In a recent update, the United Auto Workers (UAW) president announced a tentative labor agreement between Jeep, its parent company Stellantis, and the UAW union. The agreement not only addresses labor terms but also reveals Stellantis’ ambitious EV production roadmap, including plans for a fully electric Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee.
According to the report, the Jeep Wrangler EV is expected to debut in 2028, while the Grand Cherokee EV will arrive a year earlier, in 2027. Production for the Wrangler EV will take place at the Toledo Assembly Complex, a site long associated with the iconic off-roader. Meanwhile, the Grand Cherokee EV will be built at the Detroit Assembly Complex, continuing the brand’s U.S. manufacturing tradition.
In addition to these two models, Stellantis plans to launch all-electric versions of the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2027, both built on the company’s STLA Frame platform — a dedicated EV architecture designed for large, rugged vehicles.

Stellantis’ long-term investment plans underline this major EV shift. The company has committed $19 billion by April 2028 toward new battery plants, facility upgrades, EV training, and the development of next-generation electric vehicles. Out of that, about $9.4 billion will be allocated to the construction of three new battery manufacturing plants, further strengthening Stellantis’ North American EV supply chain.
With the Jeep Wrangler EV on the horizon, Stellantis is clearly positioning itself to compete head-on in the fast-growing electric SUV market, while staying true to Jeep’s legendary off-road heritage.
