launching in April 2026 at a starting price of $65,000.
Built for the Trail, Not the Road
The Recon was engineered for serious off-road use: 35-inch tires, locking differentials, and Jeep’s Trail Rated 4×4 system.
The Range Question Answered
EPA-estimated 250 miles on a charge. Jeep says real-world off-road range is lower – plan for 180-200 miles on rough terrain.
How It Compares to the Wrangler
The Recon is slightly larger, fully electric, and more technologically advanced. Think Wrangler spirit, EV engineering.
Charging on the Trail
DC fast charging gets you 80% in 22 minutes. Jeep is partnering with ChargePoint for trail-adjacent charging network expansion.
$65,000: Is It Worth It?
Compared to a loaded Wrangler Rubicon 4xe ($62k), the Recon’s fully electric drivetrain and capability upgrades justify the price.
