Jeep has said publicly on more than once occasion lately that it plans to introduce an affordable electric SUV, with the goal of pricing it at or under $25,000 USD. Yesterday the automaker confirmed it’s going to bring back the Renegade name for that. The Renegade EV will be a de facto new generation of the SUV model, which was retired at the end of 2023.

And as you'd expect these days, the manufacturer figures it’s wise not to rule out gas-engine and/or hybrid powertrains. Also on stage during the presentation was Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares, who said the company will have to produce lithium-iron-phosphate batteries to make that $25,000 price possible in the U.S. At present, the company cannot produce the cheaper LFP batteries in the U.S., which could represent an obstacle to obtaining federal tax credits.
