Late last month, Stellantis allowed Jeep to present their first globally-focused all-electric model, the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S. It's a luxury item, by the way, unlike the upcoming Jeep Recon, which is supposedly a rugged offering.
With the advent of the Jeep Wagoneer S based on the STLA Large platform, just like the Dodge Charger Daytona EV, packing 600 horsepower and more than 300 miles of range, it's probably a good time to discuss the zero-emissions zone, right? Unlike the Chinese automakers, this sector hasn't gotten a lot of love from traditional OEMs because even the Tesla Model Y bestseller is currently struggling with a reduction in production capacity to adjust to the new market demands.

However, the Jeep Wagoneer S is coming to market in the United States and Canada this fall with the Launch Edition, which packs the best equipment and features for $72k. So, how long can the rest of the world stand on the sideline watching? True, they're weary because models like the BMW iX or Mercedes EQE SUV haven't had a graceful impact on the market – and Fisker's upcoming death raises even more red flags.

However, one automaker is curiously not afraid to drop a massive all-electric SUV with a humongous price tag – Land Rover is diligently preparing not only for the V8-powered Defender Octa but also for the upcoming Range Rover EV. It's already been teased by the British company, and everyone bets that it won't look too different from the standard L460 fifth-generation luxury SUV.

As such, it was easy for the imaginative realm of digital car content creators to envision a potential expansion of the EV powertrain across the entire Range Rover family. So, noting how Land Rover has already opened the waiting list for the Range Rover EV and that the company is probably planning a Range Rover Sport EV as well, a resourceful pixel master decided to also try his CGI hand at illustrating the Range Rover Velar EV and Evoque EV models.

Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media) is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm, and his vision is simple – since the Velar started production in 2017, the beautiful CUV is due for an all-new generation soon, and that could include both ICE and EV options. Also, the current second-generation Evoque is growing a little old already, so it wouldn't be hard to imagine that it would also arrive as an EV along with the ICE-powered third generation.

Meanwhile, the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will donate their current looks to the all-electric versions without too many modifications – we have already seen the first official images of the flagship Range Rover EV a few weeks ago, and the photos revealed that it would be practically indistinguishable from the regular ICE-powered versions aside from sporting a slightly different radiator grille.
