Did you hear the news? Jeep plans to reintroduce the Renegade nameplate in 2027, but this time as an electric vehicle (EV)
The upcoming Renegade EV will have its own unique identity, setting it apart from its gas-powered predecessor.
During a presentation to investors, Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa confirmed the return.
Electric Focus: The Renegade has confirmed that only the electric version is currently available.
Still, they have yet to rule out the possibility of gas and hybrid options in the future.
The anticipated price for the upcoming Renegade is below $25,000, possibly excluding tax credits.
Battery Production Challenges: During a recent discussion, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares highlighted the importance of-
utilizing lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries to achieve the affordable price of $25,000.
Jeep and Stellantis do not manufacture LFP batteries in the U.S., which could challenge federal tax credits.
