USAThe Jeep Recon Moab covered 160 miles (257 km) in Car and Driver’s highway range test, which charges a car to 100% and drives it at a steady 75 mph (121 km/h) until it stops. The EPA rates the same trim at 222 miles (357 km), so the test result is 28% short of the official figure.
The Recon averaged 1.7 miles per kWh (2.7 km per kWh). Car and Driver works from a 94 kWh battery. Jeep quotes 100.5 kWh, so 94 kWh is most likely the usable share of that pack.
The Wagoneer S in the same test
The Jeep Wagoneer S, an electric SUV on related Stellantis hardware with a battery of the same size, covered 280 miles (451 km) in the same test, at about 3 miles per kWh. That is 120 miles (194 km) more from the same amount of stored energy.
Electrek and The Autopian put the gap down to the Recon’s off-road hardware: more ground clearance, all-terrain tyres and a boxier body. At highway speed a tall body pushes more air, and knobbly tread adds rolling resistance. The Wagoneer S sits lower and was shaped for the road.
What the EPA figure measures
The EPA rating blends city and highway cycles, most of them run well below 75 mph. Electrek, reporting the test, puts the Recon among the least efficient of the more than 100 EVs Car and Driver has run through it.
US orders for the Recon opened in July 2026, in the Moab trim only, from $66,995 including destination.
