Charging FAQs for the Grand Cherokee 4xe

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.

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.

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.

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.

With many different charging methods and a powerful engine, it's no wonder that more and more people are choosing the Grand Cherokee 4xe for their hybrid needs!
