Jeep is about to launch its first electric vehicle ever to be offered in the U.S. It rides on the same underpinnings as the new, electric Dodge Charger, but reworked for the midsize luxury SUV segment. Its size and price put it in line with cars like the gas-powered BMW X5, and it's significantly more expensive than the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq. That makes it a late joiner to a competitive and tough segment.
