The automotive industry is rapidly shifting towards electric vehicles as companies like Jeep, Kia, and Hyundai make strides towards greener transportation options. Jeep recently revealed plans for extended-range Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer 4xe versions, showcasing their commitment to offering a variety of electrified powertrain options. With plans for mild hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and EVs in the works, Jeep executives are focusing on finding the best solutions for different driving scenarios. Meanwhile, Stellantis, Jeep’s parent company, announced that a $25,000 Jeep EV is in the works for the U.S. market, further expanding the brand’s electric vehicle offerings.
Kia and Hyundai are also making waves in the EV market, with U.S.-made electric vehicles set to hit dealerships soon. Kia’s EV9 production has already started in the U.S., while Hyundai’s first U.S.-made EV, the Ioniq 5, has been confirmed. However, questions remain about whether these vehicles will be eligible for the full $7,500 EV tax credit, potentially influencing consumer decisions.
