Electric Vehicle At-Home Charging Options

Level one charging units are the most common charging type as every electric vehicle come from the factory with this charging cable, and there is no need to install any additional equipment. Level one units are perfect for a plug-in hybrid, such as the Jeep Wrangler 4xe. It can be plugged into a standard household 110-volt grounded wall outlet. A Level 1 charging station will deliver about 5 miles per hour of charge. This ready-to-go option might be suitable if you have a short commute and an extended time to charge. 

Level 2 charging stations are four times faster than Level 1 and can provide about 25 miles per hour. However, this unit does require a professionally installed 240-volt outlet on a dedicated circuit, similar to the outlet your dyer uses. Jeep has created a Level two unit that customers can order. The Level II Jeep Branded TurboDX Electric Vehicle EV Charger is simple to use and offers a faster charge than Level I. The Level II charger can fully charge the battery in approximately 2 hours versus 12 hours. Drivers with long commutes or who want a faster charge or a longer electric driving range should consider choosing a Level 2 charging station.

DC Fast Chargers are the fastest and most powerful unit. They can charge your EV in 10-30 minutes to a full charge. However, since they require 480-500 volts, most residential properties cannot accommodate these hefty power requirements. Installing a DC charger in a home would require immense structural changes and money. 

Jeep's powerful 17.3 kWh battery lies at the center of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Wrangler 4xe. It only takes two hours to fully replenish its energy with an available Level II battery charger so you can return to your all-electric adventure.
