One of the most common questions we get from customers looking to buy the Jeep Wrangler 4xe is, “Can it charge itself while driving?” The short answer is yes. Every Jeep plug-in-hybrid can recharge its battery on the go thanks to regenerative braking technology. However, you will need to plug in the SUV to recharge it fully. To learn more about the Jeep Wrangler 4xe’s charging options, charging time, and other important details, continue reading this article by our team at Krystal Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT.
Regenerative braking is an innovative technology used in Jeep PHEV models, like the Wrangler 4xe, allowing them to recharge their battery while driving. It captures the kinetic energy generated when you brake or decelerate, converts it to electrical energy, and stores it in the battery, extending the electric driving range. Regenerative braking is a default feature on the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, as it is automatically activated when you start the SUV.
There are two options you can consider when looking to recharge your Wrangler 4xe’s battery: (i) Level I charging and (ii) Level II charging.
Level I charging involves plugging the hybrid into a standard 120-volt household outlet. You can use this method to top off your SUV at home and get it ready for your next adventure.
Level II charging uses a 240-volt electrical outlet like those found in public charging stations scattered around Lake Placid. However, you can also do this type of charging at home if you have a dedicated 240-volt charger installed.
Every Jeep Wrangler 4xe model comes with a 12-amp Level I charging cord, which can take up to 12 hours to fully recharge your battery( i.e, you can plug in the SUV at night, and it will have a fully charged battery in the morning). A 32-amp Level II charger is also available for those who don’t wait that long to get their SUV charged. It reduces the time needed to charge the battery to about 2.5 hours.
The electric Wrangler is no slouch when it comes to power and performance. It is propelled by a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine and two electric motors, producing a combined 375 horsepower and 470 pounds-feet of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this plug-in hybrid engine can move the SUV from 0-60 mph in just 7 seconds. A 17 kWh battery pack powers the motors, offering an all-electric range of up to 60 miles. The Wrangler 4xe is outfitted with an all-wheel drive system, making it an outstanding off-road machine.
