Global warming and pollution are two issues that the world is becoming increasingly aware of today. This is making a lot of people understand how important it is to find a way to lower carbon dioxide emissions.
A very promising way to lessen air pollution is to use electric vehicles (EVs). They don't generate noise pollution or release harmful gasses into the air.
EVs are no longer exclusive and only accessible to the wealthy. They are now more widely available than you might imagine.
In fact, Jeep, which is one of the most popular car brands in the world, is planning to release four new EVs by 2025.
Let's learn more about it.
Jeep's Electrification Plans
Jeep was well-known for producing robust SUVs. But for the new generation of drivers, the car manufacturer plans to modernize the brand. Jeep fans will soon be able to drive the same rugged SUVs, the only difference is that it will not have any emissions.
Jeep's plans for electrification were addressed in detail during the company's announcement on Thursday.
In an effort to "become the leading electrified SUV brand in the world," Jeep announced that it would introduce four new EV models in the US and Europe by 2025, according to Engadget.
The popular SUV manufacturer added that it plans to sell 100% all-electric cars in Europe by 2030. Meanwhile, the company intends for half of its U.S. sale to be fully-electrified by the same period.
The company's focus prior to the announcement on Thursday was mostly on plug-in hybrid EVs, as per Electrek.
