Charging FAQs for the Wrangler 4xe
You just brought your new Jeep Wrangler 4xe home, congratulations! Now how do you charge it? What about when you are traveling or conquering the great outdoors? The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has a powerful 17.3 kWh battery. It only takes two hours to fully replenish its energy with a Level II battery charger so you can get back to your all-electric adventure. So, travel with confidence wherever you go, thanks to the uncompromised capability that maintains the spirit and authenticity of the Jeep Brand. Well, the great folks at Lone Star CDJR understand that most people that buy the Wrangler 4xe are first-time EV owners, so we thought we would answer a few common questions about charging your Wrangler 4xe.Â
Does the Jeep Wrangler come with a charging cable?
Every Jeep Wrangler 4xe comes with a level 1 charging cable. These cables will plug into a standard household 120-volt outlet. The standard level 1 charging cable will likely be sufficient for those who only charge once daily, usually when they arrive home at night. Your Wrangler 4xe can recharge in 12 hours using the included Level I charger. With the ability to charge at home and work, you can enjoy the benefits of fully electric daily commutes.
How fast does the Level 2 home charging unit charge the Wrangler 4xe?
For drivers in and out all day and needing a faster recharge, we recommend upgrading to a level 2 charging unit at your house. A Level 2 unit runs off 240 volts and does require professional installation. However, the Level 2 Jeep Branded TurboDX Electric Vehicle EV Charger is simple and offers a faster charge than Level I. The Level II charger can fully charge the battery in approximately 2 hours versus 12 hours. By plugging back in after every trip, 4xe owners can take advantage of the Jeep's ability to recharge quickly, but only if they have the proper charging equipment. Jeep has partnered with Qmerit to make installing a Level 2 charger at your home simple. The free estimate will take only 5-10 minutes, and you can decide when to move forward.
How do I charge my Wrangler 4xe on the Trail?
Jeep has thought of everything! They know Jeep drivers will take their vehicles off-road (that's what they're made for), but how do you charge your Wrangler 4xe when you are in the middle of nowhere? Jeep is working to establish a Jeep 4xe Charging Network across America for 4xe owners. These stations will allow you to continue your electrified adventures in some of the most remote destinations, including Jeep Badge of Honor off-road trailheads.
What kind of charging technology does Jeep offer?
The Hybrid Electric Pages on your Wrangler 4xe's Uconnect system deliver insightful information about your PHEV engine performance. Get a real-time Power Flow visualization to know where the energy comes from or check your Driving History stats. Use the Charging Schedule to take advantage of off-peak hours or switch to eSave mode to preserve battery power. It is even easier to learn more about the benefits of traveling in your Wrangler 4xe with the GO 4xe LIVE app. The app calculates the mileage traveled and indicates the electrical energy consumed while monitoring the battery status and the car's remaining range for the journey. The app also provides notifications of charging points available along the route, indicating whether charging is needed at one of them. At the end of the trip, it shows the potential financial savings and the CO2 emissions offset compared to the use of a car with a combustion engine.
