After a relatively long period of uncertainty regarding its stance on EVs, Suzuki is earmarking nearly $35 billion to produce a lineup of five EV models that will go on sale in Europe by the end of the decade, and one of them could be a Jimny EV.

Suzuki’s multi-billion jump into EVs will expand across markets in Japan, Europe and India, according to , but its debut fully-electric models will first be introduced in its home country of Japan in 2023. Europe and India are set to follow in 2024, and within the following six years, Suzuki expects to have between five to six EV models available in these markets.

And just like every other we’ve lusted after since the return of the , the U.S. is not likely to get the Jimny EV. I suppose it’s for the best, because, really, who wants a fully-electric SUV from Suzuki when we’ve got all these to go around?
