Jeep’s first real off-road EV is finally here. The 2026 Jeep Recon EV is now on sale, starting at $67,000, but its driving range comes up a bit short of expectations. Jeep Recon EV prices and range estimates revealed After Stellantis announced a major “reset” of its electrification plan earlier this year, many were worried that the Jeep Recon would be scrapped along with it. Despite skipping the 2026 model year for the Wagoneer S, its sole EV sold in the US, Jeep’s CEO Bob Broderdorf said the brand remained committed to launching the off-road SUV by the end of the year. As promised, the 2026 Jeep Recon EV is now available to order, starting at $66,995. The only trim currently available is the range-topping Moab edition.

The 2026 Jeep Recon EV Moab now has an official EPA-estimated range of 222 miles, coming up short of Stellantis’ forecasts. 2026 Jeep Recon electric SUV (Source: Stellantis) Despite this, Jeep claims the Recon is the “first and only fully electric Trail Rated SUV” you can get your hands on. With Jeep’s new design, including the illuminated seven-slot grille and U-shaped daytime running lights, the Recon could be mistaken for a Ford Bronco. 2026 Jeep Recon EV Moab (Source: Stellantis) Built on the STLA Large platform with a dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) setup, Jeep’s off-road SUV delivers 650 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque, which Stellantis said enables it to hit 0 to 60 mph in as little as 3.6 seconds.

Inside, the electric SUV features over 26″ of screen space, including a 12.3″ driver cluster and a 14.5″ infotainment screen. Regarding charging, the Recon can recharge from 5% to 80% in about 28 minutes, or 100 miles in roughly 10 minutes. Jeep is introducing the Recon EV in the US and Canada first, but plans to launch the off-road electric SUV in the UK, Europe, and other global markets. Interested in seeing one in person?
