Jeep's First Electric Off-Roader Hits the Trails

Adventure just got cleaner. Jeep's new Recon EV proves you don't have to give up rugged capability to drive electric.

The 2026 Jeep Recon is now available for order, marking a milestone as the first fully electric SUV designed specifically for off-road trails. It keeps the spirit of the iconic Wrangler alive with removable doors and rear glass, features no other electric vehicle currently offers.

Under the hood, the Recon packs serious capability with dual motors delivering 650 horsepower. That power helps it sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, proving electric vehicles can deliver thrilling performance on any terrain.

The Moab edition comes ready for serious adventures with 33-inch tires, 9.1 inches of ground clearance, and a special Rock mode for technical trails. Jeep's Selec-Terrain system gives drivers five different modes to match whatever landscape they're tackling, from sand dunes to snowy mountain passes.

Inside, drivers get over 26 inches of screen space for navigation and vehicle controls. The charging system can add 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes, making pit stops quick during long weekend adventures.

The Bright Side

This launch signals a shift in how we think about electric vehicles. For years, EVs were seen as city cars for commuters, but the Recon shows electric power can handle the toughest terrain nature throws at it.

Every trail ride in an electric SUV means cleaner air in the wilderness areas we love exploring. National parks and remote destinations will benefit from quieter, emission-free vehicles accessing their roads and trails.

Jeep plans to bring the Recon to the UK, Europe, and other global markets after the North American launch. More options for electric adventure vehicles mean more people can enjoy the outdoors without the emissions.

The future of outdoor exploration just got a whole lot quieter and cleaner.
