Electric Revolution: Jeep Wagoneer S Unveiled, Equinox EV Impresses, and the Future of Affordable EVs

Jeep Wagoneer S makes its debut, Equinox EV gets tested, and 2026 Bolt EV pricing revealed in Today's Car News

We take the Chevy Equinox EV for a spin. Jeep introduces its first EV in the U.S. Tesla paves the way for competitors in charging technology. GM explores innovative methods to cool charging ports. Additionally, SUVs contribute significantly to CO2 emissions. Find all these stories and more on Green Car Reports.

Jeep unveiled its inaugural fully electric vehicle destined for the U.S. market on Thursday evening. The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S EV, slightly larger in interior space than the Grand Cherokee, boasts over 300 miles of driving range, according to the manufacturer. A special Launch Edition is set to arrive this autumn, with a starting price of $71,995, destination fees included.

A General Motors executive has indicated that the newly redesigned Chevy Bolt EV, set to release in late 2025, is expected to be the most budget-friendly electric vehicle available in the United States.

Tesla's Supercharger network is experiencing a slowdown, opening the door for competitors, particularly in relation to the $5 billion NEVI federal initiative to expand charging infrastructure.

A new patent application suggests that GM might adopt a cooling technique for its electric vehicle charging ports similar to that used in microchip technology. This approach, which involves phase change material (PCM) cooling, has been a staple in cooling systems for electronic chips and has recently become popular in high-tech outdoor equipment.

Compared to standard cars, SUVs produce approximately 20% more carbon dioxide. The increasing popularity of SUVs is negating efforts to promote more environmentally friendly vehicles. This pattern persists regardless of whether the vehicle is electric or not, indicating that smaller, more car-like vehicles are inherently more efficient.

If you didn't catch our report yesterday: Our analysis of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV revealed that this cost-effective model from GM, which will soon offer a $35,000 option, is a proficient electric vehicle that nails all the essential aspects. Additionally, with an EPA-estimated range of 319 miles, it seems to perfectly balance range and affordability.
