Check out our Jeep 4xe Inventory at Lone Star CDJR!
Last year, the Grand Cherokee announced its greatest creation yet with the Grand Cherokee 4xe; it's a hybrid SUV that takes a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and adds hybrid elements such as a battery pack and two electric motors to generate 275 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. On top of one of the best engines ever invented, the Grand Cherokee 4xe also comes with many luxury, tech, and performance items throughout the cabin. While there is plenty to be excited about with the Grand Cherokee 4xe, many drivers will have questions about charging their vehicle. Below we will go over some of the most common FAQs when charging your Grand Cherokee 4xe!
What type of charging cable does the Grand Cherokee 4xe use?
The Grand Cherokee 4xe has a Level 1 charging cable and a standard 120-volt household outlet cable. It can also be charged using a Level 2 charging station with a 240-volt power supply. How long your Grand Cherokee 4xe takes to charge will depend on the type of charger that you get, as charging times may vary depending on the charging method used. The Level 1 charging cable can take around 12-14 hours to charge the vehicle from a depleted battery fully. A Level 2 charging station can reduce the charging time to approximately 2-3 hours for a full charge. The Grand Cherokee 4xe will come standard with the Level 1 charger, but you can easily set up a Level 2 charger in your home or garage.
Can I use public charging stations with the Grand Cherokee 4xe?
The Grand Cherokee 4xe is compatible with public Level 2 charging stations. These stations are typically found in public areas such as shopping centers, parking lots, and charging networks. You must have the appropriate charging cable or adapter to connect to the charging station. As of this writing, you cannot use a DC Fast Charger on your Grand Cherokee 4xe as it does not support DC fast charging. It is designed for Level 1 and Level 2 charging methods only.
Are there any recommended charging accessories for the Grand Cherokee 4xe?
It is recommended to have a Level 2 charging station installed at your home for faster charging. Additionally, you may want to consider purchasing a charging cable carrying bag, cable management tools, and adapters for different charging stations to enhance convenience and organization. In addition, the Grand Cherokee 4xe offers a pre-conditioning feature that allows you to warm or cool the battery and cabin before driving. This feature can be controlled through the Uconnect infotainment system or the available mobile app, provided it is connected to a power source.
Does the Grand Cherokee 4xe use regenerative braking?
The Grand Cherokee 4xe utilizes regenerative braking technology, which helps recharge the battery while driving. When you apply the brakes or coast, the electric motor converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is then used to charge the battery. There are also different charge modes for your Grand Cherokee 4xe, such as Electric Mode, which utilizes the battery power alone and allows for all-electric driving. You can select this mode when you have sufficient charge in the battery. Hybrid mode, where the vehicle automatically switches between the gasoline engine and the electric motor to optimize fuel efficiency. The battery is charged through regenerative braking and engine power. And eSave mode, which prioritizes saving the battery charge for later use. It mainly uses the gasoline engine to power the vehicle, reserving the electric power for specific situations or when you choose to switch to Electric Mode.
