Nielsen Editorial's feature on top electric vehicles for families in NJ hit a lot of high notes. But if your version of "family-friendly" includes muddy boots, camp chairs, and a few snow-covered trailheads, the new Jeep Recon should've been on that list. Due in spring 2026, this fully electric beast is bringing serious backroad brawn to the world of electric SUVs.
The Recon is Jeep's answer to "Can an EV still be a Jeep?" - and based on what we've seen, the answer is a resounding "yes." Expected to deliver 30+ cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row (not to mention removable doors, rugged storage, and weather-ready capability), this SUV is tailor-made for Sussex County winters, Worthington State Forest weekends, and Route 15 chaos on a Tuesday morning.
Don't let the off-road cred fool you. This EV has suburban smarts, too. Whether you're loading up soccer gear in Sparta, dodging potholes near Rockaway, or trying to park on a snowy incline during school pickup, the Recon promises to bring electric power without losing the practicality or attitude that Jersey drivers love.
Want a sneak peek at the most adventurous family EV no one saw coming? Stop by Dover Dodge Chrysler Jeep and get the scoop on the all-electric Jeep Recon - before your neighbor hears about it first.
