Ineos Unveils Electric Fusilier 4x4 with Range-Extender Option

Sir Jim Ratcliffe challenges EV mandates, advocating for consumer choice and hybrid models amid the electric vehicle push.

Ineos Automotive introduces the Fusilier, an electric 4x4 available in both all-electric and range-extender versions, aiming to combine electric efficiency with traditional fuel reliability.
The Fusilier, smaller than its Grenadier sibling, is designed for both urban and off-road use, featuring a sleek, aerodynamic design and built on a skateboard platform.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe criticizes the forced adoption of electric vehicles, emphasizing the need for a variety of power sources and consumer choice in the face of current EV limitations.
The range-extender version of the Fusilier will use a petrol engine to generate electricity for the battery, addressing range anxiety and charging infrastructure concerns.
Ineos plans to manufacture the Fusilier in Austria with Magna, eyeing potential expansion in China and the US, and sets a launch date for mid-2027.
