The Jeep® brand has moved forward towards offering an all-electric portfolio of its SUVs in the European countries of Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, and Nordic region with its newest hybrid versions of the Compass and Renegade by the end of the model year.

The new Renegade and Compass e-Hybrid models offer a new alternative in the two-wheel-drive segment. Customers can keep their driving habits intact and enjoy an authentic hybrid driving experience, with full-electric propulsion available at start-up when traveling at low speeds, cruising, and in parking maneuvers.

This is bully good news for Europe, but Americans in general do not share the same European interest in all electric vehicles. I actually believe the Chrysler brands decision comes with some risk, but if they can transform the brand as a direct competitor for Tesla in a more affordable, stylish and reliable product, than I think many customers will follow. I will not, regrettably, be one of them. I see the current hybrid set up now in the Renegade and Compass about as “green” as I am going to get and I bet many Americans feel the same way. This rush to electric may be a rush to conformity, but like many of our politicians, the auto management elite may have turned a deaf ear to the masses. Going all in on electric is a risky decision and I’d keep those internal combustion engines around for a couple of decades, even in Europe.
