How to Charge Your Jeep 4xe

Find your PHEV at Cuero CDJR!

The Jeep heritage brand has been around for an incredible 81 years! Few vehicles can boast such an enduring legacy, but even after all that time, Jeep continues to find ways to innovate. One great example of this type of innovation is the Jeep 4xe collection of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs. These models take all the signature Jeep features, from the iconic silhouette, to the unmatched off-road abilities, and pair them with a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain featuring a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. With the help of the Wrangler 4xe and the Grand Cherokee 4xe, you can travel up to 25 miles on electric power alone, and you can also extend your adventure for up to 470 miles of total combined range! Keep reading down below as we go in-depth about the 4xe powertrain options, and how you can recharge your PHEV from home!

What's Under the Hood of a Jeep 4xe?

Most Jeep models are known for their robust engine options, but the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe take things to the next level! These models are plug-in hybrids, meaning they combine the utility of a gas engine alongside a rechargeable battery. For both the Wrangler 4xe and the Grand Cherokee 4xe, you'll find a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a lithium-ion battery pack. These powertrains are rated at 375 horsepower, and 470 lb-ft of torque. When you drive a Jeep 4xe, you can choose between three different drive modes. In Hybrid Mode, the vehicle will utilize the gas tank as well as the battery at the same time. This will result in the maximum amount of torque. There's also Electric Mode, which uses the battery pack, and eSave, which will utilize the gas tank first, and let you save your battery charge for later!

How Can I Recharge My Jeep 4xe?

For those of you who are new to the world of plug-in hybrid vehicles, you might be wondering how to charge up your vehicle so that it's ready for your next adventure. In the case of the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe, there's a gas tank as well as an electric charging port. You'll be able to fill up your gas tank as normal, but with the help of the electric charge, you'll be able to fill up less often, and save money in the long run. When it comes to charging your battery, you'll find it's very similar to filling your tank. The charging port is located on the front end of the vehicle, on the driver's side. It opens up just like a fuel valve, and you can then plug in your charging cable, and allow it to sit inside the port for the necessary amount of time it takes to charge. To monitor your battery levels and see that the battery is fully charged, simply check on the LED indicators on your dashboard, or next to the port itself.

Home Charging with Jeep Charging Stations

The Jeep brand is on a mission to make charging stations more accessible nationwide, and they've already begun the process of installing charging stations at popular off-roading sites! However, you can also install your very own charging station in your own home so that you can reliably charge your vehicle on a daily basis. There are two options here, a plug-in station and a hard-wired station. The plug-in station can be plugged into any outlet, and it's portable, waterproof, and offers Wi-Fi connectivity so that you can monitor your charging from your smartphone! Plus, you can get notifications that let you know the best time to charge your car based on electricity rates in your area. The second option is a hard-wired station, which offers all the same great features, except it's connected directly to your home's wiring system, making it a permanent and reliable option for your PHEV!
