How to Charge Your Jeep 4xe EV

One of the best things about driving a PHEV is the ability to enjoy its all-electric range! Both the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe offer over 20 miles of all-electric range, and keeping your battery charged will help you access it. Here in the Richmond area, there are over 130 EV charging stations available to the public! As you can imagine, this makes it easy for EV and PHEV drivers to keep their vehicles charged and ready, even while they're on-the-go. Using a public charging station is very similar to using a gas pump. You simply drive up to an available spot, plug the charging cable into your vehicle, and use the pin pad and touchscreen to complete your purchase. Your vehicle will communicate with the charger to let it know its current charging status, and then your charging session will begin!

If you're the proud owner of a Jeep Wrangler 4xe or Grand Cherokee 4xe, you'll be pleased to learn that your PHEV requires minimal battery maintenance throughout its lifetime. With the proper care, your battery can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years! Just like all rechargeable batteries, there are a few ways you can care for your battery in order to prevent any unnecessary wear and tear. One way to protect your battery is to keep your PHEV out of extreme heat or cold. If it's snowy in your area, be sure to clean the snow off as soon as possible, and warm up your car before you drive. If you live in extreme heat, try to park your car in the shade, or inside a garage where it's out of the direct sunlight. If you're driving for long periods, try to keep your vehicle's battery within 20-80% charged. This is the most efficient charging range, and will help you protect your battery.

As we mentioned above, there is a wealth of public EV charging stations available in the Richmond, VA area. However, one of the best ways to ensure that your PHEV stays charged at all times is to use a home charging station. When you have an at-home charger, it gives your Jeep 4xe the chance to take its time achieving a fully charged battery. It's also convenient for the driver, since you can charge your vehicle overnight while you're sleeping, and wake up to a vehicle that's charged and ready to go! Similarly, you can let your car charge safely in your driveway or garage while you go about your daily routine at home, and your car will be charging all the while! It's a simple and convenient way to charge your Jeep 4xe EV. You can have your home charging station professionally installed thanks to Jeep's partnership with QMerit. Be sure to speak with our service center for more information.

The Jeep brand has done a great job of ushering in its new plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and the first few options are based on Jeep vehicles you already know and love! The Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe are electrified versions of the classic Wrangler and Grand Cherokee models, but they each feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain that includes a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, twin electric motors, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. Jeep 4xe vehicles also provide you with three E-Selec drive modes, Hybrid, Electric, and eSave. Hybrid mode uses power from the engine and the battery at once, giving you the greatest availability of torque. Electric mode lets you enjoy all-electric range for up to 21 miles in the Wrangler 4xe, and up to 25 miles for the Grand Cherokee 4xe. Lastly, eSave will prioritize the engine, saving the battery's charge for later.
