The Jeep Recon: Built for Electric Miles and Muddy Smiles
The next wave of family EVs might be sleek, silent, and loaded with screens, but how many can handle Sussex County backroads, a Morristown snowstorm, and Saturday soccer chaos without breaking a sweat? That’s where the upcoming Jeep Recon rolls in. It didn’t make Nielsen Editorial’s list of top electric vehicles for families in NJ — but it probably should have.
This isn’t your average plug-in grocery-getter. The Recon is built for families who expect more than a pretty dashboard and a charge port. We’re talking removable doors, trail-rated toughness, and a cargo hold big enough for firewood from Route 10, tailgating gear for MetLife, or the entire contents of your local rec league’s equipment bag. Early specs promise 30+ cubic feet of space, and it’s all wrapped in that iconic Jeep capability (just with zero tailpipe emissions).
And while it’s designed for dirt, mud, and maybe a little mischief, the Recon still plays nice with daily life. Whether you’re navigating Main Street in Madison or outrunning a nor’easter to school pickup, its quiet power, flexible interior, and projected all-electric range make it the rare EV that feels just as at home in the driveway as it does on the trail.
Coming in spring 2026, don’t be surprised if the Recon rewrites the rules on what a family-friendly EV can actually do.
