Eager to learn more about this fun SUV? Campbell CDJR is here to answer all your questions about the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s charging times, range, and other impressive features.
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s 4xe technology combines all the power of a traditional gas-powered engine with all-electric operations to deliver Jeep’s legendary capabilities in a new package. To get down to the details, this SUV comes with a 2.0-liter I-4 DOHC DI Turbo PHEV engine. This translates to you getting up to 375 horsepower and up to 470 lb-ft of torque. Standard on all 4xe models, this engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission that provides a smooth ride with impressive potential.
Perhaps one of the most important factors many consider when looking to buy an electric vehicle is charging time. Not to worry, the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe can charge in as little as two hours, which beats out the latest GMC Hummer EV (another full-size, electric SUV) that takes a little over two hours just to get from 10% to 90% charge. This is with the Level 2 Mopar Branded TurboDX Electric Vehicle (EV) charger, which you can install in your garage or another space you have for charging.
To enjoy the feeling of a full charge every morning when you get up, you can also install a Level 1 charger at your home. It takes around 12 hours to deliver a full charge, which means no more having to run to the nearest charger to top off the tank before work. You can leave the house stress-free. Another advantage of using a Level 1 charger overnight is that you can capitalize on lower electricity rates as rates tend to lower during the evening.
If you want to fully rely on the electric power of this SUV, you can navigate the city streets with ease or push farther until the next pit stop. With the electric-only drive mode enabled, you can get around 25 miles using the fully electric mode before swapping to hybrid. As many city commuters travel around this distance to get to work, this means you can travel to work every day emitting nearly zero emissions and getting there with only a small sip of gas consumed, if needed.
Another real-world use of relying on this electric-only mode is longer road trips. Whether you want to just be able to journey farther or accidentally reach that dreaded empty tank, you can switch it over to the fully electric mode to get you to that next fuel stop. No more having to hike over to the nearest gas station with your three-gallon jerrycan to go just a little farther. You can cruise into the gas station with ease and less stress.
Another drive mode that can save you big is the eSave mode. This mode uses the 2.0-liter turbo engine to reserve battery power for later on down the road. This technology works by using your gas-powered engine to provide power and save that battery power for times when you’re idling or want a quieter ride.
The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe comes automatically with Level 1 and Level 2 charging capabilities. This makes it easy to charge at home with your Level 1 charger, but you can upgrade your home easily to handle the faster Level 2 infrastructure. This all but eliminates the need to venture to the nearest gas station or charging station to fill up the tank, especially if you rely on the all-electric motor more often than hybrid power.
If you do need to venture out, you can count on a compatible charging station nearby. Level 2 charging stations aren’t just found at the gas station either. You can find many stations at shopping centers, parking lots, car dealerships, and local charging networks. Across the nation, Jeep is installing solar-powered charging stations near off-road trails so you can venture beyond the trails, no matter where you are.
The technology works for the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe with innovative features that give you more power and control of your Jeep. One such bit of technology is the SUV’s regenerative braking capabilities. This can help your electric range go even further as this technology converts the kinetic energy produced when you’re braking into electrical power that you can use later.
Another piece of innovation is the vehicle’s Wi-Fi connectivity, which lets you take more control of your vehicle’s charging. With a web portal and mobile app, you can see how your vehicle is charging, and it can even help you learn about electricity low-rate times, allowing you to take advantage of these lower rates to charge your SUV. Beyond that, you can use the Uconnect infotainment system to gain insights into how your vehicle is performing, along with other more standard infotainment features.
With several trim options to choose from, a 470-mile range, all-electric capabilities, and compatible chargers nationwide — now is a great time to get behind the wheel of the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe.
