At Home Jeep 4xe Charging Tips
Charging Your Jeep® 4xe Vehicle at Home
At Marburger Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we are excited to bring you the latest, most exciting new Jeep® vehicles. Our inventory includes models like the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe. These plug-in hybrid SUVs provide tremendous power and outstanding fuel efficiency.
Both the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe use a combination of gas and electricity to produce power. That means both vehicles need to be refilled at the pump and recharged either at home or at a charging station. If you are interested in getting a Jeep 4xe vehicle, here is what you need to know about recharging it.
How to Charge Your Jeep 4xe Vehicle
Whether you already drive a Jeep Wrangler 4xe or Grand Cherokee 4xe or are considering getting one, it is important to know how to charge it. The EV charging process might seem daunting at first, but it is actually pretty simple. There are three levels of EV charging for you to consider:
- Level 1: Every Jeep Wrangler 4xe or Grand Cherokee 4xe comes standard with a Level 1 EV charger. This charger can plug into a 120-volt outlet and rechargers the Jeep 4xe battery in about 12 hours.
- Level 2: When you buy or lease a Jeep 4xe vehicle, you can also purchase an available Level 2 charging system. A professional electrician needs to install this charger at your home. A level 2 charger can recharge your vehicle's battery in about two hours.
- DC Fast Charging Station: When you need to recharge your EV on the road, stop by a DC Fast Charging station. These extra-fast public stations can recharge your Jeep 4xe battery to 80 percent in about 30 minutes.
When Should I Recharge My EV Battery?
Recharging your EV at home can use a lot of power, so charging during off-peak hours can put a significantly lower strain on your power grid. On-peak hours generally run from seven in the morning to 11 at night. The available Jeep 4xe Level 2 Charger includes Wi-Fi connectivity and an alert that lets you know more accurate off-peak hours via the Jeep smartphone app. This lets you pick the optimal times to charge your EV more easily.
How Much Should I Charge My EV Battery?
When you first drive your new EV, it can feel tempting to charge the battery the same way you might handle filling up the gas tank: filling it up when needed and all the way. However, to optimize electric performance and extend battery life, it can be smart to follow a few guidelines when it comes to recharging your Jeep 4xe battery. Fully charging your battery to 100 percent every time you plug it in can actually shorten its lifespan. So, it can let your battery drop to nearly zero percent charge. To optimize both battery life and driving range, it's a good idea to keep your Jeep 4xe battery between 15 percent and 85 percent charged at all times.
