As model years pass, Jeep is becoming a major player in the electric vehicle market, first with the 4xe plug-in hybrid powertrain and now with the all-electric Wagoneer S. As EVs become more popular, questions about charging are still arising. Here at Gary Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we want Erie, Pennsylvania, drivers to be as well-educated as possible. That's why we'd like to answer some of the common questions drivers have about charging an electric vehicle at home. Continue reading below to learn more!
What Charger Comes with the Purchase of a Jeep EV?
A Level 1 charger is the one that comes with the purchase of any new EV. Using a Level 1 charger is as simple as plugging in a toaster oven. Simply plug the three-prong plug at one end into a normal household 120-volt outlet and the SAE 1772 connector into the vehicle's charging port. Approximately 1.2 kilowatts are provided by the Level 1 charger. Charging times for an electric vehicle depends on the size of the battery, its condition and age, and its current state of charge. With a Level 1 charger, a Jeep 4xe plug-in hybrid gets a full charge in roughly ten hours. However, the all-new, all-electric Wagoneer S requires about three days to reach a full charge with a Level 1 charger. Most often, Level 1 chargers are used for trickle charging overnight or any time the vehicle is not in use. For PHEVs, a Level 1 charger is perfect for overnight charging, as it provides enough battery power for the next day without overcharging.
What is the Fastest EV Charger to Use at Home?
The top choice for charging among nearly all EV owners is a Level 2 charger. A Level 2 charger can be used in two ways. It can be plugged into a 240-volt outlet, such as the one you'd plug a household appliance into. However, the safer, faster, and more efficient method is to have it professionally hardwired into your home's electrical system. When you purchase a Jeep Level 2 charger, it is provided by Free2Move, a leading manufacturer of EV charging stations. The Free2Move Level 2 charging station provides an alternating current of up to 10 to 19 kilowatts, providing a Jeep 4xe a full charge in 2.5 hours and the Wagoneer S in 8 to 10 hours. Jeep partnered with Qmerit and their network of vetted installation technicians to help Jeep customers with the professional installation of a Level 2 EV charger. When you're out and about in need of a charge, Level 2 chargers are the ones you'll find at a public EV charging station. There is also a Level 3 charger, also known as a Direct Current (DC) Fast Charger. These are exclusively found at some public charging stations and can only be used by all-electric vehicles. The Wagoneer S can gain a full charge in 15 to 60 minutes from a Level 3 charger.
