Jeep is expanding its range rapidly and focusing on extended plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles to provide peace of mind and flexibility. Its vehicles now offer best-in-class fuel economy in both Jeep and SUV groups. Jeep has enjoyed rapid growth in sales of its 4xe range, which is the plug-in hybrid signature. Level 1 and level 2 EV chargers are well suited for the Jeep range.
EV battery sizes are around 17 kilowatts for plug-in hybrids and around 100 kilowatts for pure electric vehicles, including battery electric vehicles. This means the Jeep 4xe range can be charged quickly with level 1 and level 2 EV chargers. A regular 3 pin residential receptacle (type NEMA 5-15) is a common level 1 EV charger, and a 4 pin 240-volt outlet (type NEMA 14-50) is a common Jeep EV charger type.
Jeep offers a variety of chargers to meet the needs of its electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle owners. The most basic option is the Level 1 charger, a standard 120V unit that provides a charging rate of about 12 miles per hour. While this is the slowest option, it can be convenient for overnight charging at home.
For those needing faster charging, the Level 2 charger is a 240V unit that significantly reduces charging times, offering around 25 miles per hour of charge. This makes it ideal for daily use, especially if you have frequent trips and need to top off your battery quickly.
For the fastest charging, Jeep also offers a DC Fast Charger. This powerful option can charge your battery to 80% in just 30 minutes, making it perfect for long trips or when you need a quick boost. Whether you drive a plug-in hybrid or a fully electric Jeep, there’s a charger to fit your lifestyle and driving needs.
The time it takes to fully charge your Jeep EV depends largely on the type of charger you use. With a Level 1 charger, you can expect to spend up to 12 hours to fully charge the battery. This makes it a good option for overnight charging when you’re not in a rush.
If you opt for a Level 2 charger, the charging time drops significantly to around 4 hours. This is ideal for daily use, allowing you to quickly recharge your battery during low rate times or between trips.
For those who need the fastest option, the DC Fast Charger can charge your battery to 80% in just 30 minutes. This is particularly useful for long journeys or when you need a quick charge on the go.

The cost of charging your Jeep EV can vary based on the type of charger you use and the cost of electricity in your area, making it a cost-effective option for your electric car.
Most drivers have frequent trips and like to keep their EV batteries topped off, especially if you have a pure electric vehicle. If you have frequent trips and want to charge your battery up quickly in between trips for more electric driving (saving gas miles and trips to the gas station), then our recommended EV charger is the 14-50 40 amp 9.6 kWh EV charger. For those who prefer a more permanent solution, installing a home charging station can provide convenience and faster charging times.
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, this will result in charge times of around 2 hours and also provide flexibility in the future with no further EV plug upgrades required. The NEMA 14-50 9.6 kWh charger. is our most popular type of Jeep EV charger.
If you are okay with longer EV charge times, then a 5-15 (regular residential 3 pin outlet) is a workable solution for plug-in hybrid vehicles. For models bought after June 30th, 2025, it is highly likely that you will need a Tesla (aka) NACS connector.
