Here are some common Jeep 4xe FAQs:
Jeep 4xe Frequently Asked Questions
Jeep 4xe vehicles are PHEVs. PHEV stands for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and they’re essentially vehicles that bridge the gap between a standard hybrid model and a fully electric model. Plug-in hybrid Jeep vehicles feature a larger battery than standard hybrid vehicles so you can experience some full-electric driving range. However, there’s no need for range anxiety as your Jeep 4xe will simply switch to its internal combustion engine that’s powered by gas when you run out of charge.
Regular hybrid vehicles are a perfect choice when you’re not ready to fully commit to an electric vehicle but you still want to save on fuel. Plug-in hybrids can be seen as the next step in hybrid vehicle technology as it still offers the flexibility you can enjoy with a regular hybrid vehicle while providing a larger battery for a dedicated electric driving range like a fully electric vehicle. Personally, we think PHEVs have a lot to offer and provide the perfect balance between a hybrid vehicle and an electric vehicle.
Yes! Your Jeep 4xe will automatically switch between the battery and internal combustion engine. That means your day-to-day travels in Laveen won’t be any different than if you were driving a regular vehicle with just an internal combustion engine. With that being said, you will have the ability to switch between different drive modes and indicate whether you want to use full electric power, full gas power, or a combination of both.
One of the main advantages that a PHEV has over an EV is that you have the flexibility to not plug in if you don’t need to. Jeep 4xe models feature both an internal combustion engine and batteries so that you can continue to drive around Lafayette without ever having to plug it in. As long as you’ve got a gas station nearby, you technically never have to plug in your Jeep 4xe. However, most owners tend to plug in their Jeep 4xe models overnight so that they’ve got a fully electric driving range for their commute or when they want to hit some off-road trails.
No! Your Jeep 4xe is equipped with special software that manages battery usage to maximize battery lifespan and usability over time. That means you can charge your Jeep 4xe whenever is best for your schedule. You can even schedule your Jeep 4xe to charge at a specific time like when utility rates are less expensive. Flexibility is in your hands when you’ve got a Jeep 4xe by your side.
Depending on your specific area and location, you may get to benefit from an extended warranty that helps you enjoy added peace of mind on your travels. Jeep 4xe vehicles are backed by an 8-year/100,00-mile limited warranty that covers the battery and related components in addition to the new vehicle warranty typically found on new Jeep models.
Similar to electric vehicles, there are three main ways to charge your Jeep 4xe vehicle. Charging your Jeep 4xe allows you to always have a fully electric driving range so you can use as little fuel as possible. Here are the different ways you can charge your Jeep 4xe:
- Level 1: Every Jeep 4xe model comes with a Level 1 charging cable that can be used with nearly every regular home outlet in North Mountain. This is one of the easiest ways to charge your Jeep 4xe model but isn’t always the fastest.
- Level 2: You can also opt for a Level 2 Mopar charger which can often be installed by a professional in your home. Level 2 chargers will charge your Jeep 4xe vehicle much quicker.
- Public Charging Stations: If you’re out and about, you’ll be able to utilize many public charging stations as well. That way you can run errands while charging the battery on your Jeep 4xe model.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles aren’t right for every lifestyle but they certainly have a lot to offer and can be a good fit depending on your exact needs. If you’re on the fence about upgrading to a Jeep 4xe model, you can always visit our Lafayette dealership for assistance. However, here are a few benefits that you’ll get to enjoy when you upgrade to a Jeep 4xe:
- Efficiency: This is one of the main advantages of a Jeep 4xe and that’s better efficiency. You won’t have to worry about stopping at gas stations often with a Jeep 4xe. Additionally, you can spend more time on the trails since Jeep 4xe models provide a battery driving range.
- Flexibility: Whether you want to plug into a Level 2 charger or you’ll simply be plugging your Jeep 4xe into a standard outlet in your home, there’s many different ways to charge your Jeep 4xe and you don’t even have to plug it in at all if you don’t want to.
- Quiet: When operating on pure electric power, your Jeep 4xe is quiet and serene so you can enjoy a more relaxing drive.
- Performance: Just because you’re choosing a Jeep 4xe doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice performance and the off-road capabilities and powerful engines in each Jeep 4xe model provides that.
There’s plenty more to enjoy with Jeep 4xe models and you’ll have to experience it for yourself to really be able to appreciate all that these vehicles have to offer.
Since Jeep 4xe vehicles can drive on full-electric power, you may be wondering how pedestrians will hear you if you’re in a Jeep 4xe. Jeep 4xe models are equipped with a Pedestrian Alert System that’ll let pedestrians know you’re driving near them. The Pedestrian Alert System makes an audible noise if you’re driving at or below 20mph. This maximizes the safety of those around you so you can enjoy a pure-electric driving experience with no worries.
No! With the help of our service experts, you’ll have no problem keeping your Jeep 4xe running smoothly for many miles ahead. These vehicles are designed to be just as rugged as any other Jeep vehicle so don’t be afraid to go exploring off the beaten path with your Jeep 4xe.
Yes! If you’re particularly interested in the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, you’ll still be able to remove the doors and tops so you can enjoy a more immersive off-roading experience. Jeep Wrangler 4xe models are essentially no different than regular Jeep Wrangler vehicles so you can still expect to enjoy legendary performance, iconic styling, and an open-air driving experience no matter which Jeep Wrangler configuration you choose.
Yes! Jeep 4xe vehicles are designed to be just as off-road-ready as any other Jeep model. Although they have a battery, the batteries are safely sealed behind waterproofed casings and have been tested to endure nearly any off-road adventure. You’ll be ready for almost anything with a Jeep 4xe.
Yes! There’s no better option for you to get into the driver’s seat than a Jeep 4xe model. They come with the ability to drive on gas or electric power and provide the off-road prowess you’ve come to expect from a Jeep vehicle. If you’re looking for the best of both worlds between off-road performance and incredible efficiency, a Jeep 4xe model makes the most sense.
